hey guys substan here with a comparison between the HP TouchPad and the apple ipad now these two tablets are going to be some of the biggest things that are going to be out all year long so I want to take this up to you to explain a little bit about the differences between them to help you to make a good decision about which one's going to be best for you now before we begin there's one thing I do want to mention I'm going to be comparing this to the current iPad which is out today now the iPad will be replaced with a second generation iPad probably in the next couple of months certainly before the touchpad is released so this comparison might be very different in the next 3-4 months however I'm going to be doing and just on the information we have today as if you're going to go ahead and go to the store and buy them both today so just please do keep that in mind anyway let me go ahead and just start with the newest of them which is going to be the touchpad I know the touchpad has a lot in common with the iPad they both have a nine point seven inch display with a resolution of 1024 by 768 and indeed they also have the very similar shape and size in fact you could almost go ahead and you stack an iPad stack a touchpad together and you're they're gonna be very similar that you're almost the exact same thickness the same width the same height so they're gonna be a very similar as far as the case goes now that's not a bad thing at all I like besides the iPad and I'm liking that the touchpad is going to be very similar to that well they really start to differ is in the processor the touchpad you will find a dual-core 1.2 gigahertz Snapdragon processor if you're not really technically inclined what that's going to mean is it's going to be very fast it's gonna be good at multitasking running multiple apps at the same time which is what webOS is really good for but also just playing games checking email all that the kind of stuff is going to be really quite fast on this tablet now in comparison the current Apple iPad only has a single core one gigahertz Apple a4 chip not by any means bad but certainly not going to be in the same round as far as the speed goes moving on you'll find that the touchpad it has another advantage over the iPad which is going to be a front-facing camera and while the usefulness of this is somewhat in question i video chat really isn't in that mainstream dish yet is definitely very nice that you will actually be able to use it on the touchpad and obviously there's no way to do that on the iPad which does entirely lack any cameras of any sort the biggest difference between the talus however is the operating system now on the iPad it runs i OS which is a very very simple operating system to what you might find if you own an iPhone or an iPod Touch so all the same apps will run you will be able to use this very similar UI and everything and it works really quite well however the touchpad is a very very different animal it has a lot more features and it's really made a lot more for the tablet form factor in my opinion so what you'll be able to do is much better multitasking have you ever seen a webOS device for example a Palm Pre or a palm pixi you look kind of about how that is going to be it has a really nice deck of cards interface which allows you to go ahead and scroll through your various different apps that are open select what you want and just go on with your day one of the most important aspects price is still a question mark right now now while we do know that the iPad will run you anywhere from five hundred to eight hundred twenty-nine dollars the touchpad is going to probably be somewhere in that range but we don't have the excessive extension someone in the five to six hundred dollar price range is going to be where we're going to find it however of course like I said this is still a question mark and that's going to be a big factor so as the release date gets closer it will be out this summer we will probably get more information about that anyway guys that's been it for this video you know the both tablets do have a lot of strengths and weaknesses the iPad has a huge amount of apps really nice operating system and everything however the touch pad has an even better operating system in my opinion as well as better hardware so it's a comparison just between the iPad and the touchpad I'm gonna go ahead and go with the touch pad however this story could entirely change in the next couple of months when the iPad 2 is available so definitely stay tuned for a review of this comparison
