what's up everyone jon rettinger from technobuffalo here and today we are taking a look in web browsing on the brand's new HP TouchPad let's get started so one of the most important things that I use the touchpad for any tablet in general is web browsing it's great for consuming media and it's great for checking out your favorite websites like for example technobuffalo calm what you've got open right here so you're probably familiar with the user interface it's a deck of cards type you I you can scroll through different cars on have anything else open here but if I were to say open the app store or the app catalog it open it up at a new card and you swipe through cards you just pick the one you want and open it up and you can have the stack of cards as well I can see I've got two different websites open so we'll go and go into TechnoBuffalo you can see what it looks like when you scroll scrolling is very smoothly takes advantage of the Qualcomm dual-core chip pinch-to-zoom is very smooth as well notice it's no delay no lag your little tap action there as well there's an effect we touch this free to get a little ripple serve no right weird on this sometimes they like it some time to find it very annoying but it is there and this is a full flash capable browser and you can see I've got some flash content up and running the sink here on the side is flash that's not overly excited join flash content you can see how things look though on a regular site what if you want to view flash and video let me go ahead and show you what that looks like and let's jump into let's say YouTube Hogan let's just finish loading I should also mention that there is a gesture area across the panel's of each side depending on how you have it orientated so you can swipe up and you can get access to those cards because we were talking about otherwise there is a physical home button here on the bottom alright so let's go ahead and go to youtube and this is not YouTube mobile this is the real deal youtube I'm gonna go in and do it refresh here is the Youtube channel of course to go ahead and see what a flash video looks like and then we'll try everyone's favorite flash site hulu and so you can get Joe hulu own while using your touchpad every time i say touchpad keep the think they want to touch it and if you do decide you want to touch your tablet which i'm sure you will you will have finger lower the back of this guy is like a fingerprint magnet and I saved that a lot for a lot of advice but this one really is that sort of piano black you're going to have fingerprints all over this all right so YouTube is the loading and this is no funny mobile version where it opens up at a nap this is native YouTube just as you find on your desktop browser so you can see it's doing a little spinny thing there and it's getting ready to play now it's come play I think a pre-roll ad on touchpad unboxing actually it looks really really good this is probably the best implementation of / that I've seen there really isn't much stuttering you could very easily watch a video here which full screen flash without any difficulty at all and you give access to all the same controller you'd have otherwise really just a nice implementation of flash I give HP credit I'm sure they worked very closely with Adobe here to make sure everything worked well and it does work very well doesn't appear to be a stutter even on full screen here it works very nicely to get the same for a scrubber bar that you get on regular YouTube so go ahead and close that here go ahead and reorient it yeah and swipe up alright so we saw what that looks like and if you want to get rid of something here on deck of cards you just flip it off the screen we're going to swipe that off the screen open up a new web browser here and let's try hulu and see if you can get yo hulu own i will say to the keyboard here is really nice i love having a full road numbers across the top i didn't realize how handy that was going to be so hulu.com go ahead and hit enter let's see what we got we got it cue it up so we looked like it's going to play we've been fooled before yeah hulu on other devices i know some android devices to it looks like you're gonna be ready to go they're trying to play boom you can't play so we'll try to click from friday night lights and let's see if we get a hulu hulud you go who dance which i suppose like a who love dance my jokes are awful day the holiday weekend guys come on i'm making this video because i love it looks like what's loading are we going to have some playing action this i need like a some sort of dramatic drum roll here to say let's say be a death roll are we gonna be playing it's getting there thinking about it boom it is fully playing hulu is compatible with the HP TouchPad so if you're looking for a big selling point as to why you might want to pick up a touchpad over another device this is probably really compelling reason you can watch hulu content right on the touchpad as we'll see here in just a minute actually does look kinda nice you can watch videos you can watch movies TV shows because all that would probably qualify as as videos here so we got an ad that's a getting ready to play resumed in 30 seconds so it's going um see those you guys going on here opened up a new card by accidents go ahead and go back to the hulu card and it is off and running to the races so go ahead and close out of this everything else is about as you'd expect on a browser things just worked very nicely i'm pretty impressive touchpad browsing overall certainly I don't think the screen is a sensitive to some android tablet for the ipad that i've used this is a tablet i could def get used to using on a daily basis so if you're looking to maybe get a touchpad and you weren't sure if you wanted one hope for this video helped all the ton more feature videos coming up soon I am jon rettinger from technobuffalo and I'll see in the next video bye bye
