The new HP WebOS TouchPad looks cool

HP has just launched their new WebOS TouchPad, their answer to iPad. Based on the demo that I've seen, it seems quite cool. I like the idea where you can close applications by using gestures instead of pressing a button and spoiling the button in the process. It also comes with QuickOffice so you can edit simple documents I presume.

The other cool part is the integration of the TouchPad to the other new WebOS phones like the Pre3. Seems like you can tap the WebOS phone at a certain location and it will be able to share the current web page that is being viewed on the TouchPad.

Some quick specs of the Touchpad known so far:

• 1024x768 pixel 
• 1.5 pounds
• 13mm thickness
• front-facing cameras for video chat
• 16GB or 32GB of built-in memory
• Support for Adobe's Flash
• Beats by Dre speakers
• 1.2GHz dual-core Snapdragon processor

Take a look at the video below that shows a quick demo of the TouchPad. Cool...
