Weekend with the HP TouchPad: webOS has lots of room for improvement

ZDNet

Matthew Miller expresses his disbelief that HP still can’t match Apple’s user experience.

“The HP TouchPad is not an elegant tablet and is a chunky beast with a super glossy back.It makes up for some of my hardware concerns with the rounded corners, decent stereo speakers, and very slick Touchstone charging dock. The iPad and iPad 2, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, and even the Motorola Xoom are all better hardware.”

Rik Myslewski reports on the lawsuit.

“Little is known of the details of the complaint – other than that it’s for trademark infringement – due to the fact that although it was filed on July 25 and made public this Tuesday, Judge Kiyo Matsumoto of the US District Court, Eastern District of New York, in consultation with plaintiff’s and defendants’ counsel, has ordered “that all documents remain under seal with access only to counsel for the parties and the court,” according to the court docket.”

reports on the Web giants’ project.

“Web Intents, based on an existing capability in Google’s Android mobile OS, will let Web apps express a simple call for an action, like ‘share’ or ‘edit,’ which receiving apps will be designed to use, without either app needing to have specific knowledge of the APIs of the other. This way, instead of having to code for each specific Web app one might want to access, developers can just use these simple requests, which will be built into the browser.”
