Now, it's really hard for us to do this, mainly because one of our staffers owns and loves a Touchpad. The truth, though,  is that the Touchpad tanked. There have been many suggestions as to why the first, and in all probability last HP consumer tablet failed - from unoptimised software to outmoded hardware - but the problem is most probably HP. It never really looked like they themselves knew what they wanted from a tablet, and it's since become clear they'd rather pursue the business sector anyway. A shame.
