  In  terms of size and basic capabilities, the HP TouchPad is very similar  to the current iPad, the Motorola Xoom and Samsung’s 10-inch Tab . It  has a 9.7-inch capacitive touch-screen with a 1024 x 768 resolution,  weighs in at 1.6 pounds, and measures a little over half an inch from  front to back. The HP TouchPad has the front-facing camera for video  calling that the current iPad lacks, but we fully expect an upgraded  iPad with camera before the first TouchPad arrives this summer. The Xoom  and Tab both have front-facing cameras.
webOS
The HP tablet runs webOS, the operating system it acquired when it  bought Palm last year, and webOS supports true multitasking, meaning it  can run more than one program at the same time. Apple’s iOS offers some  multitasking, but not all programs can use it, and when a running  program wants to get your attention, it interrupts whatever else is  going on.
Specs
The HP TouchPad webOS tablet has a 9.7-inch display, a 1.2-GHz  dual-core SnapDragon processor from Qualcomm, 512 MB of RAM, a  1.3-megapixel front-facing camera for video calls, WiFi 802.11b/g/n,  Bluetooth, 3.5 mm headphones jack, TouchStone dock compatibility, 16 or  32 GB of storage and a microUSB charger. It’s pretty much what you’d  expect from a tablet nowadays.
Dividing Up Tasks
WebOS divides up your tasks into a series of ‘cards’ that you can  flick between using the touchscreen. HP describes the idea behind the  system as ‘True Multitasking’, but which it doesn’t just mean a  hardware- or software-based capability, but rather a way of organising  your tasks so you can easily work on multiple cards at once.
