HP<\/a>‘s first tablet running Palm’s WebOS software is launching tomorrow, hoping to give Apple<\/a>‘s iPad<\/a> a run for its money.<\/p>\n

It’s the same price as the iPad ($499.99 for the 16GB version, and $599.99 for the 32GB version), but for now, TouchPads only have Wi-Fi built in.<\/p>\n

We got our hands on the TouchPad<\/a> for the first time today, and we’ve taken some huge pictures of it, many of which include an iPad as a point of comparison.<\/p>\n

Say hello to the HP TouchPad<\/a> hitting store shelves tomorrow.<\/h2>\n

It runs WebOS 3.0, the newest version of Palm’s mobile<\/a> operating system software.<\/h2>\n

Keep your eyes peeled for our full review next week, but here are some initial impressions thus far:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • When we turned on the device, it took us about 10 minutes to get it to connect to our Wi-Fi network. Once we did, it took another 5 minutes for our WebOS registration to go through.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
      \n
    • The screen looks great, but the TouchPad isn’t ultra responsive. Even with only a couple apps open, there was noticeable lag.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
