Russell Brand promotes the HP TouchPad
commentsPosted on 05 July 2011 by WebOsArena
The HP TouchPad is facing some tough competition in tablets – the ubiquitous iPad, heaps of Android pretenders, and even small yet promising BlackBerry PlayBook. You might think that’s as serious of an environment as it gets for HP’s webOS tablet, but that’s when British comedian Russell Brand pops in to do some of the explaining and promoting.
First, you’ll get to deeply understand how flicks and swipes on a tablet are different than dealing with boogers, but then you’ll also learn how to handle multitasking and get informed about Brand’s only great idea. If that’s not enough, a brilliant line explains notifications on webOS: “Here’s a message now, I’m just ignoring it.” And quite frankly, with mails, notifications from social networks, microblogs and just about every other website, ironically, that seems more important than ever.
Finally, if you’re thinking “I’m bored now, breathing in and out, on a planet with the Amazonian rainforest, animals, natural wonders, the pyramids,” you know what you can do, right? Brand suggests to grab an HP TouchPad, but we’d advice you to stay tuned for our in-depth review which is coming soon.

HP has a pretty steep uphill battle ahead of them, especially with their upcoming TouchPad tablet. The iPad is still the dominant force in the tablet market, and even the Android juggernaut is only slowly gaining market share. Meanwhile, HP has yet to prove that webOS can be a commercial success on any device, let alone a tablet. But, of course, HP doesn’t need to let the merits of webOS stand on their own in order to pull in users, they can always give stuff away for free.
Wow, this took a while. Unlocked Palm Pre 2 devices got their
