HP's TouchPad is not only the first ever non-smartphone WebOS device, but also the first non-phone "Palm" device since 2005's TX and Z22. As such, ever since its February unveiling , the combined HP/Palm entity is placing a tremendous amount of faith that the the TouchPad will spearhead a rebirth of WebOS, now debuting in verion 3.0 form on this device. Read on for my in-depth TouchPad review.

Packaging & Box Contents Since the TouchPad represents so many "first" for HP's Palm Global Business Unit, it's no surprise that the packaging has received a complete overhaul. Gone is the rectangular rigid cardboard box that Palm used for every device from 2008's Treo Pro through the recent HP Veer .

Instead, the TouchPad comes neatly packaged in an Apple-esque sturdy white cardboard sleeve with an all-black interior box. The nicely finished black interior tray is separated into several compartments containing the TouchPad itself, the microUSB cord, and a elongated version of the cylindrical Palm-style AC adapter that has finally had its "Palm" branding removed. A central interior compartment contains a smattering of printed material such as a getting started guide and a microfiber cleaning cloth.
