It was full of apps, it had a cool webkit based browser. It has wifi. I could turn it and get 4 different orientations of the screen.
It has 1 gig of ram.
The battery can be removed, which is a nice change.
It's great to turn it to portrait mode and read stuff like comic books or websites.
It does have a home button still.
It's really easy to develop for.
It has a pressure sensitive display, with a stylus, which is great for sketches. It can recognize hand writing really well. Better than any PDA could.
It also has a touch sensitive surface, if you don't want to get the stylus out.
I can press a button and talk to it, either to dictate text, or to issue commands. It does a decent job of recognizing my voice, with little training.
Naturally, it can multitask.
Here's where it gets strange:
It only cost me $300, no subsidies.
it has a full keyboard.
Its x86, not ARM based.
I've been using it for over a year now, but it was manufactured in 2006.
It's made by HP.
It's a TC4200 tablet PC running windows XP.
Oh, you thought all this was a brand new product that hasn't existed until today? Sorry, wrong again.
