(I post the following article for participating in "Lenovo Better Way IndiBlogger Contest")
I am at present using Hp touchpad which was given to me by my son which in turn was presented to him by a friend in USA who purchased it when it was launched in 2011.
The following are the configuration of the HP touchpad::
- Storage capacity: :64 GB
- Version HP webOS 3.0.5
- Memory:1 GB, Mobile DDR2 SDRAM
- Display:9.7 inch, 1024×768 pixel, Gorilla Glass multitouch capacitive touch screen. Interaction by finger .
The following applications are available preloaded in the touchpad::
Web,Email,Messaging,HP App catalog,Memos,Qucik Office,Adobe Readers,Maps,Contacts,Music,Phone & Video Calls,Photos & Videos,Face book,Youtube and Book reader
My disappointments/misadventures with HP touch pad:
Initially I was thrilled to have this HP touchpad since it was the first touchpad used by me. I could download some of the free applications from HP Application catalog. .I could install many photos,videos and songs in the touchpad using the USB cable.But slowly I got irritated with the tocuhpad due to many reasons as given below:
Card based multitasking : The TouchPad uses card multitasking which is not a user friendly function. When using an application,if you have to open another application we have to minimize the application by pressing the home button and open another application and I find it irritating to operate like this every time.
No Support and updates for WebOS: The HP TouchPad was launched on July 1, 2011, in USA with WebOS but in Aug 2011 Hewlett-Packard announced that it would discontinue all current hardware devices running webOS.
Since HP has discontinued the support for the Touchpad, there is no updates for the WebOS platform. The last updated version was 3.0.5 as of January 12, 2012.
Lack of New applications: I am increasingly frustrated with the lack of applications and HP’s abandoning of the platform. Apart from the applications already provided in the Application catalog, we cannot down load any new application as in the case of Android market where the number of new applications is growing day by day and most of which are free also.
No support for taking photos: Since there is no front camera we cannot take photos with the touch pad.
How Lenova has come to my rescue?
With the above disappointments and misadventures of HP touchpad, I was looking for buying a new laptop with added features and user friendly functions.
Now I am glad to find that Lenova has introduced Lenova Yoga 10 tablet which has many attractive features.
The Salient features of Lenova Yoga 10 tablet:
This is the World's first Multi mode tablet namely Hold mode,Stand mode and Tilt mode.
It is available in two models :Yoga tablet 10 standard model and Yoga tablet 10 Web Exclusive model both available in the price of about $280. It has very stylish design with increased battery life upto 18 hours.
The Yoga tablet comes with the most famous Android™ 4. 2 JellyBean OS which is mostly used in all Mobile phone platforms and we can download many more applications both paid and free from the web store. Compared to the WebOS platform Android OS is very user friendly also.
The 5.0M rear and 1.6M front cameras let us take high-definition pictures and enjoy crisp, clear video chats. The front camera facility is not available in my present HP touchpad.
The Yoga tablet comes with an optional wireless keyboard which enables the users to operate the device more comfortably. Its weight is also only 1.3 lbs only when compared to HP touchpad's weight of 1.63 lbs. The tablet has also 64GB micro-SD card storage support — perfect for transferring photos or storing large files like movies.
The tablet also comes with the following attractive accessories:

As the excellent features available in Lenova Yoga 10 are not available, it is high time for me to move from my existing HP Touchpad to Lenova Yoga 10. Hope that you will also agree with me.
How I'll use the Lenova Yoga 10 tablet in a better way than the present HP tablet?- I can take pictures using the front camera and upload in Face book.
