#2Anyone else notice the very "Apple" presentation style?
No mention of price yet? I kind of take that as a bad sign.
I'm very glad to see this space expand. I have a couple elderly relatives that I have considered buying a tablet/slate to replace their computers.

#3i was excited about webOS when it first came out, but the crappy palm pre devices prevented me from adopting it. from everything they've shown during their event today, i'm pretty excited about this new tablet.
i like the integration with the palm pre and being able to transfer calls, text messages, and web pages between the two. i'm glad hp is focusing on integration with existing web services and presenting them all together rather than trying to reinvent the wheel and push customers towards their own services like apple does with mobileme, itunes, ibooks, and facetime, and google does with just about every app they make for android.

Product without price is no product.

#5Granted the software looks very cool and highlights some of the weaknesses of iOS and the iPad. But it's worrisome that there was no talk of price or battery life and availability was listed as "summer" for wifi and "later" for 3G. I fear the Touchpad will be lapped by the upcoming iPad refresh before it even hits. And how much air went out of the Xoom balloon as soon as the $800 price tag leaked? The iPad definitely needs some strong competition but I am afraid this may not be it.

#7Since no price was mentioned, and given the tech specs, what's the maximum price HN'ers would pay for the TouchPad? Any takers?

No point announcing a price when they're so far away from shipping and they don't know what iPad 2's price is gonna be.

Well Jon Rubinstein was an apple employee for 9 years (left in 2006) so I'd think an Apple like presentation style is to be expected.
