The HP Touchpad has had a curious life in the terminal market and global tablets. A few months of being on sale, available to users around the world, has returned to the workshop to a remodeled. Is that OS upgrades are never expect too much. In this case, the update has more to do with the ecosystem of applications and software content than anything else.
