HP unveiled the new TouchPad tablet today at their WebOS event. The device runs on an updated WebOS 2.1 and has a resolution of 1024 x 768. It weighs 1.5 pounds and is 13.7mm thick. Under the hood is a dual-core 1.2GHz Snapdragon processor with a choice between 16GB and 32GB of internal storage. The standard WebOS card-like interface is still around, but it has been enhanced for the tablet, allowing users to group cards (apps, windows) together and multitask a bit easier than on the smartphone. It also features some social networking features and QuickOffice for light spreadsheet, document, slide show, or PDF editing. Beats Audio will also be included in the device. No word on battery life, but the Wi-Fi version of the TouchPad will arrive sometime this Summer for an undisclosed price. 3G and 4G versions are on the way sometime later in the year.

Apple’s cheapest iPad might finally catch up on performance

The 2026 iPad is all about performance — not design

Apple's entry-level iPad has always been about value, but performance wasn't its strongest suit. The company's Pro models offered much higher horsepower with their M-series chips.

But the 2026 iPad might finally be getting the boost it needs.

Apple apparently has a new entry-level iPad ready for launch in a few months

Apple's entry-level iPad is getting a long-overdue chip leap — and this time, it brings Apple Intelligence along for the ride.

Apple’s most affordable iPad is gearing up for a meaningful refresh in a few months. This time, it looks like the changes run deeper than a simple silicon upgrade.

According to a new report from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the company has been on track since last year to launch a refreshed entry-level iPad in the first half of 2026, within the iOS 26.4 release timeframe, which runs until May 2026.

Android tablets and foldables are getting an utterly useful Chrome upgrade

Chrome's new bookmarks bar finally brings Android tablets the one desktop browsing feature power users never knew they were missing.

Google is rolling out a bookmarks bar for Chrome users on Android tablets and foldables (basically, large-screen devices) with Chrome version 146. The feature might sound familiar, as it has been available on Chrome for desktop for years.

As seen on desktop, the bookmarks bar appears below the omnibox, spanning the full width of the screen and showcasing favicons alongside site names, while a right-facing chevron handles overflow. Long-pressing a bookmark reveals its full URL.
