Shawn Blanc’s lengthy review of the HP TouchPad. I wasn’t able to read it until today but it’s by far the best review I’ve read of the TouchPad. I especially love that he wasn’t soft in his review by using the “it will get better” excuse.

His conclusion:

But, alas, the TouchPad is far less likable than I expected it would be. As it is I would not recommend it to anyone I know — even my friends with webOS phones.

I want to love WebOS, but unfortunately it just isn’t quite there yet.
