Having experience with TouchSmart I can say that HP TouchPad is a deadborn product, sorry.

Shoddy job of showing multi-touch: the screen was keyed and added in post. You can see his fingers masked when he touches the screen.

The only comedy I saw in the videos was... The almost complete lack of comedy! Granted, it's hard to promote something that has so little new to offer (only half-interesting thing was touch to share and they could have showed it more...)
