It would seem that HP is now preparing to launch the TouchPad in Australia within the next few months, with an invite sent out to media outlets late last week for an event about what appears to be the tablet device.
The invite doesn’t specifically state that the TouchPad is going to be the focus of the event, but there’s some strong indications including the fact that it’s titled ”connect like nothing else” — a similar motto to “works like nothing else” which was used in the US launch and is used in the Australian event description — and pictures of what appears to be a tablet being used in multiple situations.
“HP is pleased to invite you to celebrate technology that works like nothing else,” the event description reads.
A HP spokesperson couldn’t confirm what the event will be about, other than to say that “HP is definitely still bringing the TouchPad to Australia but that is all the details we have at the moment.”
Features of the tablet include a 1.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon dual-core processor, Qualcomm Adreno 220 core graphics capabilities and a 9.7″ LED backlit touch display.
It also boasts built-in Wi-Fi, printing via HP printers which support ePrint, Beats Audio support for better music quality and HP’s Touchstone technology which allows amongst other things the tablet to recharge just by sitting on the charging dock.
