HP TouchPad Gets First “Unofficial Unboxing” at WalMart [VIDEO]

By: , 6/28/2011 12:53 pm | 11 comments

Enterprising webOS fan cwhead321 has posted some very interesting new videos of the HP TouchPad on YouTube. The first is an unboxing video of the TouchPad from its retail packaging. HP’s packaging for the TouchPad starts to approach Apple’s standards for unboxing snobbery, so that’s good. We’ll let you come to your own conclusions, though.

Check out the video below.

    Happy to see this, wish there was a few surprises in the box but it will do.

      Your tip led us there… :) But if you can somehow give us the video link itself, that would be helpful. We decided not to run this one since it seem like it was a pre-production unit? Regardless thanks again for the tips.

    Did that thing boot up in less than 10 seconds?

        The video is 1 minute long, and didn’t they start taking out stuff from the box at the start of the video? Yet by 40 seconds they were playing with the Touchpad.

    Wow! Surprised to see you put it on here. It was some sexy hardware though to be honest.
