HP’s Jaaksi and Rubinstein Defend WebOS
Now that the TouchPad has been on retail shelves for nearly two weeks, a growing number of complaints from both professional reviewers and users alike have prompted HP to respond to various criticisms leveled at the first WebOS tablet.
HP's Senior VP of WebOS Ari Jaaksi took to his personal blog to address some of the complaints voiced online. He states that many of the device's performance issues stem from users hammering the TouchPad with the day 1 setup routines and from copying tens of gigabytes of locally-stored data. He does admit that "we do not handle the situation as well as we should and WebOS may get sluggish. We need to clearly improve the system performance especially when setting up new accounts and downloading a lot of data".
