Get yer mind out of that gutter.
Out of consideration for the people who can’t tolerate snakes, the pictures are after the break.

My damn back survived. I survived.
I went and fondled the following digital devices today, in order:
1 – Nook Touch
2 – iPad 2
3 – HP TouchPad
4 – Samsung Galaxy Tab 10″
5 – HTC Flyer
I will have many, many pictures for the Nook Touch, showing some things no one else has.
A few pictures for the HP TouchPad, with some points about it.
No pictures of the iPad 2, Samsung, and only one of the HTC Flyer.
I plan to have all this posted tomorrow.
So cancel your holiday weekend plans and stand by. Ha!

Taking my damn back out for a several-hours walk to unpain it.
Might also fondle some tech stuff.
Taking along the camera.

Following a labyrinth of links, I was led to the Sony Reader site for Japan.
And found this:
Aside from offering the Pocket Touch in Silver and Pink — as in the U.S. — they offer a third color: Blue.

HP TouchPad: Six Disappointments
Speaking of performance, to call the TouchPad sluggish doesn’t do justice to its laggy behavior. This may be the first tablet running Qualcomm’s dual-core 1.2GHz Snapdragon APQ8060 processor, but if I hadn’t known that a dual-core CPU was inside, I never would have guessed. Never mind the onerous initial boot-up process: The TouchPad took 69 seconds for a cold boot-up, compared with the iPad 2’s 26 seconds, and it took nearly twice as long as most of the competition did in our SunSpider JavaScript test. Loading apps felt interminable; Quickoffice took 10 seconds to launch, in contrast to the near-instant launch of Apple’s Pages. While spending time with the TouchPad, I felt as if I got to know WebOS’s spinning-circle and pulsating-logo graphics (two indicators that something is loading) far too well. Even scrolling through lists and content felt jerky, not smooth.
HP says blah blah blah an Over The Air update will fix things.
When the original Palm Pre went on sale, Palm kicked out an OTA update that first day. I’m waiting to see if HP is smart enough to do that.
Update — there’s more!
