Lack of UI enhancements

Final Word :

Cons aside, the design simply falls under what I would call a nice looking piece of hardware. I simply can't avoid people staring at it and asking me where they can buy one. HP does need to go back to the drawing board immediately and fix the bugs to make this a true competitor. My overall impression in the end is that once these issues are solved, the device, with some additional third party app's can become a winner. The only problem is, the clock is ticking, and fall's new line up of competition does require HP to move fast.
