主题：想买tablet的，可以考虑TouchPad了 -- OldBadBug

这是惠普电脑 8.16日发布的一个介绍.当时他们都还不知道2天后会发生什么样的杯具...

HP TouchPad是惠普最新推出的平板电脑，它可以为各种用户带来不同的用途。你想用它来做业务用途？它可以。想要不打开你的笔记本电脑就能休闲娱乐？也没问题。

The HP TouchPad is a tablet, sure. It can also be a lot of things to a lot of different people. You wanna get down to business? No problem. Want to kick back and relax without having to bust out your laptop? We gotcha.

如果你已经尝试了TouchPad真正的多任务系统，你可以开着你Box.net的账号，同时玩上一局愤怒的小鸟高清版，或者看一本Kindle的电子书，同时还能开着一个完全使用Adobe Flash的网站。那么这里我提供一个特别推荐的“应用的清单”，没有哪个TouchPad用户会不下载它们。

If you’re already rolling with a TouchPad’s true app multitasking, you can have your Box.net account open, play a round of Angry Birds HD, a Kindle eBook and….heck, a Web site running Adobe Flash all open at the same time. Well, I pulled together a key list of go-to apps that no TouchPad owner should be without.

娱乐,

FYE (For Your Entertainment)

VideoFlood HD： 一个非常棒的应用，利用TouchPad对Flash的支持，可以观看流媒体视频。另外，它简洁的界面可以帮助你在网上快速找到可观看的视频。

VideoFlood HD: One of the great things about having Flash capabilities on the TouchPad is being able to watch streaming video. But this app’s simple interface allows you to quickly find all the shows that are currently available online.

Kindle：一个非常流行的电子书应用。使用whispersync技术，无论你是在平板电脑上、智能手机上还是个人电脑上进行阅读，它都能追踪你的书签，记录你上次看到哪里。提醒一下，Kindle应用目前还不支持杂志订阅。

Kindle: The popular eBook app is here. Using whispersync technology, wherever you read your books (whether a tablet, phone or PC) Kindle keeps track of your bookmarks and where you last were in your story. Fair warning, though, Kindle apps don't currently support magazine subscriptions.

Last.fm：可以分析你听音乐习惯的音乐服务应用，拥有一个非常简洁的界面。

Last.fm: The music service that analyzes your listening patterns (they call it, “scrobbing”) put together a pretty clean interface into this app.

7digital：提供非常多的无版权音乐，你可以从它的网站下载或者直接在线听。

7digital: A wide selection of DRM-free music is now available for you to download or stream from this store.

Mood Agent：和Pandora很像，这个应用分析你存储的曲目并且给予一些建议。不同的地方在于，尽管它同样通过分析你存储在TouchPad上的曲目然后给予推荐，但是它不仅推荐你已经拥有的曲目，还推荐网上可以找到的新曲目。

Mood Agent: Akin to a Pandora, this app reads into your music and makes some suggestions. Here’ the difference, though: It starts by analyzing the songs you already have on your TouchPad and it makes recommendations from what you have – and what’s available online.

AudioPhile HD：如果你想为你的音乐做些效果，比如改变节拍、加上渐弱效果或者其它等等，这个应用非常值得下载。

AudioPhile HD: If you want to really mix up your music (change up the speed, fade the music out or quickly) this app is worth a quick download.

Lyrix：为下一个卡拉OK之夜做好准备吧！

Lyrix: Get ready for that next Karaoke night – or just settle a bet.

Comics HD：我非常喜欢看幽默漫画，不管是我们谈论的是网上的还是报纸周日版的漫画，这个应用都能给你想要的。

Comics HD: I love reading comics. It doesn’t matter if we’re talking Web comics or the classics in the Sunday strip. With this app you can grab your daily dose.

社交网络

GETTING SOCIALIZED

Facebook：这应该是所有设备上界面最优美、功能最齐全的Facebook应用了。

Facebook: Probably the best-looking and most comprehensive Facebook app around on any device.

Spaz HD：提供非常完善的界面以连接你的Twitter feeds。

Spaz HD: This is a highly effective interface for accessing your Twitter feeds."

Localscope：这个应用从Twitter、Foursquare和Google这样的地方抓取信息，帮助你找到当地最好的酒吧，或者是最近的地方去逛商场。

Localscope: This app pulls information from places like Twitter, Foursquare and Google to help you find everything from the best local bars or nearest places to go into a shopping frenzy.

学点东西

LEARN SOMETHING

Epicurious：收集了大量最新的菜谱，你还可以通过社交网络来分析它们，它还可以为你生成一个购物清单。此外，它提供通过主料来查询菜谱的功能。

Epicurious: Discover tons of new recipes – or share some over a social network. Then create your shopping list to take with you. Epicurious also includes a search-by-main-ingredient feature

USA Today：优美简洁的界面，毫不拖沓地带给你每天最重要的信息。

USA Today: This nice-and-tidy interface gives you a quick, no-nonsense look at all the day’s important stories.

TED for TouchPad：可以在TouchPad上观看最新的TED节目，这些节目非常具有教育意义，在许多不同的领域都能给你带来启发。

TED for TouchPad: Get a chance to see all the latest TED talks directly from your TouchPad. These are usually amazingly educational, featuring luminaries from a wide variety of fields

Khan Academy：这可能是一款终极学习应用，它提供了非常广泛的学习视频，从代数到风险投资基础。

Khan Academy: This is probably the ultimate “learn something” app – it’s a video school that’ll teach you everything from Algebra to the basics of Venture Capitalism.

实用工具

UTILITIES

Box.net：50G的免费存储空间，听上去不太可能，但这是真的！你只要下载这个应用并且注册一个免费账号就行了。

Box.net: 50GB of free storage? Sounds crazy, but true. All you gotta do is download the app and set up a free account.

WordPress for TouchPad：如果你写博客，或许会基于WordPress的界面写作。如果是这样的话，这款应用可以让你直接在TouchPad上写博客，然后发布到WordPress上。

WordPress for TouchPad: If you write a blog, odds are that it could be based off of WordPress. If that’s the case, this app makes it simple to create stories straight from your TouchPad1

Glimpse：在webOS上，你可以有许多不同的视图，但是这个应用可以帮助你一次打开不同的桌面应用。如果你是信息摄取狂人，那么试试它吧。

Glimpse: You get a multiple card view within webOS, but this app gives you quick access to a series of widgets on-screen at once in a very logical interface. If you’re an info-junkie, consider this one.

愤怒的小鸟 HD：你把愤怒的小鸟掷向猪们，谁不爱？

Angry Birds HD: You fling furious fowl at pigs. What’s not to love?

Robotek HD：很棒且很容易上手的战略游戏，非常有意思，而且免费。

Robotek HD: A funky strategy game that simple to learn. And kind of fun. And free.

Need for Speed Hot Pursuit：在你的TouchPad上玩这个，听听轮胎摩地的声音吧！

Need for Speed Hot Pursuit: Feel the squeal of tires as you’re racing around on your TouchPad.

GameFly：严格地说，这不是一款游戏，而是一款关于游戏的应用。如果你是像我这样的玩家，那么下载这个应用来跟随最新的游戏新闻与游戏点评吧。如果你注册了它的游戏租赁服务，你可以直接从这个应用进入。

GameFly: Technically, this isn’t a game, but it’s an app all about games. If you’re a gamer (like me), download the GameFly app for all the latest news and game reviews. And if you subscribe to its service, you can go through your queue from the app.

不要忘记TouchPad可以运行Adobe Flash，这意味着你可以直接在大量提供Flash游戏的网站上直接进行游戏。你可以时不时地来查看这个清单，我正不断把在TouchPad上运行良好的Flash游戏加进来。

Don’t forget that the TouchPad can run Adobe Flash. That means there are a whole slew of Web sites hosting thousands of Flash games that you can play right now. For the time being, you can check this list that I’ve been putting together of Flash games that work great on the TouchPad.

既然我们提到了Flash…
