HP’s Touch to Share eyes-on, starring the TouchPad and HP Pre 3 (video)

Tablet manufacturers love to talk about how magical their devices are, but HP’s Touch to Share truly is something else — you simply bump a paired Pre 3 into an HP TouchPad slate, and the data beams over the air — in this case, loading a website URL a la Chrome to Phone . While it uses the same induction coil technology to connect the twain as HP’s Touchstone dock (and Bluetooth to actually pipe those packets through the ether), you don’t actually need a Touchstone to make the magic happen this time around, only a pair of compatible devices. Representatives tell us that you do have to pair them beforehand, as well — you wouldn’t want an errant Pre 3 owner to swipe your banking session while you’re on the go, now would you? Don’t miss the video above. HP’s Touch to Share eyes-on, starring the TouchPad and HP Pre 3 (video) originally appeared on Engadget on Wed, 09 Feb 2011 17:22:00 EDT.
