To be honest, I haven't really been that interested in Hewlett Packard's upcoming tablet, the TouchPad, until now.
This tablet has a 9.7 inch screen, runs webOS and has a 1.2GHz dual-core Snapdragon tucked inside of it. It honestly isn't really anything too astounding and really isn't even that eye-catching.
However, according to the guys over at PreCentral, HP plans to incorporated a cloud-esque music syncing algorithm that caches the type of music you like to listen to and will automatically download more music that it thinks you would enjoy.
I'm not entirely sure how I feel about this yet. I don't know if I'd want my tablet independently downloading music for me. What if I don't like it? What if my tablet offends me? What if my tablet downloads music IT likes? What if it starts to steal money from me to feed its music downloading addiction? What if we can't be friends anymore?
All joking aside, I'm willing the bet that this feature will probably just download and recommend snippets of songs that you may like before downloading them or something like that.
Pretty interesting concept.

1. Can be good, Can be bad. You dont really know if it will download what you want or just similar to what you like.
2. If I could tell it what to download, NO.
3. Not really.
4. Dont know what that is :(
1. It's just another gimmic feature that will download nothing near anything people like because people may be interested in so much!
2. Yes I would mind, because it would be undermining me and something I could do myself and distinctly know what it is downloading.
3. Yes I'm interested in the whole "bandwagon" that these companies are going on..
4. Yes of course :D If it was in a sandwich though :O
wow - the machine are taking over!
(for all 3 questions)
4. hell no.
ahahhaa
1. eh, more toys
2. yes i would mind, i would not like that at all
3. nope
4. nope
Need to see this working, for now I think it won't download the right stuff.
Nah, I don't think that's going to work. I tried using the genius for iApple products and it didn't really do that much for me. At best it selected something SIMILAR but nothing that I really LIKED. That probably doesn't make any sense, and I would only do it if the auto downloads were free.
Also, I once had canned Spam. Nowhere near as good as the stuff you cook yourself (recludes back into kitchen). :D
This sounds like an awesome idea
1. Wouldnt want it, my taste isnt defined by genres or any other labels you can put on music. I probably wont like it.
2. Dont want it, will clog up my memory
3. Not really
4. for money
1. Not a big fan, it just like a gimmick
2. No
3. Not really
4. I did once, never again
There are so many touch pads that are about to come out, it's hard to keep track. People love these things for no reasons
Great post! Very interesting, I'll be sure to come back! Keep up the great work :)
1. i want to touch it
2. yes
3. maybe
4. depends
i dont think i would like that feature
Would just waste space with songs I don't want.
1. Not into that kinda stuff
2. No
3. Not really
4. Never
1. What do you guys think?
2. Would you mind your tablet downloading music for you?
3. Are you interested in the TouchPad?
4. Would you ever eat canned Spam?
1. Sounds interesting.
2. I'd give it a try.
3. If I was in the market, I would be.
4. Yep.
WebOS? fail.
no
unless it's free, no
I prefer my spam from a jar.
1. Interesting
2. I might appreciate it if it got it right.
3. Not terribly
4. I would try it once and possibly never again.
1. Hard to say
2. I wouldn't like it because of bandwith issues
3. Not really, atm
4. Nope
Lame what if i dont like the song wasted my bandwidth.
ipad bro or motorolla xoom
Interesting idea! If it was really relevant, the downloads could be handy. Haha, spam is actually really popular in Hawaii.
I want one.
Craving for some!
I do not like the sound of this. I think it would download a lot of music that I do not like. And if people have stuff like Lady GaGa, then the tablet will download horrible sounding stuff that is basically copying her format. And because they are not famous they will not like it. also, No. No. No.
kinda cool!
1. Eh... depends on if it costs anything
2. See point one
3. Not really
4. Oh hells no
WebOS is IMHO the best smartphone (tablet maybe?) OS
1. I don't think I'd like it, my music collection is big enough and I already have enough music I don't even listen to regularly.
2. Yes, don't want.
3. I have no use for the thing.
4. I don't see why not.
