Hasta La Gadget!

We heard that HP‘s recently unveiled TouchSmart tm2 tablet would begin shipping immediately, and given that said “unveiling” happened just last week, well… you know we couldn’t lay off the first unboxing video that we’ve seen. One particular user decided to bless us (or harass us, depending on perspective) with five full minutes of YouTube footage dedicated to the device’s unwrapping, which even includes a breathtaking view of the owners manual being glanced right over in favor of that whole “jumping right in” thing. Be sure to hit up the More Coverage link below if you’re a to-be owner — already lots of chatter going on from folks who just landed one of their own.

[Thanks, Mike and Andy]

As you can probably imagine, Engadget HQ has been boiling over with heated discussion of Apple’s new iPad today. Love it or hate it (and a lot of you seem to hate it), it’s hard not to see it as a pretty bold statement of what Apple thinks general-purpose computing should look like in the future: a giant iPhone. As you can imagine, that’s a provocative vision, and it’s simply not possible to try and condense the opinions of the staff into one Grand Unified Theory of the iPad — so we’re going to do what we did for the Kindle DX and the Droid, and let everyone speak for themselves. Let’s kick it off with the three people who’ve actually seen and used this thing: Josh, Ross, and Joystiq‘s Chris Grant.

CNET’s Senior Editor Donald Bell sounds off the pros and cons from his hands-on experience with the Apple iPad multimedia tablet. pOriginally posted at a href=”http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-12519_7-10442905-49.html” class=”origPostedBlog”MP3 Insider/a/p

Despite the fact that Twitter was despised (and still is) by many people when it first came out, it has actually managed to become pretty useful. There are countless different Twitter applications and websites available which allow Twitter users to add more functionality to the service.

One such website is called Track This and it allows you to track your packages over Twitter. If you check Twitter pretty regularly, this will be the perfect way to keep track of your packages. The best part is that you initiate the tracking right from Twitter, so everything is done without needing to visit other sites.

Here are the steps you need to take to start following your packages via TrackThis:

1. Go to Twitter and follow “trackthis.“
2. “trackthis” will immediately follow you back.
3. Send a direct message, not a reply, to TrackThis with your FedEx, UPS, USPS, or DHL tracking number in it. You can also include a little note about what the package is for.
   
   

Example: You just bought RAM for your computer and it’s being delivered via UPS. You start following “trackthis” and then “trackthis immediately follows you back. Then you send a direct message to them with the UPS tracking number in it, something like: 1234567890 RAM.

Now any time the location of the package is updated, you’ll receive an update that would look something like this:

This just proves that there is more to Twitter than the social/stalking aspect.
