If an Apple iPad doesn’t suit your fancy, then you might want to try the new HP TouchPad. You can now pre-order yours, with the price starting at $500.

For that price, you get a lot of bang for your buck. Engadget gives a rundown of all the features the TouchPad comes loaded with. Here’s what’s under the hood:

…a dual-core 1.2GHz Snapdragon processor, accelerometer, gyroscope, compass, stereo speakers, Touch-to-Share, a 1.3 megapixel front-facing camera, and, of course, a gussied-up version of webOS optimized for that 9.7-inch display.

The TouchPad comes in two basic models. The first is a 16GB version for $499.99 and the second is a whopping 32GB that is going for $599.99. Both are WiFi only.

And finally, Amazon has a webOS version of their popular Kindle app ready to go for all you ebook lovers.
