It Can't Do No Stinkin' Editing!

My purchase and regular use of a TouchPad was pretty much a foregone conclusion, but getting my wife into the tablet computing world is another story. (Being the owner of a Pre+ and a Pre2, I pretty much knew what I was getting into.)

The unknown is what kind of a tablet -- HP, Apple iPad, or one of the Android variants -- will fit her needs and be a machine that she can effectively use.

The (current) case I can make to her for the HP TouchPad has a ginormus hole in it... It can't edit documents and spreadsheets. She, like a great number of potential purchasers/users, won't be interested in waiting for a "coming soon" (or maybe never) update. The TouchPad is dead to them... Case closed, end of story, ballgame over.

With apologies to the Treasure of Sierra Madre, "It can't do no stinkin' editing!"

Hey, HP, do what it takes, exert the right pressure, to get the editable version of QuickOffice on the TouchPad!
