The HP TouchPad has received rather lackluster reviews, mainly because of the buggy state of the software. The sad thing is that some of the issues that I have read about the TouchPad I recognize from my own Palm Pre 2, which I sold very shortly after I bought it. One such issue that someone described in a review was the problem with setting up multiple chat/email accounts – I myself was unable to set up two different Yahoo! accounts on my phone.

All of those small issues add up of course and leave an impression of an unfinished OS, even though WebOS is now at version 3.0; at this point it should be all about adding features, but the fact that HP is seemingly carrying over bugs across major version revisions is both surprising and disappointing. So given my own experience of the Pre 2, and if the HP TouchPad reviews are anything to go by, it is all enough for me to not contemplate the Pre 3, unfortunately.
