Both the iPad 2 and the TouchPad can print from print-enabled apps -- sort of. WebOS can print only to network-connected HP printers that use the PCL imaging standard, both ePrint-enabled printers and most network printers manufactured in the last five years. WebOS detects some printers automatically; for those that aren't recognized, you can add them to the available printer list by entering their IP address.
On the iPad, you can print to a wide variety of models connected to a wireless LAN via one of the many printing apps available on the Apple App Store. In this regard, the iPad 2 is the better bet, despite the hassle of using a third-party app. Both the iPad 2 and TouchPad provide universal search, using Spotlight and Just Type, respectively, but they take different perspectives.
Spotlight finds related content, categorized by type: mail message, music, and so on. Also, it lets you extend the search onto the Web or Wikipedia. Tap a result to open in the related app. If an app has matching data, a badge with a numeral appears to indicate the number of matches; click the app or service name to see the relevant instances. This does add a step compared to the iPad 2's Spotlight, but it also means you can do something unique on the TouchPad: Add that text into an application or service.
The idea is that this requires less interruption than switching to an app, except that's not true: If you're already using an app, you have to switch to cards view to get the Just Type field, which is the same as switching to an app in iOS. However, if you are a social media fanatic, you could make Just Type into your primary communications app, sending updates to multiple services from one place a scary thought, given how much junk is in social media streams already. Both Spotlight and Just Type are extensible to third-party apps, though I've seen few cases where iOS developers are taking advantage of Spotlight.
The winner: The iPad 2 comes out on top again, mainly because its app selection is unparalleled. For the underlying apps management capabilities, the TouchPad has the edge, thanks to the notifications capabilities of WebOS and its services technology. Here are the latest Insider stories.

The Rev3 has an internal player for simple viewing of your favorite Revision3 show. Spaz HD. This twitter app handles multiple columns for easily following your friends, mentions and direct messages.
It recently gained the ability to work with lists and the columns can be dragged and dropped in the desired order. This is one of the few twitter apps I have used on any platform that works just as well in portrait and landscape orientations. Spaz HD is a great twitter app and is open source and produced by volunteers. Google Reader users that have a lot of RSS feed subscriptions may want the fastest app for keeping up with them.
While NomNomNom is a great attractive app, TouchFeeds is optimized for processing a lot of feeds and articles as quickly as possible. This is the app I go to first for processing my Google Reader feeds. TWiT is the best online video network bar none, and this app makes keeping up with the great shows a breeze. It is similar to the Rev3 app mentioned above, and like that one turns watching TWiT video into a thing of beauty. There are a lot of other good apps available in the App Catalog but these ten apps are a good place to start for new TouchPad owners.
The quality of all of these apps is superb, and they make a good library for the TouchPad. So when my TouchPad is docked next to my bed it would display a clock and the when sitting in the dock in the living room it would display a photo slideshow. So we can expect new apps that take advantage of the location aware dock and exhibition mode to show up in the HP App catalog shortly.
I am looking forward to a recipe mode for when the TouchPad is docked in the my kitchen. The last real differentiator I want to focus on is touch to share. This is a concept I think is quite interesting. The basic idea is that if you are viewing something on one WebOS device, like the TouchPad, and you want to transfer what you were viewing to another WebOS device, like a Pre.
All you do is touch one to the other and what was on the screen on one device shows up on the other. The concept is simple but powerul. When you are managing or moving from device to devic,e frequently this solution becomes quite useful.
Because your WebOS devices are paired together, you can also use the touch to share technology to recieve and answer phone calls and text messages directly on the TouchPad.
