Might go pick one up tonight!

 

The only thing that would be good for is to try to find a way to port another OS onto it... be it Android, iOS, Kindle, Linux.... anything. HP Just announced that they are shutting down WebOS... This means you will get no support. You will get no upgrades. There will be no market. If it breaks, you're screwed. You'd better be technically savvy.



With that said, there ARE people working on porting Android to the device. I may pick one up for myself, but I would not recommend that device to anyone whom I know personally.

 

they are sold out everywhere. just looked

 

all of middle TN is sold out. Local forums are going crazy posting updates, trying to find stock.



HP touchpad tablet is currently the hottest google search item.

 

Sold out here also. For $100 it would have been a great deal, even without support.

 

down at £89 over in the UK too, sold out within the day in most places.





Also rumours that HP will simply re-launch the webOS as they are planning on using it as a base for their new in-car entertainment pods. There is a prize of £1500 up for the first person to get Android working seamlessly on the tablet over here too!

 

HP is releasing new inventory from their warehouses. Hope its a ton and doesnt sell out as quick.

 

Prize is now $2110. It really does not seem hard to do. U bet I could get that award if I had an HP touchpad

 

It's a hundred bucks to get a thousand, what's stopping you smarty pants? :biggrin:

 

Stockage, Stocker.... get to stocking and I can stock Android on the stock HP touchpad.
