HP TouchPad for $99/$150 for 16GB/32GB

[Drake]

Ahhh that's right. Forgot about that. The WebOS Internals group is pretty solid and I just saw an article on Engadget stating that the mutlitouch drivers are completed for the Android version of the TouchPad.

Anyone know when these are coming again? Where can you possibly find one now?

 

[Matts96HB]

I dont think its possible to find one now lol, didn't someone say a few weeks 'til the next release?

 

[90 accord]

i doubt it.. HP is so far behind on the orders they already have...

 

[TurboMirage]

i have a brand new one in box 16GB in my possession. anyone interested? i do want to make a profit though

 

[awptickes]

$99 plus a pint of my semen?

[TurboMirage]

nah. i want cash

 

[B16]

I'll give you $110 for it

 

[TurboMirage]

i could just keep it for awhile. i wont even open the box, i promise.

i need a GOOD offer. they are selling for 200+ on ebay right now. and i may even have ANOTHER on the way.

 

[B16]

Or you could just be a good buddy and sell it to me for $110

 

[TurboMirage]

I did all the hard work of finding one. Nah. I'll hold onto it for that

it keeps getting better:

Note: its been dramatic so far and this is still very beta. i suggest waiting some morez and see how it develops but its very nice progression given about 1 month timeframe.

nice work chris

 

[TurboMirage]

thanks


SWEEET its at 175 on ebay right now with a solid buyer!

HTC should have bought WebOS in the first place. I was really hoping they would have picked it up when Palm was going under.

 

[endlesszeal]

sorry B if this doesnt belong here anymore.

Anyway, things are looking up for those who scored one of these. Dual booting android is well on its way and while its still beta and its gingerbread, its still freaking awesome:

i have it on mine so far everything has been going very smoothly for me, ymmv.

also, webos has officially been annouced to be opensource and will have continue development. the only downer is the last 10k batch or so if these little bad boys cant be had for the same price unless you buy a qualifying HP desktop/notebook.

correct me if im wrong, but it seems they are only making the 32GB model. it cost them only another $23 bucks to add another 16GB and "profit" $22 from selling it $150 instead of $100 for the 16GB model.

 

[awptickes]

Yep, 2.2 runs pretty well.

It's unfortunate they didn't build any GSM devices.

 

[Matts96HB]

Was there ever a second batch of these made?
