Re: HP WebOS TouchPad for $99!
 
I don't need a tablet, it's just that it was so cheap.. so I'll wait till the dust settles, and place bets on ebay at 100£. If too many people think this device is worth more than that, well, too bad, but I don't.

I have booted mine today and I can tell you if these were sold for the price printed or adverstised initially then HP would have gone broke solving customer games.

There are nor apps, games or utilities preloaded or through HP shop.
I tried opening one site that read regularly but it will not open, it returns unknown error after supply logon credentials.

After supplying login credentials at TMO the page stayed at redirecting but didn't logon.

I am thinking why did HP even bother about getting into this when they were not ready at all. clearly some splashed the money but was not expecting anything in return.

Browser is slow to start.

What I like s the UI, it is great. it can open multiple apps, if there were, and you can switch between them easily, closing an app is as easy as flpping it up. Pinch and zoom is ok.

The HP web storefront changed from "Out of Stock" to "Coming Soon"

http://www.shopping.hp.com/store/pro...rowse2/PDP_PDP

So folks, don't go hopping on crazy ebay overpriced deals... there are more out there and HP will be selling them.

...and the 64GB ones will be out at some point too :)
