GeraldKo, you are wrong, cause for Android there is another team already. :p

I needed a new mirror in the house.

Sent from my $149 32 GB HP TouchPad.

Whatever the price of it, aren't you buying into a platform that was/is/will be poorly supported, if at all in the future. Even Walt Mosberg (and he usually is fair to generous with his assessments) said it was lacking in many areas, and couldn't recommend it.

Wait. This all sounds so very similar.

Dalingreen (developer of cyanogen mod for nook color) just wrote in twitter that he plans to make an android port for touchpad.

"Dear HP, please bring in europe your touchpads on low prices. Webos is dead for you, not for us.

just an open source fanboy"

Saw the post on engadget last night, so got up early and went to office depot, landed up getting the last one for $130.
Seems it's been a little chaotic to get one of these things, and palm probably sold more this morning than they have since it launched.
Guys i met this morning were already at their 3rd or 4th place trying to get one, said everywhere they were selling out in just minutes.

It's decent, my asus eee pad is better, but the touchpad gets the job done for browsing and angry birds.
Certainly worth $130.

Now we don't have to fight over the eee pad.
$130 well spent.

Probably the best priced tablet development board out right now. MeeGo doesn't seem to have a Tablet UI fork going right now, seems like the perfect system to design for.
