damn i'm reading the tweets by the guy behind TouchDroid.
-he already said they will be needing beta testers "soon" -he says that the HP touchpad has better all around specs then the ipad2 -he says that he thinks android is better then iOS, so when he gets android running it we will pretty much have the ultimate tablet. and for $99. HYPEEEEE i didn't even know the specs when i bought the tablet, and now i know it has one of the best on the market. :o

Got one of the 32gb models from BB (16gb model was sold out in the area).
Anyone know if they actually have stock to ship? I'd like to purchase a case, but I'd feel silly having to return it if it turns out that the order gets canceled. (Also, best $150 9.7" Kindle purchase ever. Tell me I'm not the only person planning to use this as an e-reader/couch web browsing device.) Edit: Shit just got real. BB site says both models are sold out now. My purchase went through and all that, so I hope I get one.

if you install preware which is a thingy that lets your browse homebrew applications for the touchpad, it has KalemSoft Media Player in it for free to download.
but that same app is like $7 in the app store. idk, maybe it's homebrew and he decided to charge for it in the app store as well? just a heads up, you need it to play all your media files so grab it for free. it's a must since touchpad doesn't support many video codecs. edit: also, if anyone here knows about android, what version will we end up getting? i'm really curious to see the interface as well. if you could post up a youtube video i would greatly appreciate it.

Are people really going to try to flip these? A discontinued item, that was widely publicized as being $99? Is demand high enough to flip them?
I'm not going to, but I'm sincerely wondering if anyone bought a bunch of these, thinking it was a good investment.

That's the only way I can rationalize the idea of someone making triple their money on a discontinued, no longer supported item.
