DailyDi Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Anyone else been folowing the HP Touchpad firesale madness? Finally managed to get one today and learned I have another coming Friday. Great tablet actually! Link to comment
Guest dorkster Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 I had a tablet, wasn't thrilled. I kind of want one for the price (my galaxy tab was 200 with contract). 99 sounds good, and their working on a port for android. P.S I sent you an e-mail a few days ago, haven't heard back.

DailyDi Posted September 14, 2011 Author Share Posted September 14, 2011 I'm sticking with the WEBos for now, especially on rumors its going to be bought and devolved more as an alternative to iOS and Android. It's a really nice system and not just for the price. I like the OS a lot after inital playtime. Don't see an email, please resend or PM here Link to comment
Mischa Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 HAHA i gotta make sure Curi sees this, I'm considering buying a T-Pad if Samsung buys webOS, I had a pre for over a year and I LOVED it the interface is epic, much better than Android, only thing Android has going for it is the portfolio of apps.

DailyDi Posted September 14, 2011 Author Share Posted September 14, 2011 I have an Iipad and had a Dell Streak (Android) I really like webOS better than the other two, so hoping Samsung or somebody does take it over. And the charging dock for this thing is awesome! No fighting with plugs, just lay it down and it charges. Link to comment
beallucanb Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 I bought a tablet couldn't stand how small everything was, so I sent it back, I don't know how people can stand using a phone for the net that is smaller yet. Link to comment

curiositykilledthecat Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Samsung has already confirmed they're not buying webos. samsung is actually working on their own o/s. Due to google uying motorla, the other manufacturers are a tad nervous. Link to comment
curiositykilledthecat Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 You can't buy the bottom end phone fror android and expect it to be anything other than complete crap. there's a reason each carrier is giving 'said phone' away. 1 Link to comment
Mischa Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Android runs decently on my Replenish, plus it gives my Green side something to assauge it. I just wish it has a better interface Link to comment
curiositykilledthecat Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 yes the stock ui each manufacturer sticks on android usually sucks. I just downloaded the gb update to ym d2g and it is ugly as sin. Link to comment
hidden Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 What's a tablet?! Sent from my Windows Laptop 1 Link to comment
puffy_bottom Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 i got the "6-8 weeks" email a couple of weeks ago. hopefully it'll be here in a month! Link to comment
DailyDi Posted September 18, 2011 Author Share Posted September 18, 2011 i got the "6-8 weeks" email a couple of weeks ago. hopefully it'll be here in a month! Frpm HP? I'm told if you order wasn't canceled the next day you will definitely get one, even if its from that last run they are making. Link to comment
BabyLexi Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 I owned one for about a week and I ultimately returned it. I found it buggy even after the initial software update. Different Apps kept crashing on me. Link to comment
WetDad Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 I am so stoked on Android, and disappointed in HP. Seen them screw up too many good acquisitions... I would love to have a touchpad keyboard for my Galaxy though. Sent from my Desire HD Link to comment
puffy_bottom Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Frpm HP? I'm told if you order wasn't canceled the next day you will definitely get one, even if its from that last run they are making. Yes, this order wasn't canceled the next day, and eventually the status turned to the 6-8 weeks thing. I've been watching the Android port very closely, but since my wife's Touchpad has already arrived, I wouldn't mind just sticking it out in the WebOS world. It'd be kind of like owning an Amiga.

puffy_bottom Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Got one. So far so good. I wish it had attracted a developer community but then it wouldn't have been $150. Dual-boot Android ports are coming. Link to comment
