    No. HP is getting out of the touchpad business, so everyone was clearing them out. I figured it was worth a shot for $150.

    I don't think it compares with th e iPad (what does), but it'll do everythin I need. There are some folks working on an Abdroid based OPS.

    It compares...relatively favorably for the old price. With the new price, it's a steal. I'd grab one I I could find one. For $150 you get a similar stat sheet to a $600+ iPad

    Plus an iPad doesn't have "FLASH". Biggest down fall for me in my design field.

    Re: HP Touchpad

    I picked one up from Best Buy in Baton Rouge last Sunday. I got there at 9:30 and they were handing out numbers. I got the next to last one out of about 40 people there. Best Buy supposedly received 270,000 but had only sold 25,000 in six weeks. I guess most were still in Best Buy's wherehouses. I think the WebOS is closer to Windows than Android is. Most web pages give me a full windows view and not a mobile one. The Snapdragon processor is supposed to be faster on video playback than the Tegra in most Androids. A Kindle runs $140 (the one without advertising) so this is a gadget that does more at a more than fair price. I also have a Motorola Xoom and the TouchPad is a bit worse in the battery department. There's a good chance that more of these will pop up at this huge discount. Keep checking at hp.com or cnet.com. I'd say it's a great buy.

    The biggest iPad deal breakers for me would be the lack of USB port and lack of SD card slot.

    Here's a twitter page that should give a head's up as to when more TouchPads will be available.
