kidamnesiac Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Why would anyone would want to buy a device with an operating system that is being discontinued? What's the big deal here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fattacus Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Why would anyone would want to buy a device with an operating system that is being discontinued? What's the big deal here? I believe it's being put on hiatus. The devices itself is being discontinued. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gizmodo puts it well: http://gizmodo.com/5833217/10-things-you-can-do-with-a-100-touchpad Doesn't matter that the OS is not going to be updated, it already does a lot of things that no other device at that price point can do.

mattisr1984 Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 my gf and i ordered one from HP the weekend they were marked down and we just now got an email this week saying it would be 6 - 8 weeks before we get ours. they made it sound like they are making another batch of touchpads just to cover existing orders. so, if you didn't already get one from somewhere - i wouldnt hold your breath.

Snaggle Von Swift Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 http://h20435.www2.hp.com/t5/The-Next-Bench-Blog/More-TouchPads-on-the-Way/ba-p/68749 yeah, there will be one last batch: Despite announcing an end to manufacturing webOS hardware, we have decided to produce one last run of TouchPads to meet unfulfilled demand. We don’t know exactly when these units will be available or how many we’ll get, and we can’t promise we’ll have enough for everyone. We do know that it will be at least a few weeks before you can purchase. See more information in the updated FAQs below. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shitty Rambo Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 I heard Samsung was bidding on WebOS. Since they already have their hardware under the microscope, they could essentially (and more than likely would) make a new platform competitor.

Shitty Rambo Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 I heard this Tested.com podcast. Either way I'm only interested in this topic because getting Android to run on this thing would be a pretty big feat hardware/software wise.
