I got mine today for £89, IMO it was an IOS killer it's such a shame they didn't market it properly!!

Using it now, so easy to use! ... apart from not being able to log into the cliosport forum! Puts me back to the log in page!

Ignore that last message as I'm typing this from the touchpad! HP live support sorted it!

How did you do it?
Just received mine I'm impressed a 32gb is going for over £200 on eBay!
SLK 350
I managed to get two 32GB Touchpads from CPW after trying Comet, Currys, PCW, Amazon, Bestbuy... most of the sites went down and then Amazon decided to cancel all orders. Thankfully CPW pulled through for a change.
For anyone that's got one, update it to 3.0.2, then get Preware on it. There are a number of performance patches you can apply which really speed it up (felt sluggish at time prior to doing these), then on top of that install a the F15C kernel, whack Govnah on it and OC it to 1.7ghz* (ondemand)... the thing FLIES! Seriously seriously fast!

I'm hoping someone (if not HP) will buy WebOS and continue to develop it. I think the only thing that would make me want to depart from it is the lack of applications, much prefer the experience to Android from a tablet POV.
Bargain for the money spent!

This.
Never heard of it until all this kicked off.
Since they reduced it to £89 I have had a look around at reviews and stuff and it seems the closest (read as only one anywhere near
) competitor to the iPad. The reviews it got when it came out were brilliant in general.
SLK 350
The reviews were mixed. The FW it was launched with (3.0.0) suffered from a few issues - mainly performance related. Gladly, the latest version fixes much of that.
Fairly sure performance wise there's not much in it between this and the iPad 2. Then when OC'd I'd imagine this is quicker still.
The thing I'm most impressed with though are the speakers, stereo with Beats audio. Fantastic sound for the size of the thing!

I'm more than happy with this touchpad over an iPad. Ive done training on both products and I said this had potential to be an iPad killer! True multitasking beats audio and just type... What a simple idea but bloody useful when set up!
SLK 350
I'm also very very happy with it. I couldn't ever justify spending £400+ on a tablet, however, if they can make usable tabs for £200 I can see them flying off of the shelves.
Cyanogen have a working alpha of Gingerbread on the TP now, they're working on a dual boot between Android/WebOS. Interesting times!

Im enjoying it, and TBH the App catalogue isnt that bad! It had the ones i would usualy turn my laptop on for, facebook, flickr, news etc etc so it's ideal.
Im busy putting some films on it now, see what the screen quality is like for movies!

Ive just made mine run at 1.7ghz and it flies now, the sound from this thing is pretty good too! just using it to stream soundcloud is great!
Think we need a dedicated 'decent' app list!

Grrr, I saw one go for £150 on Amazon the other day. Wish I'd bought it now.

They're only making more because they already have the components.
Selling them for a massive loss isn't going to do them any good! Lol. Lets say it sells better than the iPad. So they can lose $100+ on each one? That's a f**k ton of money if they're selling 20million units.
They have no other stream of revenue to hit the ground running. If they sold 20m, then the devs would appear and the app store would be massive but that takes time and by then, they've already lost so much money that taking a 30% cut on some apps just isn't going to get them the money they need.
Amazons tablet will sell like hot cakes because it'll be cheap but they have the infrastructure to back that cheap price up when they're probably the biggest online retailer and sell all the content you could want for your new tablet.

This is SO going to lead to a relaunch
agree. Completely brilliant bit of marketing
Do we know their costs per unit on these? Clearly their marketing budget was next to f**k all
I wouldn't be surprised if they haven't lost a great deal (ignoring any R&D costs, anyway)
About $300 according to the teardowns. They admitted to losing more than $100 when they sold them for $99. But there was never exact figures.
Apple buying millions of screens and half the worlds flash memory can't get them that cheap. The bill of materials for an iPad is over $300 too. They're just expensive things to produce.
The Amazon one is supposedly going to be cheaper because they know they'll make it back. Same reason the Kindles are cheap.

I recommend downloading the SNES application... I've just got some classics on my touchpad now! Mario, bomberman, zool, coolspot, mario kart etc etc! Awesome!!

Wouldn't worry there's plenty of virtual stupidity to go through on here....

lmao! Agreed
You are 100% spot on. That is what is happening. They are hoping to offload the whole hardware side of the touchpad business by Q2 next year. There will be another sell off before that and maybe the touchpad will be back but it won't be made by HP.
