HP IS CRAP, so the answer is NO, we have their printer at work, it takes eight clicks to print a page in draft mode so it will not spray 100.00 of ink on the page, My Epson RX580 just takes two clicks, HP is CRAP DIE, go away

OMG, what a failure! Though it was a DOA from the very begining - who would fall for a WebOS when we have Green Robot and Shiny Apple on the shelves? Sorry, HP, but you sucked =)

If they manage to get Android running on the device (and they will), it will make a cheap Android tablet. The fact that this wasn\'t mentioned in the article hints at the Apple bias I always feel on this site.

What\'s the point of this article - the supply was stripped within hours of price-down. The question is - can you get one anywhere.

No it\'s not worth it to me...it might be worth it if the android cross over works. But...ehh seems like a crappy pad. It\'s still available near me and I\'m passing.

Absolutely it\'s worth it. regardless of your (apparently, largely emotional) perception of HP, this is a lot of contemporary hardware for a relative pittance; which can then be turned to better uses, i.e. Android, and or Ubuntu. Cheer up! ;)

I think it is worth it. One gets a deeply discounted tablet pc that works great. With HP still developing WebOS, there will be support for the OS. There will still be apps for it. I really like using my Touchpad. The UI is similar to my Palm Pre; which means I don\'t have to learn a totally new OS.

everyone focuses on the zillions of iPhone apps and says how can you compete with that.
Well 99.9% of those apps are completely crap and a waste of time.
Who uses even 8000 apps? Nobody. Most people use maybe 10.
So as long as the 10 you need are within the 8000, who cares if there are another 417000 apps you don\'t want on another platform. Do you even have time to spend 1 minute looking at each one? No.
The fact is, all these tablets sold out in hours. The market has already spoken on this, and in fact I wouldn\'t be at all surprised if this turns things around for it. Anyone know how many are now in the hands of customers? If enough, it makes it a more viable platform.
Devs want to target a platform that has support (in terms of users using it).

It is definitely worth it! I bought two of them for $149 each, then sold one on ebay for $380... So it was effectively free! It isn\'t an ipad but performs well on nearly everything I want to use it for. Photos, web browsing and twitter all perform well.

There\'s an effort underway to port recent versions of Android to the Touchpad. Unless HP has done something extremely convoluted to the device, it shouldn\'t take the hackers very long to get it working. I\'d be surprised if they needed more than a month. Also, as others have pointed out, if the few apps you most need are among the ones already available, then this is a steal at $99. And if it runs Angry Birds, then it\'s definitely worth buying for the kids so they don\'t keep stealing Dad\'s iPad to play their fave game.
