Happily1986 5th Gear August 24, 2011 Author Share August 24, 2011 (edited) Oooohhh... what a bummer.... Then again, I prefer to stick to other options which costs only slightly more but have apps/hardware support. (warranty aside) For a product that is so called discontinued, I won't expect that there'll be much spares support. So even if one wanted to have it repaired at those electronics repair shops, they might not even be able to get replacement parts. So do consider this as well. already some rumours of ports WIP. The specs of HP Touchpad doesn't exactly make it a slouch though it isn't range topping e.g. Tegra 2 or 3 lol Rumours Well, lack of 3G isn't an issue for me though from my history, maybe it is a matter of time before i much around around and solder a WWAN mini pci-e card inside I think it has to be made clear the difference between discontinuing a product and severing product support totally. You can be sure HP will be in for a class action suit the next thing if it drops total support altogether right now. It still has to honour obligatory service warranty for all Touchpads, that's one. That makes the maintenance of parts mandatory if honouring warranty is presumed. Edited August 24, 2011 by Happily1986 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happily1986 5th Gear August 24, 2011 Author Share August 24, 2011 (edited) i think you should look at Samsung galaxy Tab 10.1...also come with honeycomb.... I was an opportunistic buyer lah. I don't even consider myself to be in the market for a tablet. Just that the price makes it why not? where is it selling at $99 ? Can't find them i doubt you can find any in ready stock now. The most you can do is head to HP's Home and Office Online Store and add your email address to their EDM list so they can inform you as and when stocks come and then you dive into the madness, again.

Thedream 3rd Gear August 24, 2011 Share August 24, 2011 I wonder can the OS be changed???? If so, then it might be viable to buy it and keep your fingers crossed that someone comes up with that modification to convert it to Android. that's what some are banging on...

Solar Turbocharged August 25, 2011 Share August 25, 2011 (edited) i heard they had a sale internally to staff 3 weeks back... 32GB for $599. those bought banged their balls hard... last heard that they are going to be refunded if the complete set is returned intact talking about lousy planning and communication from a giant. this new ceo i think is nothing compared to the previous guy.

Rumours are that HP may sell the touchpad at Comex with a purchase with purchase option. So it's unlikely to get one without any purchase. Don't know if purchase of printer ink allowed.

Tinydog Clutched August 30, 2011 Share August 30, 2011 HP should just revive the bloody damn touchpad. Have been looking at a few videos of webOS and feel that it really has potential. 1. Completely new interface (Weren't IOS and Android in the same position before?) 2. true multitasking 3. Synergy (really godsend when you lose your data) 4. alot others (am no expert:D) Such a waste. But seriously 599 at launch is indeed too ambitious. Not talking about 99, probably half the price will make it a really hot item. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
