32GB Touchpad

I just picked one up at Staples in Augusta, GA. As I was standing at the customer service counter the manager was on the phone with district and they confirmed the price drop. I think I bought the only 32GB in stock. They said they may have more, but maybe or maybe not.

lets get organized, we should set benchmarks, setup a paypal account, figure out how much each benchmark met is worth and get some devs on board. Fyi, got my 32gb at staples today for 150. Give em a call you might get lucky. Bestbuy where I waited for an hour today was shipping them all back to hp.

walmart didn't do price match

I bought one with full price yesterday and went to the store to do a price difference.. they would not do it.. and I spoke with manager, 1-800 support.. since it is $99 everywhere + walmart.com has $99 as well. Anyways, when I returned it since it is stupid to pay $400 for a discounted item.. the Walmart store gave me a hard time.. I didn't even open it.. and it is factory-sealed.. and they broke the seal and turned it on to check the serial number.. I meant.. come on.. anyways, they could not get through the setup screen and hold me for 15+ mins to see anyone know how to set it up.. Anyways, I don't think that I would buy any electronic items from Walmart anymore.. they were clueless to electronic items and they were so rude to say that how could this pad sell for $99 dollars and said that the price in walmart.com was an error..

Well, at least my wife is very happy about not getting one.. since I spent a lot of tiime on my 4 android tablets and chromebook everyday. One more tablet == less time for the kids and her.. hahahaha..

Best wishes to those purchased it successfully with the discounted price...

epic news for me, makes my purchase so worthwhile and cannot wait till this is out....

CyanogenMod contributor Erik Hardesty said on Twitter Saturday afternoon that he planned to work on a version of the custom Android firmware for HP's tablet. He anticipated making a build based most likely on the Android 2.3 version available through the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) rather than Android 3, also known as Honeycomb.

<3 Erik Hardesty, you WILL get money from me sir.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] remote44:
hmmm why not go for 3.0 though? Maybe someone with an android tablet with experience with both 2.3 and 3.0 can chime in what you think would be better?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DiGiTY:
The source code for Android 2.3.x (Gingerbread) is publicly available while Android 3.x (Honeycomb) is not. Its much easier to have the source code for projects like this. Plus Honeycomb is apparently not as stable as Gingerbread so the user experience will suffer and supporting a buggy OS is tiresome.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] remote44:
ahh well thanks for the info well then stability is a great flavor good stuff I am pumped this is going to be great
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] josephnero:

as anyone using the nook color knows the honeycomb mods are unstable compared to froyo and 2.3. As long as theres video on google talk and slingbox I'm happy.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] I Am Marino:
2.3 is the best the TP can have right now. See the Nook Color and see how far it has come.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DiGiTY:
I could be mistaken but most if not all custom Honeycomb ROMs developed for devices NOT originally shipped with Honeycomb are unstable or missing some relatively major features or functions.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] millerderek01:
very true. Nook was 250$ had no camera, half the speed, 1/32 the memory and look at it now. I will bet with anyone whole knows tablet dev is buying a TP for 100 there is amazing Roms in the next few months.

We'll see, but as someone who bought the first android out I can tell when a tablet will be heavily moded and this will be.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] millerderek01:
if you look at the nook, the only rom that was able to get the bluetooth working was cm7 gingerbread. Not even deeper blue honeycomb got BT working. I hope that TP does get a fully functioning honeycomb or ice cream rom. I really don't care about windows 8, microsoft is a os on its death bed. Look at windows phone 7, 3 wp7 phones came out and no one bought one.

2.3.4 on the touchpad would be awesome

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pratikworld:
A lot of people are gonna hate me for saying this. But Web OS feels much more open than Android.

It had a lot of potential. It still does. The way it connects to other different devices and all the services is just awesome.

I would love to see WebOS run on some of our Android phones. Is that possible?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roebeet:
A few thoughts -- I've gotten a bit caught up in this in the last 12 hours but I definitely missed the boat on getting a $99 special.

Bottom line...this is a risk. You might get very lucky if Android is ported, or you might be kicking yourself later. It's too early to tell and it really depends on what you plan to use the device for and what the expectations are.

WebOS, regardless of how good it is, is now effectively dead. And an OS is only as good as the applications that run on it. Still, if you only plan to use it for certain things that are "future-proof", like playing videos or reading ebooks etc, then it will still be a good device for the price. I am assuming, btw, that HP isn't going to license this to anyone, but I suppose that could happen as well (and, if it did, that's a good thing).

As for Android, I see the same problem with this device as we've seen for things like the GTablet. First problem is getting any version of Android running on it - that one will likely be cracked, I'm sure. Second problem, once Android AOSP (2.3, most likely) is running will be getting any proprietary stuff working like hardware acceleration or any device drivers, including Wifi. Again, developers could have some success with this, but if there's anything in there that has no source code available then they will definitely have a major obstacle to overcome.

What you really want to see happen is that HP releases their source code. That will open up this thing to a range of possibilities. So hopefully they will do that (I assume they have not yet, or else this thread wouldn't even exist).

Crossing my fingers that they do! And for those of you who grabbed one, I am still jealous! :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DiGiTY:
webOS is not open source like Android so its technically possible but probably very difficult to port it to Android devices.

I too agree that webOS has a more open feel. I understand the excitement to put Android on the TouchPad because of Android's app library, but what would be even better is customizing Android to mimic the great features, feel and cleverness of webOS.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DiGiTY:
Spot on! I love your contribution to the G Tablet scene but that whole experience was F'n frustration. And you're absolutely right: having the hardware drivers and source code makes a world of difference.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] remote44:
I thought i saw someone post a link to the drivers in this tread or another on friday i think

Money is a huge motivator and having a well equipped tablet for 170 is a great way to get ideas brewing here is to hoping best case scenario it works great as a dual boot to leave all options open for us
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Just to share my experience:

I ordered a 32GB tablet from HP.com friday night with the coupon code and just recieved my confirmation this morning.

It is a crazy long amount of time to wait for confirmation but I guess this means that I will get one. Havent gotten shipping info yet so i dont know when it will get here.

About Android: I applaud anyone who tries to get it working but honestly I dont think there will be anything worth writing home about any time soon. It would just be too hard.

If you really want Android on a touchpad you should try to petition HP to release the source code for the drivers (they really have no reason not to give them away; but then again they have no reason to give it to you either).

getting back to an android port, the guys at rootzwiki are making some progress. Check out their site if you want to see where their at or if you want to donate. In my opinion, I would rather the touchpad be similar to the playbook and run android apps in webos rather than moving to a gingerbread build. There are many issues with moving totally to gb like the lack of the 4 soft buttons and using soft keys is a pain like most builds on the nook. I would rather keep webos and be able to run android apps.

[General Questions and Answers] rootfan:
Too tell you the truth, I do not know what this error means, but I can tell you another rooting method that is meant for froyo operating systems. It is easier than the method you are currently attempting, and should get the job done. OK, go on Google and look up z4root. Make sure it is the newest version and download it. Install it on your phone, you may have to allow non,market apps in the settings menu. Open the app hit permanent root, wait a little while, your phone should reboot and you are officially rooted. If z4root freezes up, it is OK, this app can not brick your device because it is just a security exploit. Pull the battery and try again. I hope this works for ya.
[General Questions and Answers] Vatazhka:
The antivirus on your desktop might have deleted the actual exploit (psneuter). Try to keep your antivirus disabled while repeating all steps (starting from installing the application, since the previous install might have been corrupted by the antivirus).

Or, better, use the vulnerable recovery method.
