also getting mine from the small business site. I ordered it last night and haven't gotten a confirmation yet. I checked my bank account and it was charged. It took just as long as ordering it with a slammed server to see if it was actually posted under my account with small business, but it was there.

In fact I accidentally ordered two. I'm checking with my brothers if they want the other. If they don't, I try and offer here before I cancel the second order.
[TouchPad Development] jnad32:
Just got mine thru the small business site says order being processed but no email yet
[TouchPad Development] jzh797s:
Mine did not. If you check on the order status page, it may tell you. Mine says it was not and to call a 1-800 #. I ended up getting one from BB last night. I had to go to two stores before someone would actually sell me one.

[TouchPad Development] phobos512:

go make a list (pdadb,google) of all the other devices that use the same qualcomm AP8060 - and gather up roms from them. or just make the list.

this will be key! the hardware design isn't all that special with the touchpad.
[TouchPad Development] snoshreddax21:
Not sure if it helps at all or if developers already know about this, but opensource.palm.com has the source code for webOS. Just thought I'd throw that out there for anyone who is ACTUALLY interested in the initial topic of the post instead of where you can still get a touchpad for $99.

Android on touchpad development progress thread

Until a dedicated subforum is created, please use this thread to report news about the touchdroid project or other information related to modification of the HP touchpad for Android. Comments about where you purchased your touchpad, how much you paid for it, how eager you are to use Android on your new device, and how much you intend to contribute should be made elsewhere. As of now, trsohmers on twitter, rootzwiki, and the touchdroid wiki are reliable sources.

I just got a 32gb model. I don't know **** about programming these things but I'm in to help. Where can I go to get information on how to get started here? I don't care about the RootWikiz website, tell those guys to come to XDA.

Also, I just got a GitHub account set up and am following the project there. I know Honeycomb and WebOS 3.0 are both online, so can we ditch all this bull**** about getting one and get to the meat of making this happen?
[TouchPad Development] JeramyEggs:
Check Amazon, just picked one up for my daughter for xmas. It was easy. Not like best buy, horrible experience from them for 2 days.

Read yesterday someones already working on a gingerbread port but as for honeycomb, you guys will have to wait for Icecream Sandwich because google wont release the honeycomb source so it wouldnt be possible. I dont know about you guys but id definetly shell out $99 and wait a few months for ICS to be ported over.

look for the deals folks they're there, good device for the price (current obviously) and write strongly worded emails to hp for being dumb.

good luck to devs.

Count me in on the donation to whoever ports Android over to the Touchpad.
[TouchPad Development] tbaker077:
Sounds promising. I would love to alpha/beta test a dual boot.

A bit of a related question. My Droid 2 has 8gb of built in space for apps, I don't think you can use it for multimedia(same goes for the Droid Incredible). I take it that if we get Android on this, that the 16gb or 32gb we would be able to use it for storage, not just app storage?

[TouchPad Development] bonif1de:
okay lets clear some thing up

hey guys so I got two touchpads, currently typing this with one. I read some things on here that I wanted to clear up because I work in the computer/tablet section of bestbuy. Best buy was supposed to send back all the touchpads two days ago, but at 7pm est, we got an email saying that we can sell them' granted most of our inventory went to our employees who had first dibs. Then we held some for family members and friends (even tho it was a first come first basis). It was one per customer and by opening today (sunday) we had a line of 100 people outside and it ended up having about 20 of each modek . We sold out in 10 minutes, I got one for my mom the night before and I saved her one today. Some stores are not selling them to the public and only offering it to employees/ sending it back to HP, or getting rid of inventory. I decided to keep both and hopefully get andriod on this.I would be happy to answer any best buy questions to the best of my knowledge!

HP have gone mad or what, How many tablets they manufactured? Don't you guys think this is some kind of advertisement or marketing stunt?.....everyone is getting some.,........... as per news and posts here, more and more are cumming... (why Motorola Didn't do it same thing, insted they maintained the price....)And why Hp wanna get rid of thing so soon...

I hope it is type of marketing or some kind of conspiracy ...to make people use to WebOS...

Anyway wanna see Android 3.1 on this thingy .... :eek::p

[TouchPad Development] Apeman42:
Greetings, Programs!

It seems like not a lot of people are understanding that a port is currently in progress. We currently have a development thread on Rootzwiki and have multiple IRC channels, and a website

IRC

General development talk: #touchdroid on irc.freenode.net

General touchpad talk: #touchpad on irc.freenode.net

Website

We're going to be working on AOSP/CM7 Gingerbread, followed by possible work on Honeycomb...we are not completely sure a gingerbread port is possible because Google has not released the source code for it.

I am known as Apeman42 here, but as trsohmers everywhere else (IRC and Rootzwiki)... you can find the teams contact information over at the development thread as well. We hope to have a release for everyone soon!

[TouchPad Development] pukemon:
You catch all the posts about devs getting touchpads to dev on? I love how android is open source and many devs tweak and service requests and do this as hobby, free and donations, but sometimes requests are ridiculous. Not getting android on this, but making sure that there are people out there that have a touchpad that can develop. Passing the hat around to get software is useless unless the hardware is there. But indirectly related to this thread is what people request. Some of the requests are for apps/services so they don't have to USE their phone. I.e. some chic that has done the custom apn for free tethering swaps phones a lot for travel. She wants her phones to automatically select the apns for her when she swaps sims. Here, everybody wants android, but they buy a touchpad. And then want android. I got money. But where's the hardware. May sound silly or picky, but that entitlement mentality is everywhere now. The smartphone is making people dumber. Some apple iphone users are a great example of this. Not all, so don't get panties in a wad. The marketing from apple made a lot of users marketing tools. Remember the app fad? When many iphone users were shoving their phones in each other's faces and saying look what my PHONE can do? And some of us had been doing that for years minus the touch interface that apple does get credit for revolutionizing. But the sad part is many "smartphone" users are dumber than their phone. Look at some of the requests sometimes. And i don't know if that's a good thing or bad thing yet. Buying a touchpad/webos to get android for $99 and a donation. It's almost like reverse panhandling. You know i really wonder where things are going these days. What are people doing with their phones? Or are their phones doing them in? People have money to throw around but less and less desire.

I voided my warranty.

Figured I'd throw a +1 in there too. Picked up the 32 GB tonight for 149 (before coupon...after adding a ream of paper and a coupon it was 133). I'm sure WebOS will be useable enough, but I'd absolutely donate 25-50 bucks for a solid android port. ****, for a good port I'd donate at least 100...I mean if I got hte thing for 130 bucks, it's certainly worth at least another hundred to keep it current. Especially if honeycomb can be ported.

[TouchPad Development] long2know:
I went ahead and ordered the 32GB model as well. $137 shipped is just too cheap to pass up in the event that Android gets ported.
[TouchPad Development] Apeman42:
OK guys, I will say it again... We are not sure if it is even possible to get Honeycomb working at full speed. Honeycomb was built for Tegra 2 processors, plus Google has not released the source code. Because Ice Cream Sandwich is supposedly just around the corner, ICS will be much better and much easier to port (As long as Google releases the source code).

Follow @HPTouchdroid on twitter for the latest news, and check out the Rootzwiki thread for active development.

[TouchPad Development] Anaminus:

[TouchPad Development] japer85:

the hardware is similar to the mobile phones with android on it, so it shouldnt be too hard
[TouchPad Development] Apeman42:
Thanks for Trolling! I suggest you troll another thread or another forum entirely, though.
[TouchPad Development] tbaker077:
Was it really built for Tegra 2, because I thought some versions of the latest Galaxy Tab 10.1 or 8.9 was using the dual core Samsung cpu, which I want to say is called Exynos, but I could be wrong? Or am I mistaken here?
[TouchPad Development] pukemon:
i think android users have become robots much like iphone users are marketing tools. isn't honeycomb closed source? and if, emphasis on if, wouldn't ics be a better candidate for the touchpad because ics is not supposed to have buttons? i think many people think coding is easy magic, put money on the table and the roms will come. it's not that simple. there are hardware issues, drivers, bootloader issues, possibly rom onboard, and recovery has to be made, oh and did i mention drivers? where are these drivers going to come from if hp doesn't release the source code? how much do you have on it now? and how many more jobs are going to be lost?

[TouchPad Development] Darmokk:
Same here, just got one.

As for porting Android over, and the issues regarding the source code being unreleased, they both should be cleared up shortly.

As Android is based on linux by LAW the source code has to be released. Google themselves are tardy by not releasing the source code but litigation (or merely the threat of) should force them to release it soon or face consequences.
[TouchPad Development] Apeman42:
The Samsung Galaxy S II devices in Europe use a Samsung Exynos processor, but no variation of the Galaxy Tab has a Exynos processor.

As part of the development team, we are facing expected issues, but we should be able to overcome them. If you read my two most recent posts (#1 #2) then you would see that I explain the OS issues we face. If you look at the Nook Color with CM7, there is a package called Tablet Tweaks which adds honeycomb esque on screen buttons to Gingerbread. The Touchdroid team has multiple members of the team who brought Android and then CM7 to the Nook.

I'm not a patent expert or a GPL compliance officer, but even if non-compliance doesn't directly 'force' them to share the code, the point is if push came to shove, there is a possibility that they would have to release it.
