When HP announced it was clearancing the HP TouchPad for $99, few anticipated the rush to acquire this tablet computer that ensured. The TouchPad runs webOS giving it a noticeably different look and feel from the Apple iPad or tablets running the Android O/S. For networking, TouchPad includes both dual-band Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, but not 3G/4G cellular (a different "HP Touchpad 4G" device was developed but never was made available as a product). But this device's most compelling feature is clearly the price. Even though it might only be useful for browsing the Web and checking email, a lot of people think $99 seems to be a fair price for that. Did you buy one?

I was prepared to buy a Touch Pad as soon as the price came down to like $200 (it is less computer than my $250 Hannspree 10″ netbook). I will never buy into the arrogance of Apple nor the spy tactics (personal information harvesting) of Google. I had some hope for HP before they had time to totally destroy the palm OS. I am quite happy with my Palm telephone of several years ago but do not have hopes of HP maintaining the Palm reliability and smooth functioning software. However, with a discontinued product that never had a decent selection of applications developed for it, the Touch Pad is essentially worthless.
