Whoever makes a sarcasm font for the internet will...well, they probably won't make any money off it but they will receive at least two internets from me.

Certainly it will be faster than the shitty 1 GHz A4 that is used in the original iPad. It also has FOUR TIMES as much RAM as the iPad 1.
The hardware is not bad. The software is not bad. The reason this failed is because nobody gives a shit about tablets, except for the iPad. And people for people who DO care about tablets, there are better options out there for the same price, and with far more development.
It's not the hardware or software the define Android and iOS. It's their respective app stores, and mass marketing appeal. The TouchPad had good hardware, technically better software, but without the two most important things, it was a total fail.
Microsoft is doing it the right way, trying to sway developers to make software for their platform. In fact, they just started giving out Windows Phones and dev kits to all WebOS developers.

speaking of nokia i told my friend who works for them that they won a law suit and she's like: "good, we can use the money" LOL
i ordered one for me and my friend off of stooples website, no confirmation email. I'm not very optimistic we'll be getting them. I just dont want a phantom charge on my CC LOL

On the hardware side the Snapdragon/Adreno 220 GPU in the TouchPad is better than that shitty Tegra 2, and is fairly close to the A5 in the iPad 2 (though ever so slightly behind).
So if they get Android running on the TouchPad it'll be better than any competing Tegra 2 tablet with Android.

sounds like a weasel out clause

They're not owned by the store/an entity of the company. Future Shop or any other vendor don't have the rights to sell them. They will eventually go back to HP, be repackaged and then sold later.
Demo models supplied by the manufacturer are a fixed asset to the store. Just like a light bulb or a shelf or the carpet in the store, the manufacturer supplied demo cannot be sold ever.

taken from 16GB HP TouchPad 9.7" WiFi Tablet $126 - Slickdeals.net Quote: DO NOT BUY A DEMO MODEL
Confirmed, according to HP Support Forum HP Support Forum, Precentral 1 [precentral.net], Precentral 2 [precentral.net] the demo TouchPad can be reset so that it won't install the demo software, but it still will be unable to create an account. Thanks to BluMaterial, original post below. Quote:
Quote from BluMaterial :
I can't edit the wiki (don't know why), but someone needs to add this: DO NOT buy a demo model! The demo models cannot be used to create a WebOS account, and if you can't create an account the touchpad is just a brick. This has been verified by HP tech support. There is currently no plan to enable WebOS accounts on demo models. The stores shouldn't have sold them in the first place.

unfortunately, most people are uninformed (both customers and sales associates) about these differences between demo units and regular units so I'm not surprised some people ended up walking home with a brick.
