I actually don't mind WebOS sure its not as snappy as IOS or Android, but the card multi-tasking on the home screen is something that Apple and Google should look into developing or even buying the patent.

HP Status
I received my 16GB from HP today.

I tried calling HP for the price adjustment and the automated message said the following things:
1. All orders created before 4 AM Central Time, August 22 will be adjusted automatically
2. All orders before this time will get a confirmation within 24 - 72 hours
3. All orders placed after this time will be cancelled
4. Out of stock of all Touchpads

She said that the likely cutoff for the order time would be Saturday morning. Therefore, any order placed after this time will likely be canceled. As of now, she had received no instruction from the head office that subsequent orders will be placed on backorder; they will just be canceled
doesn't this contradict itself?

aug 22 is monday
orders were cancelled after saturday. saturday = 20th?

im confused! i ordered one on sunday morning but have yet to receive a secondary email stating whether or not my order has been shipped or cancelled.

Fo those with a TouchPad, getting Preware and overclocking to 1.5Ghz is a MUST.

Makes the thing go from Laggy to iPad 2-like speeds..

I would choose transformer. More expandability. More connectivity options.

Cases are stupid anyway, especially when the TouchPad is already so heavy. I'd get one of these instead.
