HP Touchpad
« on: August 16, 2011, 03:27:24 pm »
Does anybody have any experience using the new HP Touchpad...I am looking for it to operate not only MC but someday (hopefully sooner vs later) to control devices in a home network environment.

There may be a few deals around soon on the HP Touchpad.  HP just announced they would exit the tablet and phone businesses.

There was a report yesterday that Best Buy has had trouble selling them:

I managed to pick up a Touchpad for the $99 price  ;D

At this price point, people are scooping them up as fast as possible, and the demand for apps and accessories is very strong right now.

Any chance of putting a webOS Touchpad app out?  It can even be a homebrew app.  I'd love to use a slimmed down version of MC16 on this thing.  The native music app is adequate at best.

There could be 350,000 to 500,000 Touchpads in people's hands soon.  That's a good sized audience to introduce MC to.

HP webOS is dead. But $99 is cheap.  ;)

Agreed.  If anything, development on webOS has been growing: http://www.precentral.net/touchpad-breaks-1000-app-milestone

Don't count webOS out.  Regardless if HP keeps and licenses or sells it, it seems to have the goods.
