TouchPad Tablet Returns to Best Buy (and HP Officially Out of Stock)
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsHPTouchPad
Hewlett Packard over the weekend began sending emails to customers who signed up for updates on the TouchPad tablet to let them know the company is officially out of stock. Whatever remaining units HP had were sent off to retailers, but as far as HP's online inventory, it's been "depleted," HP said. For those of you still interested in snagging one of these fire sale tablets, Best Buy is one of the few places you'll be able to pick one up without an aftermarket price hike, albeit with a one very big caveat.
You have to purchase a new HP or Compaq laptop, desktop, or all-in-one computer. Starting on November 1 (tomorrow) at BestBuy.com and November 4 in Best Buy stores, a 32GB TouchPad tablet...

HP Testing Windows 8 on TouchPads
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsTabletsMicrosoftHPTouchPadWindows 8
Clayton Morris from FOX News reports that HP is currently doing "proof of concept work" testing the Preview Edition of Windows 8 on TouchPad tablets without webOS installed.
According to unnamed sources within HP, the company is having internal discussions about reviving the defunct webOS-based version after the supposed second fire sale wave takes place on an unspecified date. The company is also considering building an entirely new device instead with Windows 8 in mind.
The TouchPad was a brief glimmer on the market before HP pulled the device not two months after its debut. Yet despite the talk about selling off its PC division and putting webOS on hold, HP firmly stated that it had no pl...

HP TouchPad Gets a webOS Upgrade from Beyond the Grave
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsHPTouchPad
Well now isn't this something. HP's discontinued-and-firesaled TouchPad got an OTA webOS upgrade today.
WebOS 3.0.4 improves the camera app, messaging, connectivity to non-HP phones, and generally "touches up" the UI and overall performance. It also delivered a nice update to webOS's developer tools, which is encouraging for anyone hoping for a not-quite-dead-in-the-water TouchPad.
What does that mean for the TouchPad going forward and the fate of webOS as a whole? Well, not as much as you might think (or hope). Word was that HP was going to determine the fate of webOS some time this week. While we haven't heard anything just yet, Ari Jaaksi, the head of webOS and services at HP, posted abou...

Cyanogenmod releases first Android for TouchPad edition
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsTabletsHPGoogleAndroid 3.0TouchPad
Cyanogenmod, the modding community working on a port of Android for the orphaned HP TouchPad, has released its first round of software for the tablet.
As you might expect with a name like "Lower your expectations", the Android Honeycomb software takes the form of a very early, reasonably bug-ridden build that means its not really ideal for regular users.
Still, there will be some brave types among you (probably the ones who got their TouchPad for £90) that won't be put off.

You’ve heard the rumors – the sold-out WebOS HP TouchPad tablet, now running Android! But did you know that you can make such a thing happen for yourself?

HP briefly opened TouchPad sales to its employees today
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsHPTouchPad
Amazon might’ve taken the industry by surprise today as they announced their competitively priced Kindle devices, but they still pale in comparison to the killer fire sale pricing offered by the HP TouchPad. Naturally, the buzz surrounding the webOS powered tablet’s fire sales have diminished tremendously, especially when inventory is seemingly all but dried up by now.
Well, HP managed to treat its employees to some good old fashion appreciation by opening up sales through their Employee Purchase Program. In fact, they briefly started selling them at 9:00 AM PST on the dot this morning. However, by 9:01 AM PST, the whole thing came crumbling down as the demand from several thousand employees...

HP Store sells now TouchPad Accessories instead of Tablets
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsHPTouchPad
If you got lucky and scored a $99 HP TouchPad in the past weeks than HP would like to sell you some TouchPad accessories now. HP features on the HP Store now an HP TouchPad Case, HP TouchPad Wireless Keyboard and a cool HP Touchstone Charging Dock.
All three TouchPad accessories are discounted, but it is kind of funny that a charging station for a gadget costs 50% of the gadget price. The HP Store has removed the TouchPad tablet product pages yesterday. It is hard to say if this is a bad sign. HP had promised that they will sell TouchPads from a new production run on the HP Store.
A couple days ago we carried a report that HP employees get a chance to buy a $99 TouchPad on September 28 in th...

$99 HP TouchPad Final Batch: HP Employees get first Dip on September 28
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsHPTouchPad
End of August HP announced that they are making more HP TouchPads and sell them for the $99 fire sale price. As soon as HP set the price of the HP TouchPad to $99.99 it was a hard to find item. Consumers have been willing to pay over $200 in the weeks since the fire sale began. Many are no waiting for the final HP TouchPad batch that HP has announced. The reason why HP is building more TouchPads and sell them at a loss is likely heaps of component inventory in the supply chain.
HP did not reveal an exact date when the new HP TouchPad tablets would go on sale on the HP Store, but today we got a hint thanks to a leaked internal HP email. TechCrunch reports that HP is offering the $99.99 HP Tou...

HP should rethink ditching the TouchPad, says Canalys
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsHPTouchPad
HP has probably had the most wanted gadget in the industry this year - the HP TouchPad. Overpriced at launch, the 9.7-inch webOS-running slate was sharply discounted to $99 just a month and a half after launch, spurring long lines of bargain hungry customers making it all look like Black Friday hit us earlier. But HP’s decision to dump the TouchPad might have come a little too early.
"The TouchPad was overpriced at launch and did not sell. This led HP to draw a premature conclusion that the product category had failed," Canalys says in its latest research report.
The research group argues that not only HP would have been better off keeping the tablet - it would have been able to capture 10%...

HP Offers Refund to European Touchpad, Pre3 Buyers
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesTabletsHPTouchPadPre3
The HP Touchpad's troubled saga continues: the company's European arm is now offering partial refunds to anyone who brought the tablet at anything other than the bargain-basement fire sale price. The refund is for the difference between that clearance price and the price that the buyer originally paid, and the same courtesy is also being extended to buyers of the Pre3 smartphone, which never made it to the US.
Some retailers, like Best Buy in the US, have already been offering similar partial refunds to anyone who bought the Touchpad before HP pulled the plug, but others (including Amazon) have referred unhappy buyers to HP itself. This gesture should help to ameliorate any remaining ill wil...

BlackBerry PlayBook said to be destined for 'same graveyard as the HP TouchPad'
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsHPRIM BlackBerryPlayBookTouchPad
As Research In Motion prepares to report its fiscal second-quarter earnings on Thursday after the market closes, the future of the company and its next-generation products again takes center stage. While estimates for RIM’s second and third quarters are expected by some analysts to beat Wall Street’s consensus, performance of the vendor’s just-released BlackBerry 7 smartphones obviously doesn’t weigh as heavily on the minds of analysts as RIM’s future products and strategy. QNX and its ability to compete with the likes of Apple and Google will be analysts’ focus for the next several quarters, and unfortunately for RIM, the only QNX device it has launched to date is the BlackBerry PlayBook.

TouchDroid Project Dies, But Work Continues on Touchpad Android Port
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsHPTouchPad
The TouchDroid project, which was created just weeks ago in the wake of HP's Touchpad liquidation sale, has already disbanded. The project's discontinuation stems not from technical problems but because of accusations of code theft by the CyanogenMod team, which has also been working to bring Android to HP's defunct tablet.
After the TouchDroid team posted a video showing off the Touchpad running a touch-enabled install of Android 2.3, the CyanogenMod team accused TouchDroid team members of stealing code from the CyanogenMod port and passing it off as their own. In the end, the TouchDroid team gave the CyanogenMod team credit for its work, posted a dump of what they had done up to that point...

HP offering up refunds for Pre3 and TouchPads
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesTabletsHPTouchPadPre3
HP has confirmed it will be offering refunds to all customers that bought TouchPads and Pre 3 phones before the huge price drop.
Over on its official site, it has listed the refunds available for every model of its ill-fated webOS devices, with customers offered the difference between that which they paid for the device and the new low shelf tag.
It's an odd move to see HP essentially giving away money – the Pre 3 was barely on sale in the UK and the TouchPad wasn't a huge seller, so the uprising against the price drop was never likely to be a massive problem to deal with, but the computing giant is clearly looking to draw a line under this with a gesture of goodwill.
