so glad I got a tablet. I already hAve enough naptops that generate a ton of heat and are uncomfortable.

I use to hate the idea of tablets but even using my x60 core 2 is nowhere near effecient as using the tablet.

laptops just can't compete with the ease of use and 10hr battery.

How are you liking the Android on the Touchpad? I was thinking about putting it on my wife's Touchpad or the extra one I have if it's a stable enough build.

according to engadget they also recently released another run of touchpads to people signing up for WebOS development; possible upgrade on the horizon?

make sure to download all the .zip files (5 i think it was?). I saw another guy on campus that did the same thing and he must have used a different method because he didnt have the android market

For an Alpha build, its been really great. Honestly more of a beta or early release. They are continuing to tweak things.

Some are overclocking the 1.2gh to 1.7 and its stable. Some went to 1.9 but its not running smooth.

Looks like there will be no more T-pads left at fire sale prices. Youll have to buy one with a bundle (aka with An hp computer).

Yup. AND if you return the PC, you have to return the TP OR pay the original price tag $500+
