As reported by Engadget, HP going to spin-off PC business just like IBM sold the ThinkPad lineup to Lenovo and quit selling notebook PC anymore. Wonder who will be the buyer for Presario, Pavilion, Envy trademark ...

Any guess?

HP also ditch the webOS, the core OS for tablet TouchPad...

awwww...no more??? i'm too late
the spec looks good for trying Android on
any other place still got stock?

yeah, rumours has it one dude already has honeycomb up and running on it.

friends are stalking amazon for the price to update :P

but does amazon have shipment to MY?

doesn't mind if it is now ready to run honeycomb or not
the spec seems similar to a smartphone running android
so there is possibility there if put effort into in

Like most economical tablet ever if Honeycomb is ported over!

I think they do ship over here but the shipping cost is murder.

that i'm not sure about. i'm not even sure if hp site delivers outside us :P

not too sure what you mean with the latter bit of your comment since afaik honeycomb would be android's tablet os, so.. why.. would you want say gingerbread to work on it instead?

my confusion is genuine, i assure you as i dont really follow android's dev.



i didn't even look at the specs, tbh. all that was running in my head was shiny. eh less than 100usd? ordered lol ._x

Staples might be going for a price drop

the cheapest in Amazon now is $265.99 + $6.49 shipping
i would say not bad for the shipping if it's to asia

but could you bare the fact that you're paying 180usd more than others?

even those that bought the touchpads at the "normal" prices are getting refunds iirc

yeah not going to get it till amazon drop it down to $100

my intention to get it is for playing with the hardware and trying OS port

check what i said 4 posts above. i still dont get your comment :P

Apparently a dual core 1.2GHz Snapdragon with Adreno 220 graphics.

Impressive specs for the price.

Any suggestion how to get this babe in malaysia? kinda of like it at this price..
How about calling HP Sunday morning or Monday?

Regards.

it is not even arriving Malaysia HP , i believe there are no stock in Malaysia.
