I presume this means that those folks who bought HP TouchPads may eventually get some sort of support other than hacking them to run Ubuntu or Android. RobYes, but not from HP. It's a shame HP decided to (pretty much) ditch WebOS - I had a Palm Pre (first series) and it was a decent OS that was let down by poor hardware. The HP Pre III looked like it was going to be a decently specced smartphone, and having played with the TouchPad it was a very system. Grant.
Yep, my ex-wife managed to get a TouchPad, I managed to have about 5 minutes to play with it and from what I saw I was actually quite impressed. I didn't think it was impressive to warrant a 400 quid price tag but at the £120 I think she paid for it I was very impressed.
I'd be interested to see if in the future it might be ported to more devices :-)
