By now you've probably heard that HP has decided to no longer support WebOS, which includes the HP TouchPad. This is a shame since WebOS is one of the more elegant and intuitive mobile device operating systems around.
<br><br>
So why should you even consider getting the HP TouchPad? For starters, they've discounted it to just <b>$99.99</b> for the 16GB model, which is bonkers because the TouchPad costs <a href="http://www.isuppli.com/Teardowns/News/Pages/HP-TouchPad-Carries-$318-Bill-of-Materials.aspx" target="_blank"><b>$306.16</b></a> to make! Check out the prices:
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.kqzyfj.com/click-268435-10916029?sid=998&afsrc=1" target="_blank"><b>HP TOUCHPAD 16GB 9.7" TABLET SALE</b></a> - <b><font color="#CE0E0E">$99.99</b></font> Shipped Free!
<li><a href="http://www.kqzyfj.com/click-268435-10916037?sid=998&afsrc=1" target="_blank"><b>HP TOUCHPAD 32GB 9.7" TABLET SALE</b></a> - <b><font color="#CE0E0E">$149.99</b></font> Shipped Free!
</ul>
So even at this crazy low price why should you consider the HP TouchPad, which is technically an unsupported product?
<ul>
<li><b>Basic Functions:</b> It will perform the basic functions like emailing, web browsing (with Flash & HTML5 support), contacts, calendars, maps, memos, text assist, VPN
data transfer, photo viewer, movies, Microsoft Exchange, etc. flawlessly.
<li><b>Apps:</b> It comes preinstalled with Skype, Facebook, Quickoffice, Google Docs, Adobe Reader, Box.net, iHeartRadio, YouTube.
<li><b>Price:</b> In a year or two when it's outlived it's usefulness, the $99 would be less than the depreciation of an Android Tablet or iPad.
<li><b>Hardware:</b> The internals are actually pretty decent with a 9.7" IPS screen (same as the iPad) and a Dual Core 1.2 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon APQ8060.
</ul>
Anyhow, I think this is a GREAT option if you want something extremely inexpensive and portable and can live without an app store!
