HP TouchPad Updates

[jayant]

Can I install android on this ?

 

[Sushubh]

i think third party android developers are already working on building builds for the touchpad.

So are you buying it

 

[Sushubh]

neh. i need to save money for nexus prime.

 

[mhsabir]

It does not support 2g/3g , if I am correct, but even a wi-fi version at 9300 - its a decent buy

----------

But product price & service charges at 7129 seems to me near $149 which is the 32-GB version than the 16 Gb version at $99

so how much does a ticket to usa cost? if they can guarantee a unit right now, i think this is a safer option than trying to order one in the USA and getting it shipped to india through various services that are available today.

Ah well, I am tempted to go for it...

----------

Though they have also scared me by putting this :O

Operating System : Windows XP Professional Tablet PC Edition

Even I'm tempted to go for it but as Mhsabir mentioned above, WINDOWS XP? LOL!
I would love to rip it off and bake Android at it


Edit!: Taking the big step, ordering one for my dad... this is much better than a Chinese make anyway.
Edit2: NOT Ordering it! Dad doesn't want to take risk and doesn't require a tablet.. Guess someone else has to order and test these guys

Edit3: Oh gosh, Very tempting.. check next page of this thread for my 'did I buy it or not' status...............

Well, its a Wi-Fi only. Hence thinking about it.
