Thanks Venki.. even I ordered 6 (for my colleagues & friends) but just got one. There is rumour that HP.com will be having some stock this week.. watch for Hp and Bestbuy websites.

Whether Touchpad is worth for Original price of $400 - $500?, definitely not. But for $100, its a steal. I'll be using just for facebook, youtube and web.. and.. Angry Birds ;)

One thing I liked on WebOS/PalmOS is 'closing the window/application', just drag the window to the top like throwing the paper :)

Any other useful 100$-150$ tablet in the USA?

Regarding features too, once the base OS is set, there is nothing stopping to add extra features and only limit is hardware

As for patents, the main culprit is Apple & Msft. Anyways that will affect only devices releasing with Android and doesn't cover unofficial ports like Touchpad. Even there, Google has wise lists of selected patents portfolio form IBM and Motorola. Wait for fun in coming days :wink:

Several ! - Ipad 1 , Galaxy 1 , Dell Streak , Viewsonic, Archos !! If all you care is to watch thaliavar padam ! upclose :lol: than these are decent options

If you can spending another 100 bucks more, trying getting Acer Iconia Staples has some additional 100$ off or something.. its a good tablet.

It all depends on usage ! Anger birds v/s some serious multitasking stuff..

I wish only wish it was http://www.zdnet.com/blog/gadgetrevi...-updated/26313 this version of touch pad at 99 , 149 :cry:

I would have saved the world , by fighting climate change, world hunger, uncle lok pal.. ! wow I could have saved even humanity's sanity !
