The question is about HP's recent announcement to discontinue its TouchPad tablet:

There is real reason to be concerned about app updates and new developments going forward.

I'm no fan of the HP TouchPad. For around the same price you can get either the Acer Iconia Tab or the Motorola Xoom running Android, which is much more popular than WebOS and has a pretty large app selection...not as large as iOS, but still pretty l

I am unsure whether to get a HP Touchpad or just wait for the Asus eee Pad 2, Amazon tablet to be released.
I don't want to get a iPad as when I tried out my cousins I felt it was just a
If i'm not mistaken HP has scrapped the touchpad so getting support and apps for it may be difficult. I would wait for the others you mentioned to come out.

I just bought this HP Pavilion laptop, every time it wakes up from sleep the touchpad doesn't seem to be actively responsive. It has that magnifying lens icon and sometimes the 2 arrows bent to form a

where can i get the 0.2.9 keen studios touchpad camera app?
Aug 21, 2011 by Blue | Posted in Laptops & Notebooks
I read a few reviews about an app called Camera by Keen Studios. It needs a lot more for it to be perfect but it's better than nothing. It isn't in the HP app catalog so I don't know where to go to download

Which laptop should I pick: Hp tx2z vs. Mac?
Jun 15, 2009 by drummergirl224 | Posted in Laptops & Notebooks
I'm looking into a laptop to buy soon and can't choose between these two.
First there is the Mac. Which most would say is the superior model. I would agree but I'm just looking for other
The "obvious" choice is the HP, at least for me. Most of that stuff about Macs isn't true. Their graphics are no better than PCs. They're not higher quality than PC (they use the EXACT same hardware). They can break. And while it might

Sometimes it is particularly difficult to find the right strategy. This shows an impressive view of the recent developments: The former PC manufacturer HP followed with the acquisition of Palm in the smartphone until recently and even then the tablet area ambitious goals. Because instead of a large platform like Android to join, the group tried to webOS to adopt its own "ecosystem" in the highly competitive market. And that’s not all: on printers, PCs and notebooks webOS should be used.

Apple’s iOS genesis began as an operating system for a phone and a digital media player. As far as the world thought back then, this meant a greatly limited mobile OS for texting, phone calls, plus a little extra to handle audio/video playback.

The Competition: HP TouchPad Review - Android Life: An Android ...
by Dan
On the first of July, HP launched their much awaited “iPad killer”, the TouchPad. The tablet was welcomed with mixed reviews and poor sales. When HP dropped the price by $100 consumers still did not budge. However, 48 days after launch, HP decided to leave the hardware business and abandoned the TouchPad. What came next was complete chaos, the TouchPad dropped to $99 for the 16GB model and $149 for the 32GB model.
The fire sale began and ended within hours. Retailers were bombarded with orders and many took more than they could handle. Thousands were left with cancellations and broken hearts. Fortunately, I was lucky enough to snag one off of Amazon and within two days it was at my doorstep. After two weeks of playing with the device I can finally separate the good from the bad.
Its weapon is the TouchPad, a 9.7-inch tablet from HP that got official back in February and will be available July 1st (if you don't manage to find it earlier ) -- $499.99 for the 16GB model, $599.99 for 32GB. That's exactly on parity with the WiFi iPad 2 and Galaxy Tab 10.1, current kings of the tablet court. Does this plus-sized Palm progeny really have what it takes to hang at that price point, or is this just a chubby pretender that's outgrown its britches? Read on to find out. Its back is black plastic, glossy with a piano-like finish. It's reminiscent of the early, similarly sheen PS3 consoles -- cool to touch and nice to look at, but an astonishingly effective fingerprint magnet. A concave...
The HP TouchPad is dead, long live the HP TouchPad! It feels very odd reviewing a product that you can’t buy any more. When you factor in though that this new tablet computer is brand new out and still in its review period, and that many people will this week be taking delivery of their shiny new gadget, it begins to make more sense.
The HP though is a quandary. While HP announced suddenly last week that they were dropping the TouchPad completely, but still supporting WebOS, the tech world went into shock. After all, the TouchPad had barely been released when it was canned, and many outlets hadn’t even taken delivery of their stock yet. As a tablet with the WebOS operating system on it though it’s had a huge amount of positive press in the last year and when the fire sales began with the tablets selling from only $99 (£89) around the world the only way to get one now will be on eBay. The entire worldwide stock of TouchPads is sold out completely.
It has been exactly 140 days since Hewlett-Packard first unveiled the TouchPad , and I think of it as the first device to emerge from a post-acquisition Palm team that has really been tested over the past few years. To be fair, it will actually be the third webOS device to launch since HP took over Palm, but the the Pre 2 was a leftover from before the deal went through and the Veer never should have been been released . But yes, the Palm team has been through a lot: from botched acquisition talks, to the brink of collapse, to resurrection through Elevation Partners’ investments, to a brilliant new web-based mobile operating system, to the announcement of the phone that would save the business from the brink of collapse, to BGR exclusively reviewing the phone that would save the business from the brink of collapse before any other site on the planet, to the launch of the phone that would save the business from the brink of collapse, to the failure of the phone that would save its business from the brink of collapse, and finally, to HP. Can a company that once lead the industry come back to regain mind share, market share and profit share following a roller coaster ride like that? Hit the break to find out if the TouchPad pushes the company’s mobile business in the right direction or if it is another dud from a company that could be dominating the market.
The HP TouchPad tablet – the world’s first, and seemingly last, webOS-powered tablet – failed to take the world by storm when it launched, but a last-minute stock clearing reduction has slashed the price to a mere £89, and triggered a flood of tablet purchases unlike anything we’ve seen before.
With HP having officially abandoned the product to concentrate on lucrative enterprise-grade software offerings, is there any point in braving the queues – or constantly refreshing the websites of retailers who have yet to discount it from its £500 launch price – and trying to get one of the few TouchPads left in the UK? We take a closer look.
