I may or may not get one -- if I do, I can sell it on eBay (or keep it). If not, I expect eBay pricing to continue going up. This tablet will do everything that I need a tablet to do, so anyway you look at it, I've got a good, inexpensive tablet. And, if cyanogen completes the Android OS hack . . . well, so much the better!
Dang, I have 6 I would have sold you one for XXXX had I known you would go higher than firesale MSRP. I wasn't looking to make a mint.

I misinterpreted your comment about 3g/4g model for more than the wifi model as 'not a penny' being you didn't want to pay over firesale price at all.(and I would not blame you)


BTW there are new apps coming for touchpad daily in HP App Catalog, some are pretty good. The email still blows the socks off anything on Android paid or free.


I had even started writing a PM to you offering to sell when I read the comment about the price of the 3g/4g model.

Edit: no offers please.
