HP Touchpad for £89
http://www.dixons.co.uk/gbuk/touchpa...34901-pdt.html
£89 down from £350, it's going to be a redundant platform pretty damn quickly but for £89 it looks like a good deal for e-mail, internet, facebook etc. |

Looks like a pricing error, or such a small amount of stock that they were just clearing the shelf. Anyway, it's gone already.

Not a pricing error, a decision to dump all the stock, just wondering how much of a hit HP & Dixons are taking on this..... Slightly annoyed as I fancied playing with one and for £89 I could have given it to my gran but secure site crashed out 3 times dumping me back at the start until there was no stock  Still I can't care too much or I'd wonder down the road to PC World to see if they have any

Very tempting, but then I bought a Joggler and never bothered getting anywhere with it, so best not.

Personally wouldn't bother with it
I like the OS but the touchpad is very slow. Reports were the touchpad team installed webos onto an iPad 2 and it was apparently twice as fast.

I've heard the hardware is at least 2 years old, hence the slowness.
Apparently it could have been *something* but they just gave up.

HP took far too long to get the thing to market, goes with the phones too.
