Yes, I'm very late to this party, but I had no possible way of getting one of the $99/149 specials before they sold out, and I didn't really need a tablet, so I wasn't about to pay an eBay or Amazon scalper twice that much. Then TR linked Woot's $225 special on a refurbished 32GB a week ago, and I was sold.
First impressions: this thing is excellent in nearly every respect and the entire pre-Meg executive staff of hp should be drug into the street and SHOT for orphaning WebOS. Some minor bugs in correctly detecting WiFi and Exchange Active Server security protocols but otherwise this is a modestly better UI experience than Android on my NexusOne, and the integrated browser is pretty good. What tickles me no end is that my MP3 collection dates way back, and hence I have every album in my CD collection ripped to bare MP3 with minimal ID3 info and a simple M3U playlist. Most devices these days can't understand an M3U playlist, but after creating a new folder over USB and then uploading about 11GB of my collection to the unit, the Touchpad's default media player sorted the whole works perfectly! The app store is surprisingly good for an abandoned project, too.
hp had about 80-90% of everything they needed to make a serious challenge against the iOS/Android duopoly, and threw it all away in a fit of pique. Oh well, at least I get a good, low-cost tablet out of it. Haven't gotten to Preware yet but that will be next.
