Despite the fact that HP never intended for the TouchPad to ship with Android a few devices did leak out with Google’s open source platform pre-installed. We were never given the details on why exactly this happened but it seems that HP is finally coming clean today releasing the TouchPad’s official Android kernel. This has [...]

Jon Rubinstein – a man who has seen stints at high profile companies including NeXT, Apple, Palm and finally HP.

While tablets like the iPad 2 and ASUS Transformer Prime may quickly be taking over the ultra-portable space some manufacturers are sure there is still a market for netbooks. HP is the latest to take the stage with their newly announced HP Mini 1104, pictured above. This netbook features a 10.1-inch display with 1024 x [...]

Development behind porting Android to the HP TouchPad is well underway with the CyanogenMod team already having CM7 on the market. While it’s great to have an (almost) fully functioning Android port for the TouchPad, CyanogenMod 7 is based off of Android ‘Gingerbread’ 2.3 and not a more tablet specific build like Honeycomb or Ice [...]

HP’s TouchPad may have seen virtually no hype when originally hitting the market but once it was dropped to a starting price of just $99.99 it became one of the best selling tablets on the market.

In fact, there is a [...]

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: despite being killed off by HP, the TouchPad just refuses to die. Following the announcement that HP’s webOS division would see its demise the TouchPad had its price tag cut to $99.99 for the 16GB model to sell off remaining stock. This sparked a firestorm of [...]

The story of the HP TouchPad is quite an unfortunate one. When originally announced tech enthusiasts everywhere were excited over the fact that webOS was finally making its debut on a tablet. But, due to the iPad’s commanding share of the market along with a poor user experience the TouchPad was quickly canceled a few months after [...]

Google’s Android and Apple’s iOS have largely dominated the smartphone market pretty much ever since they launched. Due to the massive amount of community support behind these platforms its been very hard for competitors to break into the market. A prime example of this would be HP’s webOS which has been critically acclaimed ever since it was [...]

When originally announced consumers anxiously awaited the HP TouchPad due to it being webOS’ first appearance on the tablet form factor. However, once it was actually released a bare app line up coupled with a poor user experience led to poor sales and disappointed hopefuls. In lieu of this HP announced that they would kill off their webOS hardware division [...]
