No idea, mate. - Jenny R

Talk about dying and being sent to purgatory...it would be the FriendFeed purchase all over again. - JA Castillo from Bookmarklet

Maybe Facebook could use it to make a...wait for it...FaceBook. (A FaceTab would just sound silly.) - caj needs a haircut

In an e-mail Monday, an HP spokeswoman seemed to keep the door open to supporting the machine in response to the massive interest. - JA Castillo from Bookmarklet

Exactly, Joe... - JA Castillo

Windows Mobile 6,5 :( I hate it! - the king of the interweb

none - April

Hoping that ver. 2 of the hardware will be a little spiffier, but I still love the OS the most of all those available in the mobile & tablet arena. - JA Castillo from Bookmarklet

The HP TouchPad has nearly 400 apps at launch, HP said today. Apple's iPad hit the 100,000 mark recently, according to MacStories.net. But the five Google Android Honeycomb tablets that have come out since April only had 232 apps as of June 2, according to a frequently cited statistic from AndroidCentral.com. What's up with that? - JA Castillo from Bookmarklet

I would love an iPad, but this looks niiiiiiiice. Love the way the webOS UI & functionality translates to a larger area. But is HP's (formerly Palm) OS a dead-end? - JA Castillo from Bookmarklet

I had individual email icons along the bottom of the screen and when it was docked, a Gmail icon and a general envelop icon if I had emails in both accounts. Anyone have their Pre set this way or now how to do it? - JA Castillo

Yiu can't go wrong with either. JA, while there's a learning curve from WebOS to Android it's not a steep one, and the quality apps definitely ease the pain. Good luck! - JCunwired from Android

WebOS 2.0. It's really happening, and it's coming soon. Amidst the turmoil and the headlines and the doom-dropping, Palm's been busy: WebOS 2.0 looks like it'll be better than the original in basically every way. - JA Castillo from Bookmarklet

Hope there is some good hardware that gets associated with it...soon. - JA Castillo

I was kinda hoping this would expand out to other screens. Of course, mine is caught in email to FF purgatory right now :) - Jennifer Dittrich

Oops! - Stephen Mack

tip 1 - don't buy an Evo - Jeff (Team マクダジ )

Hahahaha, I was going to sarcastically suggest that the best way would be to leave it on a Touchstone charger as long as possible, as often as possible, but... that actually was their concluding suggestion. - Andrew C (✓)

"We’ve pretty much already determined as a human race that the iPhone and iPad devices are exponentially more useful and enjoyable jailbroken. Such features that Apple is touting in iOS 4 have been around the underground scene for some time. But that’s neither here nor there. Today, lovers of the jailbreak can download and install “Pro Switcher” onto their iPads giving them the Palm Pre-style card multi-tasking system. What’s nice about it is that this method is much, much nicer to look at and use than Apple’s “new” method coming in iOS 4." - JCunwired from Bookmarklet

Well it crashed when I tried to activate it. I'll try it another time. - Rodfather

"[I]n the spirit of US Robotics acquisition of Palm back in 1995 and attempts by 3Com to integrate Palm after they merged with USR in 1997, I think there’s another bidder out there who can and should grab Palm while they can: Cisco. Here in no particular order are the reasons I think Cisco will make a bid for Palm, and why I think they just might be the highest bidder:" - Ken Sheppardson from Bookmarklet

Dude watch TWIT! I Think you got that one WRONG!!!! - Jason Craven

"PALO ALTO, Calif. & SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--HP (NYSE: HPQ) and Palm, Inc. (NASDAQ: PALM) today announced that they have entered into a definitive agreement under which HP will purchase Palm, a provider of smartphones powered by the Palm webOS mobile operating system, at a price of $5.70 per share of Palm common stock in cash or an enterprise value of approximately $1.2 billion. The transaction has been approved by the HP and Palm boards of directors." - JCunwired from Bookmarklet

On the bright side, I bet we will soon be able to print from our WebOS devices. ;) - JCunwired

"So what happened? Wasn't webOS the greatest thing since the original iPhone OS? Wasn't the Pre a great phone? How did Palm blow it so badly? I was a Pre user up until January of this past year, when the Nexus One came out. I went with Palm as far as I could, but in the end, I bailed. Here's where I think Palm went wrong, and why I left the Pre." - chrisofspades from Bookmarklet

You are so wrong...Palm will be bought by a company for the pattens they have and WEBOS will live on! - Matt Ratcliffe

"But sales disappointed, first with Sprint, then with Verizon, which offered customers Motorola’s Droid – which runs Google’s Android operating system – before Palm’s Pre and Pixi. Palm’s holiday sales were weak, and its financial guidance has been cautious, sending its stock below $4. With investors and industry pundits doubting Palm’sability to survive, Rubinstein sat down with Fortune’s Adam Lashinsky to discuss why he’s still bullish on Palm’s future. Maybe it’s muscle memory from his Apple (AAPL) days, but Rubinstein is committed to the idea that outstanding products will eventually carry the day." - JCunwired from Bookmarklet

Neatest implementation of a Touchstone I have seen has been one in a car cup-holder. Person used the USB car charger + Touchstone mounted to center console. - JA Castillo

Here was another way of doing it... http://bit.ly/1PsqvB - JA Castillo

"Update x2: several members in the comments with existing Mobile Hotspot plans note that their cost has magically dropped from $40 a month to $0. " - Rodfather from Bookmarklet

I hope this sets a trend. No more 'tethering' fee. People will want a WiFi hotspot paired with the iPad or other devices. - Rodfather

Verizon is very smart to do this on the eve of the iPad launch. It may force AT&T to do the same. - JCunwired
