People probably remember the webOS HP TouchPad, especially since it recently went up for sale (however briefly).
They may also remember that the CyanogenMod team released an Android 4.0 mod for it not long ago, showing a video and everything.

The TouchPad is supposed to be dead and buried, but even now people speak about it and its strange, controversial story.

The HP TouchPad continues to live on as the strangest of 2011's paradoxes, its latest feat being that it managed to sell out completely so fast that the online shopping site eBay could have crashed from the traffic.

BestBuy is no longer the best place to buy the HP TouchPad, not with TigerDirect selling it for half the price the former demand from customers.
