Last year when several HP TouchPads were shipped with Google’s Android platform on board, everyone thought it’s a mistake, or a miracle.
Although HP said it had nothing to do with the Android build development and the port of the ROM on its TouchPad tablet. In the end it turned out that the company knew... |

webOS is currently moving to open source, and should breathe new life as soon as the transition to this licensing model is completed, HP believes. In fact, the company is convinced that the OS will manage to top rival platforms such as Android and iOS, and says that it already has great advantages of them. In all fa... |

Enyo 1.0 is now available for all webOS devices via Preware, courtesy of a new 3.79MB package.
Thus, the open source Enyo 1.0 app framework arrives on legacy devices as well, since there were some of them that did not receive the software in October when HP pushed it along with Bing Maps.
“Enyo 1.0 is now a... |

HP's failure to sell the webOS division makes a lot of sense now that the amount of money it wanted in exchange for it has come to light.
The IT industry is a place where various demands, ranging from pertinent to outrageous, are made every year.

Looks like the HP TouchPad may soon get a working, reasonably bug-free version of the Android operating system, much to the delight of ever so many owners.
Android being Android, there are more than a few people who know how to hack and customize it.

There sales and there are super sales, and then there's the sort of event that HP hold yesterday (December 11), when it sold TouchPad tablets for just $99 (74 Euro or so).
We already saw how the sale lasted for the entirety of several minutes before they all got ordered off.
The traffic was so big and fast, in... |

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.
At least, this much was discerned during the short-lived event on Sunday, December 11, 2011.

It was a long time coming, but HP finally took a decision in regards to the webOS operating system, the TouchPad tablet and any potential tablet plans.

You'd think an abandoned project would stay abandoned, but the HP TouchPad tablet is definitely not ordinary in that regard and will prove it on December 11.

HP's fiscal year ended on October 31, which means that, for it, the fourth quarter of 2011 was the August-October period, so, naturally, it revealed how its money situation evolved.

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.
