Mine is finally shipping - TouchPad General

And now my question, as I can see CM is starting to be usable, is the Touchpad worth keeping or should I slap it on EBay and make some quick cash. Thanks in advance. Also I'm not a noob so rooting and flashing is no big deal, just wondering on how functional the Touchpad is.

Do you need a tablet? If not, then sell it away. If you do, then having both worlds (webos/CM7) is perfect for any user.

Just got a 32gb yesterday from the latest shipment from HP. I have installed cm7 and everything works well especially considering its an alpha build.
Android and Web OS...Definitely worth the investment!

Just bought a TP, should be coming in a week.

Got it for about $175, the box is opened but the device is still new. Would you guys consider this a good deal? I already have a Kindle Fire so I don't really need a tablet but the size is really what interests me. I'm excited to finally get my hands on a touchpad though, it's going to be like Christmas all over again.
As long as you put cm7 / cm9 on it, yea totally.

same as you, coming from a nook color. TBH, I hardly ever used the nook, but I love my touchpad. The screen size is so much better for pretty much everything.
Love mine too. WebOs just works and Android is pretty cool. Drop another couple bucks and score the Touchstone charger.
Did you get the 16GB or the 32GB version? If you got the 32 then $175 is a great deal. If you got the 16GB version then thats about the right price. As far as it being a good Tablet, its awesome. For one, as I'm sure you know, it can dual boot Android and webOS. webOS itself is awesome but the app catalog doesnt compare to the Play Store. You will be happy with it I'm sure.
Just scored one for 150. I woulda payed 175 tho

I paid 220 for my 32 gig + a nice poetic leather case and charger.
You got a pretty good deal. Just be sure to put cm9 on it asap!
That's a pretty good deal for a TP.
It was a 16gb tablet. It's going to have to go back though since it was described to be new but turns out it had been used before.

Is something wrong with it other than just the fact that its used?

Didn't mean to thank you but i can't unthank on mobile so keep it. Not really, theres a small chip on the corner and the mic echoes during Bluetooth calls but it's annoying having bought a product that should be new be actually used. Purple should know better than to falsely advertise something.

rather than going thru all that, why not just have him refund you like $30 or something for it being used.
You're going to go thru all the trouble of returning for a refund and getting another one and there's nothing really wrong with it.
Was trying to do get a partial back but they were offering way too low for me. But they just sent another offer after I escalated with Ebay. Well take the amount and keep the touchpad. Can't wait to get Android on this once it's officially been cleared up.

You won't be able to put it down once you get CM9 or AOKP on it. Definitely try out Arch Linux or Ubuntu too.

I spent £150 on my 16GB touchpad and I have no regrets.

Unless CM9 lets his battery die. Then he will have no choice but to put down the big paperweight it turned it into.
Just bought mine, £155 for 32gb with the touchstone. Im so looking forward to it! Missed out on the fire sale last year, but I had an Asus Transformer at the time. I'm really looking forward to having a play with the HP!!

Free Nexus Q for Preo-Orders?

Did anyone else get the email about postponing the consumer launch of the Q and giving pre-ordered devices away for free?

I just read this. I thought I was saving money when I bought mine off eBay.
Oh well. I still like it the way it is. I hope they actually do "make it even better" and not just abandon it.

So much negative feedback even from android users they are actually gonna work on it! I hope the improvements are made quick since it should be easy for them. For once an early adopter came out on top.
Will the ppl who bought on eBay get these new features? Hope they don't change the hardware at all, already got one on eBay.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
If I could pre-order now and score the free device, I'd be racing to the Play Store site.
Wishful thinking, I know. Unless someone out there is ballsy enough to try and see what happens lol.
Congrats to the early adopters who got hooked up. Good to see at least one Nexus pre-order get taken care of properly.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
I thought I was being clever for getting one off Ebay for less and cancelling my pre-order, didn't turn out that way at all.
I am pretty excited to hear that they are going to continue to enhance features, the possibilities are almost endless! GoogleTV would be a nice start though.

I'm sure that even if Google doesn't officially give us a way to add the features that some of the trusty devs on this site and others will make it happen. Gotta love the Android Community!

Chamealon launcher

It was released today for beta users and kickstarter donees. Has anyone used it yet or reviewed it? Looks really cool.
Sent from my SGH-I727 using xda premium
I have tried it but it is very laggy because it is beta yes!
But it looks really cool!
Used it for a while this evening. Definitely has some potential. In present state, it's a little laggy and lacking in widgets. Great concept though. Should be very nice in the near future.

Price at launch?
I should have my i-957 in the next few days and will report on how it works on it. I was a bit upset that they didn't release the beta for phone devices, but what can you do?
I'm quite excited to be a part of the community soon! Picking one up to use as my main communications device since i don't use more than 5 or 10 minutes a month. Hook this bad boy up to a bt headset and I'll be golden!

I believe it'll probably be $5 like the kickstarter amount needed to pay for the beta/support.

Im actually connecing through a SIP service and phone out through GVoice. I spent a fair bit of time figuring out which route to go with it.
I have my tablet now, but won't be tinkering with it until tonight.
I'll be setting up the chameleon launcher this evening.
Is it working fine on P7300 ICS ?

Price for nook tablet?

Hey guys was just wondering what a decent price is for a used great condition 16gig nook tablet. I can pick one up without original packaging for $115 is this a great, fair or bad deal for me? Let me know, thanks

I say go for it. That's more than 50% off original retail price.

K thanks guys. I know that ya'll probably have a biased opinion, likely owning one, and paying much more for this but just wanted to make sure. And how is it as a device? Any complaints?

Yes, why we didn't have your luck?
That's my only complain.
I have a 16GB NookTablet I don't use very often, I would be willing to sell. I've got the original cable, charger, and box. $100 (shipping included; US only).
I only use it at home, so it has no dings, and is in excellent condition.

Drat! Lost my nook tablet!

Fell out of my car as I was loading stuff in to leave work this evening. Went back later to see if it was still there, no joy. Curses on B&N for not having a way to deregister & wipe remotely, other than blacklisting it. Lost 2 32-gig memory cards along with it. Drat drat drat.
Aaaaaaand ... Found it! The nice guy who bought it off a bum downtown for $30 got his kids to hack into it and found my contact info. He got his $30 back plus a nice reward.

That's awesome. I love my Nook and would be crushed if I lost it so when I was reading your first post, I felt bad. But then 2 32GB cards on top of the loss. Wow.
