Well, my touchpad got sold and i'm hopefully jumping ship to the nexus 7. Good luck for development here and hope you all get somewhere.
pS: see ya suckerz =P
i'm hoping to sell one of my touchpads since i can still use my gf's.
nexus 7 should be here soon!
i've seen a few of the touchpad guys over in the nexus 7 forums
Sad to see you leave, I recently sold my A100 because of using the Touchpad so much much more!
I'll be getting a Nexus 7 soon but, I'll be keeping my Touchpad , I only paid £150 for it so, if I end up letting it gather dust then the missus can have it ha ha
Can I ask how much you got for it? Thinking of selling one of my three touchpads for the nexus. *ducks*

well i got the same price what i paid for ...so no profit...but more importantly didn't make a loss
Adios.
I have my TouchPad dual booting webOS and CM9. Oddly enough, I find myself using webOS almost exclusively. I think it's because of the weird aspect ratio of the display. webOS looks great, but very few ICS tablet apps look right.
I hope to eventually pick up something like an Acer Iconia Tab A700, but even then I'll keep the TouchPad around for my kids.

i see touchpads (32gb) in nyc going for $150-200 in near mint condition, which is quite a dip from what they've been at for a while.

I've got a 7" Nook Color I've rooted and run CM7 on. There is a huge difference between the 7" and the 10" TouchPad depending on what you use it for... I'd hang onto the TouchPad until you get the Nexus, you may realize you'd like to have both sizes available.

Is anyone else excited about the transformer prime releasing on dec 8th. The specs are amazing. Just wanted to get your input on this tablet as I am looking into buying it when it releases. How good do u all think development will be? Thanks for responding.
Sent my from IPad!
Yes, no question.
Love the keyboard add-on too.
I really wish they would be smart about the price and go lower than $499.99 though.
seriously considering it. had an ipad2 but sold it once the et4g came out. the transformer prime looks RIDICULOUS
I love my transformer 1 but the prime is everything I wished the TF1 was especially than it's thinner and lighter than the ipad 2, thinner but just a hair heavier than the galaxy tab 10.1. I most likely wont be able to get it for myself until january. Then I plan on buying the tablet first, selling my tf 1 and dock, then buying the dock
Nuff nuff gonna sell my hp touchpad to cover part of the prime

Yes Matty the keyboard looks so cool. I'm selling my Ipad for this beast.
Sent From My Evo Killer!!!
It does have nice specs, and it's thin and all that, but I have some reservations. First, it's expensive, especially if you get the keyboard. The quad-core(actually 5 core) Tegra chip sounds good, but until apps are written to specifically take advantage of it, the speed increase won't be as great as it could be. I would have preferred a screen with better than 1280x800, and lived with a dual-core processor.
Foo shooo... Got my pre order in from newegg. My first tablet!
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
I won't buy until it has a USB port ON THE TABLET. Bummer because it's close to perfect otherwise.
Better resolution would have been nice.
I'll wait for Samsung to release their next tablet before ever going with an Asus tablet again. I went through 4 TFs before giving up and jumping to the GT10.1. Haven't looked back since. The TF had one of the worst build quality I have seen on an electronic device.
hopefully early next year, so far its the only tablet I've had any interest in.

I have the og transformer, and really want to get the new one, but I can't really justify spending all that money on my college student budget when my og does most of the same. The transformer is an awesome tablet though. For anyone who doesn't have one already I recommend it.
It is especially great for college students who need a proper keyboard to take notes on in class and need the extra battery life so they can stay on campus all day and not worry about getting the coveted spots with outlets to study at.
Maybe if I can sell my og with keyboard for around 400 then I can upgrade.
Sent from my Galaxy S2
I'm probably going to do it. I've been holding off on a tablet for years now, and at this point I feel one such as the Prime is more than powerful enough to last me through several years of tantalizing new chipsets. I still use a 1.6ghz dual core laptop from '06. ;-)
I personally don't see the use for tablets if you a Smartphone and a laptop.... tablets don't make calls and can't do a lot of what a laptop can do but to each his/her own. I personally won't be buying one, instead I will wait for quad core phones to hit and then cough up the 500 to upgrade early from my magnificent ET.
I probably won't be picking it up as I have the original TF and dock and hardly get any use out of it to begin with. Shame because the Prime looks amazing. I think a full blown laptop would have better suited my needs.

Xoom Family on sale @ Bestbuy I think its $349
I'd love to get a tablet with Qualcomm's new chips more than anything. Likely holding out here till next yr and get one with it and enjoy lte modem built on the die of the chip and great battery life savings because of such.
If I had to get one now it'd be the prime more likely if cost didn't matter.
Though if cost didn't matter id shell out for Qualcomm's developer tablet that's supposed to.be available in the early spring finally.

I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and a Motorola Xoom
Both very very similar though i must say I like the Galaxy Tab 10.1 more. The Xoom just cam down in price since the Xoom 2 is about to be releases, so maybe u can get a bargain...
If $ is not an issue, prime. I got my wife a kindle fire and for a basic tab it's great for $199
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
I know this gets said often, but I would wait until March/April if you can. The main reason is that the iPad 3 should be released and there will probably be a few quad-core Android tablets. So even if you would be happy with a Tegra 2 tablet, those devices will drive the price down on the older models. However, if you don't care and you just want something NOW, then I would get the Prime. Biggest bang for the buck in that it costs $100 less than a comparable iPad 2 and most of the other Tegra 2 tablets out there. (I always laugh when people say it costs the same, but they compare a 32gb Prime against a 16gb whatever)
That's the tablet I'm buying, i can't wait to have my prime

Well, if you want the 7" form factor with stylus support, a Flyer at $299 isn't half bad. From what I understand the handwriting recognition is better than the Lenovo Thinkpad tablet which is more expensive and there aren't really many other games in town to support a stylus like that. So....sure, it's a valid recommendation for a specific audience.
Lately I have seen the Flyer going from $220-$250 at a lot of these Deal A Day/Slickdeal type of sites. Ebay even had a daily special last week for that price, for the Sprint Evo Tablet, no contract required.
Flyer - great for people that take lots of notes ( students?)
Xoom - This is what I have and i haven't had any issues with it. Just that its a bit on the heavy side
Galaxy Tab - Pretty much same as the xoom just that it doesn't have an expansion slot and its much lighter in weight
Prime - This thing is a beast!!
Im biased but for the price and spec's you can't beat the HP Touchpad.
Android or Webos, whichever one you want to run, plus top of the line specs for a dual core tablet. I love it.
Just get this

The Sony tablet s is great if you aren't planning on rooting it. It is by far the best dual core tablet.
Don't flame me... I actually have a valid point (to me anyway) for asking this.
The reason I am asking is because I'm pretty sure I am going to be getting one so I am curious as to which developers from the 3D will be getting one. I think the developers we have here are some of the best around and it would be awesome if some of the devs around here are getting it. I would hope that the dev community on the first quad core tablet would be awesome but ya never know.

this... tablets are the ****.. i got a touchpad...
i heard many bad things about the Prime... check over in the forum... bunch of hardware/software problems i would love to buy one but it took me 5 different evo 3d's before i found one that i could live with and it has a dead pixel
i cant wait till development starts pushing out ICS roms in the touchpad forum rather than Gingerbread.... but then again... its only 3 people that i know of doing any development for the touchpad
No. I bought into the hype of the original Transformer, and returned it right at my 14-day mark. The TouchPad suits me just fine. For the price I paid, it's an unbeatable deal.
I was going to get a Prime until I heard about all the problems. In the meantime I have a piece of crap Streak 7 to tide me over. I decided my next tablet is going to have true stylus support (like the Note/Flyer types, only 7-10" with at least a dual-core processor). That is partly because I do write out notes every day in my line of work. Probably 7" would be best so I could hold it in one hand while writing with the other...but I digress...
I have the prime and I can say it is easily the best tablet on the market
I already have mine with no issues at all. Viperboy already has a root/unroot tool available, but ICS is coming on the 12th anyways. The tablet has great battery life and is unbelievably smooth in just about everything it does.

I have an acer iconia a500 tablet. I do like it, don't get me wrong. But It's not worth more than the $300 we bought it for. It's just a gadget, plain and simple. If your going to drop $500, $600 you might as well get a laptop, but that of course is just my opinion.
I've got my Prime coming on Monday. Can't wait!

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.

I tried getting a hp many times. HP left a real sour taste in many people's mouth with how poorly they handled the fire sale, especially for the hp employees. After playing with one I'm not sad I missed out. Guess I would have to see a rooted one with a custom rom for the final verdict. Plus know what the majority of people paid for them I refuse to buy one at rediculous prices. I've seen them for $200-375, no thanks. I'm happy the way it turned out though.
