Ok, so my Laptop - No Support; My other laptop - no support; my Printer - no support - My PDA (iPaq110) - No Support. Just last week I told myself that my next desktop is going to be from HP... Sad

HP gamble had gone south this weekend. So many had gone on a mad dash to buy 16GB tablets for $99 after applying so many codes schemes to get for such a price. 32GB was dirt cheap too. WebOS and idea that came and went this weekend. Putting Android on this tablet would require drivers and support for WiFi, Touchscreen, Video Codecs an etc. Otherwise won't be happy HP tablet owner.

It is HP's own making by the way, the hardware side of the things was good, they just couldn't optimize the OS enough to give a fulfilling experience to users. You can't sell many tablets with sluggish transitions / laggy performance etc.
