very interesting. Wonder if this is why they're using an older version of android. Also they do have the kindle app which means they have done work with HP and the os... Very interesting...

The lack of applause during the announcements was deafening.
Seconded. I'm looking at my camera right now doing a skype call with video. As for the 3G, I wish. But the chart puts into clear perspective that those $100 buck Touchpads were a solid gold buy. As for the Fire, I can totally see Bezos pulling this off. Good on him, and hopefully good for us with more downward…
Very nicely done. Still, whenever I think of space and Travolta, I see this:
Start with the app thing. You don't need 40 million of them, just a core set of apps that does what the typical person needs, and the ability for people to write new code and earn money off their work. (ahem, Amazon, cough!)
I'm loving my Touchstone. How thoughtful that the Touchpad goes into exhibition mode when I put it there to charge. HP truly messed up. As for this device - $200 bucks? I'd wait for the next version of the ipad - as I'm sure Apple will introduce this feature.
Is that where Moammar Gadhafi is hiding!?!
Didn't this happen years ago with HiFidelity?
The bar has been set. Now we need someone doing the drop while rooting Android on an HP Touchpad.
OMG! Sarah Palin might have some competition for 2012!!! I bet they read the same newspapers too!
For those actually interested in learning the facts about this story - head on over to Spiegel for all the details. Then if you wish, contrast this post with the actual article.
Sorry, did Fox News write this article? It seems heavy on opinion and light on details. Thanks for the bubblegum, now please pass the dinner, and please, just the facts.
This is fantastic! Buy these guys at iFixit a bottle of good scotch for setting this up.
Kids are smart. People shouldn't shortchange them. They see our world unfiltered by the years of crap we experience. Thats not to say who is right/wrong - but let's not use age this way. They'll surprise you with their developing insight.
Its a good deal. A hundred dollar email device that lets you update your blog, use as an e-reader, surf the web with flash, watch movies and use as a slightly expensive digital photo frame. Why did they sell out in Canada in 18 hours? Or buy a color Nook for $150 more and root it. Your call.
Just be glad that the Girl who Kicked the Hornets Nest didn't turn out to be the Musical it was originally slated to be, starring Barbara Streisand.
Honestly, it sounds like too many cooks in the kitchen, and most of them are use to boiling hotdogs.
I'd say I was smart to call this before the 3DS launch - when Kotaku posted it's MSRP, but frankly you'd have to be an idiot to think it would sell at their original price. Its new price point will make a big difference. Nin got greedy.
Solid tutorial. Fun family project, if your last name was Dahmer.
