I'm guessing you didn't Google 'HP Touchpad' :P Haha

The Touchpad is a tablet from HP, it's easily hackable, can run WebOS, Android & Linux. That's why I made this thread, specifically in the ARM section :)


However, that said, I've always said to people who ask me about tablets "Welp, I have an 11" MacBook Air, that's almost as small as a tablet and does much more." and I think I'm actually gunna stick with that notion.

I suppose this post was somewhat spontaneous, I wanted to see what UH thought whilst I had the idea in my head. Honestly, I think in the end it'd be a waste of money for myself, however, I reckon it would be a very cool project for anyone else looking for a tablet.
