  It might be a nice device if you can pick one up very cheap as a distressed stock purchase...

  To me, this decision looks a lot like Nokia getting in bed with MSFT: too hurried.

  HP should have attacked the iPad from the flank, just as iPad had done this with MS. The iPad has a shockingly poor printer story, and guess what? HP has the best printer story. People need to know why they need to buy a TouchPad, and the reason is it is a tablet device that prints. HP can also feature-add photo retouching and other photo related activity to the touchpad, making it the defacto way to send and share photos. They could have licensed WebOS to the camera manufacturers, like Canon, who don't even have a software story.
