    I'm sure a lot of people have the HP TouchPad now that is went on sale for $99-$149. Feel free to discuss anything about the TouchPad here.

    Edit: I got my TouchPad! I love it :)

    I got one :)

    There are a few annoyances here and there, but overall, it's pretty cool.

    I'm on mine right now. I like it a lot. All it needs is a better screen compared to my iPad 2.

    Does anyone know any great homebrew sites/guides for it?

    It does have a high quality IPS panel already.

    As for sites precentral and webos internals. Installing their equivalent to Cydia is simple.

    I recommend using WebOS Quick Install (#2)

    The more I use it, the more I like it. It's thickness makes it feel secure and comfortable without a case.

    I don't necessarily want a Cydia type thing but just mod a few things like the ripple when you touch the screen (it's really annoying). Thanks.

    EDIT: Will this work with Touchpads?

    I downloaded Angry Birds (can't get better than free), but the whole point is that it's open source, so you can "jailbreak" without any hassle since they support it. It's also great for web browsing, email, messaging, and such.

    You can try the HP Small Business section. People had success there.
