HP touchpad android only for $99

This is about cheapest android phone ever HP touchpad android only for $99,Nowadays HP Hawlet Packard,announced that will discontinue operations for The webOS devices, and it become in the $99 firesale of the HP Touchpad. Even if webOS might be dead, the tablet is a steal considering the hardware bang for the buck. The TouchPad features a 9.7 inch LED multi-touch display, dual-core 1.2 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S3 processor, 16GB or 32GB internal storage, 1.3 megapixel front-facing camera, and Beats audio.



Another reason you might want to consider the TouchPad is the likely port of Android. A group of hackers called The TouchDroid Team has already formed with the goal of building Gingerbread for the device from the Android Open Source Project (AOSP). Google does not plan to release the source code for their tablet OS (Honeycomb), so the TouchDroid Team will have to wait for the next version of Android (Ice Cream Sandwich) to be released this fall.

The work won't be easy -- there's the matter of hardware support for all the "peripherals" like sensors and wireless, file partitions need figured out, and all other manner of geeky things under the hood need tweaked to even get it booting up. But we've heard from several people who are planning to do just that, and we wish them the best of luck. Hopefully, some of the users that will be flocking to Android from webOS will have some know-how
