Uh...have you been in the iPad and iPhone threads...?




Like I said pages earlier, HP has inadvertently stumbled upon the way to get the product hype Apple has achieved without having some white dude wear a black turtle-neck sweater, jeans, and runners on stage yacking about it.

 

I've never insulted your Blackhawks/Bulls/White Sox/Aston Martin/Sony before... though I did take a few prods at you and your Bears

I'll take one perhaps from anyone, if someone is feeling charitable enough. I don't see myself high on the priority list though since I want one, but not that badly.

 

Yeah, but usually those are about Apple's keynote presentations or whatever about multiple products. And this thread reached 25 pages (55 posts/page for you noobs) in about a week



meh, I stay out of those Apple threads anyway. Too much to keep track of. I'll get all the details once the thing is actually released.

 

I could sum up iPhone 5 and iPad 3 for you if you want...

 

To me it isn't really that mucb hype for the device it self but rather the fact it is a tablet with pretty high spec for an incredible price. I was getting ready to buy a tablet in the next 6 months for sure.

The main thing I like about this is the wireless charging and the good audio processor in it that would probably make my Klipsch X10 earbuds sound amazing compared my HTC phone.

 

My 32GB from eBay shipped today.. should hopefully get this week.

 

I am sure it will definitely be a difficult decision for sure.

 

Yep, the price got me to get it, and if the device sucked, it would not be hyped. Truth it, its not perfect, but its very good. The audio is great, the web browsing experience is better then the Ipad and android, the screen is clear, its fast and just works and feels natural.

 

hrm, it appears that my 32GB from eBay got cancelled. i got my money refunded but this is what the seller said

 

I've got a Touchstone and case on order from costcentral, but I won't know for a couple of days if they'll actually ship it. Says they have a ton in-stock, but who knows.

How much was everything?

 

Got an email for another 50GB Box.net account.

 

I can't use the one I have..

 

This sucks donkey nuts!

 

Dont go crazy over it, its nice and all but not the end all

 

Well that FAQ link confirmed that I didn't order in time through SMB.

Went ahead and bought a netbook instead!

Not sure if I still need to cancel the HP order. That ship/arrival date is confusing me...

 

I agree. If you've got something similar, you aren't missing anything. For me, I didn't have anything similar and I wasn't buying an iPad.

 

I hope I get that email from HP, last week at their site it said they were out and had you enter your email address for updates, I did that. Now hopefully when I get that email I'll be in front of a computer to hop on there and get it.

 

Seriously, dude...It's a neat thing for the price. But, it doesn't do anything that you already own doesn't.

You obviously have a computer and iPhones (galore)...so, you're fine. Just wait and I'm sure you'll get one. If not, still not the end of the world. It's just a tablet...which to me, is a big glorified smartphone that can't make phone calls.

 

Might have to pick up a Pre on the cheap to see the added features.

 

And you just confirmed that the two things I want this for work great and are better than other tablets.

 

This used to be my thoughts about tablets as well and said why would I want one. Now that I do so much of my web browsing on my phone I wish I had a bigger screen.

 

Fawk. Because of this thread now I want a touchstone.

 

<----- Never Happy. Need more stuff.

 

Well, I have a tablet now...but, look...using my computer instead. And I'm thinking I'll be on my laptop if I need to be mobile.

The TouchPad is pretty much now my wife's. Got her set up on the wireless keyboard and Touchstone now. It's neat but I have the same set-up on the desk next to her except my screen is 4X larger and I also have a mouse if I decide not to use the touchscreen on the VAIO.

So again...just not sure how and why tablets are so...great?

 

Well yes I would never use it at a desk but in bed or laying on the couch absolutley.

 

Not enough to justify needing a tablet THAT badly. If I'm in bed, maybe I'll get 2-3 minutes out of using the device...at best. Couch...same thing.

 

i dont have a laptop. my desktop is glued to my desk.

and i absolutely hate surfing the net on a 3-4inch screen.

and i dont want a laptop.

at the price this was going for, it suited all my needs for what i wanted.

 

i might as well return this touchstone and case to bestbuy.

 

And frankly...the TouchPad is not that fast. Then again, I'm spoiled with my SSD and i7 processor.

 

Well, I'd suggest you to keep waiting for a bit. I think if you are patient, you'll get the TouchPad or whatever for a good price...

Just wait for the initial "hype" to die down.

 

tablet is perfect for bed, plane or car and the pooper.

 

its not a pc

 

Yumcha, if you have a "in" i could use one

 

This thing is slow as ass tonight.

 

 

I got one saying my coworkers could have free 50GB accounts. Signed up, but not sure I know how to tell if it went through or not.

 

 

overclock and it makes a big difference in speed.

 

i want it

 

how much was the touchstone? amazon has them for $65 and "free" shipping if a prime member.
