I'm Down Right Fierce!
^ that may very well change given that RIM just started firesales of their Blackberry Playbook.
Friend managed to order one off of staples for $175 (-25 coupon off of the $200 16gb version) and his shipping confirmation indicated he was getting a 32 gb version.
And with Android App support coming to the Playbook/BBX in Feb 12, chances are it'll stay somewhat more relevant than WebOs.

Playbook is not a firesale per se. Its just a drop in price. Firesale indicates that its done for.

I'm almost at the point of either smashing this thing into a million pieces or wiping it and selling it for like the cost of shipping...
I hate it THAT much.

I have had zero issues with mine doing those things which is what I got it for. Heck I still haven't gone back and enabled all the original hacks after the big update that removed them.

Mine works just fine.
I think Miz more has a problem with the logo. Anyone have an Apple sticker that they can mail him to stick on the TouchPad?

My TP works great on CM and WebOS... I don't really use it, but when I do, it's a fine device for the price. CM7 alpha 3 is good.. Beta would be better. This is just developing.
I've sold my extra TPs to my best friends at cost. They like it too.
P.S. Miz... sell it, get an iPad 2 for $800.

Maybe I got a lemon, I dunno. But of you guys had even half the problems I have, I'm sure you'd complain to. So STFU.

Do I have to sign up for cloud back up? Or is it already included with webOS?
Also webOS doctor is just a way to restore the device right?
