Selling my other 32 GB one. I think I already have a seller. Im getting into Android a little more, the HP is nice for the money, but really not that much fun.

I would have to agree. WebOS is pretty boring. Also, I don't know if it's the OS or the hardware, but the touch response on my TouchPad is HORRIBLE. Sometimes I wanna type a response to a post and I see myself trying to hit the keys three times until it will finally register. Tried out my cousin's iPad 2 and my friend's Asus android tablet and the touch response was flawless.

Yup I did the whole shabang. Even ran a lot of those improvement scripts like ripple delete, touch sensitivity increase, logging, etc.
But it's still a vital part of my life because I love converting my class slides, lectures, and text to PDF, load them onto the Touchpad, and study as I go. No more carrying crap loads of paper and books.

Again, the Touchpad is nice for the $100, but compared to Ipad 2 its not that much fun. I been playing with my Flyer and Im starting to like Android. So I decided to sell the TP and the Flyer and pick up an updated 7 inch droid tablet, thinking about the Acer or Samsung one.

So I installed ICS CM9 on my TP and I'm loving it. It has a few bugs like Camera/Mic dont work and hardware video acceleation is still not working (No Netflix, Ustream, etc....) But other than that it works amazingly well and smooth!
