Yeah Hulu works. Occasionally it'll glitch on an advertisement for some people but I havent had a problem. Video quality is on par with an iPad.
With a decent pair of headphones, the sound quality is excellent and better than its competition. The Beats audio is more than just a name.

It's a good web browser for sure, good for media and it has a Kindle app. Can't go wrong for under $150. My wife loves the Facebook app and it can keep tabs on up to 16 email accounts.

I can't argue with with you on that. I enjoyed WebOS whe I used it , but with HP exiting the market = no more firmware upgrades. Android is the only platform that could keep this tablet interesting.

if anyone needs a cheap case for a rather cheap tablet, I just ordered this. Decent reviews.

And WebOS needs more apps.
Hewlett-Packard Co. (HPQ) plans to keep supporting and updating the WebOS software it acquired in last year’s $1.2 billion purchase of Palm Inc., Senior Vice President Stephen DeWitt said in an interview.
“The WebOS is not dead,” said DeWitt, who took charge of WebOS last month. “We’re going to continue to evolve it, update and support it. We stand by it.”

yea i got in on the datavis ebay sale. so i paid 125 for mine.
if i ordered it via HP, it wouldve been 99+ 8.75% tax + 6 bux CA recycling fee and + 10 for shipping.
so i wouldve only saved like 2 bux.
