They are already out of stock on HPs website, and Best Buy's website, I'd grab one quick if you are interested.

Yea, it's a Linux based OS.

It's being discontinued, which is why these are on sale- no more updates.

There's a few on eBay, I'm really considering it.
They haven't lowered the price in Ireland for them yet, fucking trolls!

Apparently they are going to continue to ship WebOS on all new PCs they manufacture, and might licence out the OS to other mobile manufacturers.

Anyway B&N is sold out now.

Shit, I'd totally get one if I could knew for certain I could get Ubuntu running on that shit.

I've only heard disappointment regarding WebOS.

There are teams working to port Android to the device, but that will probably be worse.

Android is alright, but I'd rather a real OS made mobile as opposed to a mobile os on a bigger screen. It's the whole reason I hate iPads.

Glad I'm not an HP shareholder. Waste of millions.

The other funny thing. I know many people who say they'd never buy another HP product again, except possibly a printer. But honestly who buys printers now with all the shops making top quality prints for less than the cost of ink used in an HP inkjet.
