No way will HP officially port Android! Qualcomm did unofficially whilst testing the CPU (hence the leaking of a few units with Android on them), but it's actually CyanogenMod doing the Android porting work and they're mighty
close now.

Nothing came in bulk again to the UK and certainly not at the 89/115 price points. Apparently HP UK staff got to buy up a few thousand at even cheaper cost, plus DSG stores briefly put them up as a 249 quid bundle with charger/case, but that's it. Apart from eBay, no-one's now selling the TouchPad in the UK.
I'll just throw an outrageous plug for my TouchPad
blog, but I don't bother tracking sites that sell TouchPads obviously (since there's no-one left now).
