Cheap workout tablet alert: HP is discontinuing their TouchPad line, selling at $99
You might be interested in getting one to play your workouts on:
http://www.engadget.com/2011/08/19/l...n-sale-for-99/ HP is discontinuing their WebOS system and selling off the devices they have in stock, the TouchPad is one very up to date tablet and although going forward it can only be used for basic fun (web, email, multimedia, reading) as the official app store will probably close, it is still a lot of tablet for $99. I used to have a WebOS phone and it's a fantastic operating system, pity to see it discontinued but good bargains to be had!

I would expect that regarding existing hardware/software there will be technical support, warranty etc available just like for any other computer unit they officially sell.
The future of the operating system and app development is unclear, however - they don't seem to be interested in actively developing it anymore but they may license it out to other manufacturers or sell it off. They are certainly not going to manufacture any more devices so I wouldn't base any long term plans on this purchase but at this price I would buy it just for simple tasks.

My DH heard about this last night from my brother who works in software, went out this morning to get one, and they are GONE. Everywhere here, at least. People are now selling them on kijiji and Craigslist for double the amount of the sale price.
