The reviews are so-so and now that the WebOS is no longer supported, chances are you wont find more updates or software for the thing. No Android hack for it yet so you might hope one comes out but thats a bit of a guess.

What are you going to use it for?

while one might choose to mourn its passing, as I do--webOS really was something special, even though it never caught on with consumers--don't be fooled by the Crazy Eddie pricing you're seeing out there as retailers dump their remaining stock of TouchPads at fire sale prices.

Remember: The TouchPad was worthless when it was fully supported. So it's beyond worthless now, unless you don't mind being limited to basic web browsing, local video playback, and the other Dead Man Standing features that these things currently offer.

When you're a gadget and technology lover, as I am, it's hard to restrain yourself sometimes. I get that. But my advice is to look the other way now. There's a better solution in the market today--the iPad--and Amazon and Microsoft are prepping new tablet platforms that I think you'll find very interesting in the near future. This is not the time to be buying something that looks just like an iPad but offers none of the iPad's very real advantages.
