I got the HP TouchPad 16GB!

Managed to get the HP TouchPad 16GB at the retail price at the recent Comex 2011 with the help of a great friend. You might ask why did I get a TouchPad when news of “HP dropping WebOS and Samsung not interested in buying WebOS” are everywhere on the Internet. Got the HP TouchPad because:

1. I don’t have a Internet tablet and I wanted one for surfing at home. I almost got a Nook Color or iPad 2!
2. There is the TouchDroid project (project to port Android onto the HP TouchPad) and they are progressing well
3. The HP TouchPad is affordable! Where else can you get tablet of this hardware specification at S$119?

Okie. Let me stop at the reason why I got the HP TouchPad and continue with some more pictures of the HP TouchPad.

This is how the TouchPad is packed. Charging accessories are all neatly packed in the storage on the left. Yes, the charging adaptor is 3-pin.

The entire package includes the charging adaptor (both US 2-pin and SG 3-pin) with USB output, micro USB charging cable, user manuals and guides and the TouchPad itself.

I am still waiting for the leather case and screen protector. I am a bit unwilling to remove the TouchPad from its current plastic sleeve until the screen protector arrives. Take more picture of the HP TouchPad then!
