Ok I cannot watch DailyMotion videos anymore. It says I need to update the Flash plugin. Can anyone else still watch DailyMotion videos on their touchpad?

There's only one reason to go on DailyMotion. :D
I had problems, video's would load and play but with a blank box and no audio.

Works fine on cm7.

Today I noticed a massive crack had formed by the lower speaker and the rear casing is rather creaky on the left side now. (portrait) Looks like it's going to have to go back.

Ok I guess I'm not the only one with issues with Dailymotion then, as other video streaming sites like Youtube and Vimeo seem to work ok, even if my screen turns itself off after 10 minutes if I use the HTML5 player on Vimeo. This can be rather annoying if I'm trying to watch a 1hr+ lecture.

I'll have to give that CM7 a go, I'm holding off until it goes into beta, which won't be too long (I'm hoping!).

Get your clicking fingers ready! These boys are going to go fast.

Starting Sunday, December 11th at 6:00 p.m. Central time, 16GB and 32GB Touchpads will be available on HP’s ebay store. A $79 accessory bundle will also be available, which includes a case, charging dock and wireless keyboard. Look for them in the laptop section. As you would expect, there are some caveats with this deal with the main disappointment being these are refurbished TouchPads rather than the brand new models sold during the first firesale.

The refurbished 16GB and 32GB models will be available in an unannounced quantity. Sales will be limited to just two SKUs per ebay member and PayPal must be used to complete the transaction. All sales are final and the product only comes with a 90-day warranty. HP wants these things gone.

HP employees also have a chance to snag a TouchPad but they’re going to have to wait in line as well. An internal HP memo received announced the sale to employees. It states that the TouchPads will be available starting at the aforementioned 6:00 p.m. time but the public announcement will not be made until a little later, allowing employees first shot at the discontinued tablet. Guess I messed that up, eh?

In an effort to give HP employees first chance at a very limited supply of refurbished TouchPads, there will be a short delay between when the product is posted live for sale on eBay and when the general public is notified of the sale.

This might conclude the TouchPad’s sad story. The product was pulled after just two and a half months on the market. HP quickly turned around and sold most of the available inventory while promising more were on their way. This supply slowly appeared at retailers but were only available with the purchase of an HP computer. But with this sale, HP is making good on its promise and likely closing the book on the TouchPad. Its development will likely be in just the hands of the TouchPad’s capable fanbase.

Good night, sweet TouchPad.
