Still looking to pick up a HP TouchPad? While it may very well be the tablet deal of the year, especially if a reasonable Android port is made available, I’m still saving my pennies for Amazon’s imminent entrant. But, being geeky, that remains subject to change… and I had signed up for HP’s email inventory alerts. Today, some mostly non-news arrived:

So we’ll keep our eyes on HP.com and their updated TouchPad FAQ. Having said that, you may also want check in with your local Best Buy. As of last week, they were still receiving shipments – a coworker spent about 6 hours in line Saturday AM and managed to walk away with one of 40 units.
