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:
