HP Kills TouchPad and Smartphones, Puts WebOS in Hibernation

No, but that brings up another thing - it should know when I have the letters the wrong way round - but should never auto-correct on those occasions that I actually meant what I said.

I didn't realise that your long hair had turned you into a woman

Was ... until I saw the storage. I remember back in the day when putting a couple of hundred kB on a floppy was considered lots of storage but these days? 32GB? What fits on that?

About 10 days worth of MP3s.... A dozen or more films.... If you're seriously wanting more than that... Portable USB hard drives are cheap and easy to come by. Also, what Mike said.

(and I don't store in the cloud .. because I want my stuff WHEN I WANT IT).

Kids these days, always in a hurry, in my day we used acoustic couplers and were grateful!

Well, it looks like those boys as ASUS have been hard at work. They've released a few more tablets, but the one that has my interest right now is the update to the Eee Pad Transformer, called the Eee Pad Transformer Prime (hope the next model will have a shorter name).

And yes, that's a quad core underneath it's hood. Probably a bit excessive for an Android tablet, but android is naturally highly threaded so maybe it makes sense I don't know. But regardless, this thing rocks.

Glaucus,

So basically, it's a laptop with a detachable keyboard. I... ummm.. There are plenty of cheaper laptops if that's your intention.

HP killed the DEC Alpha cuz they didn't know what to do with it. I was hoping for more from WebOS but certainly expected them to muck it up.

If you can find a laptop with a similar balance of price/performance/battery life then more power to you.
