I had no idea when I started this series of posts two weeks ago, that the events of this weekend around HP and the WebOS would cause this much upheaval. At the end of my last post (Day 11) I came to the conclusion that if the price of the TouchPad dropped to below $200, it was worth buying. I had no idea of what was to come. By Saturday AM, I awoke to a bunch of emails and tweets (some from you all) alerting me to the fact that some retailers had dropped the price of the 16GB Touch

I had thought I would sit down tonight after the Home Tech Podcast was recorded and drop a few notes about the weeks usage. It turned out to be a much more interesting day than that.

Back on the laptop today and back to Windows Live Writer for the blog. When I started using the TouchPad early this morning, it gave me the update OS option which in the past 2 days I have just ignored. This morning, it would pop up literally every 2 seconds.
