The guys in front of me never had heard of it. The guys behind me knew what WebOS was but wanted Ubuntu on it and heard about the Android port and wanted it primarily to read textbooks for college. Sure there were some on the fence who wanted the tablet but not for the price, but I think a majority saw a cheap tablet and jumped at the chance because it was a fantastic deal.
Also, I hope none of you listen to the thisismynext podcast, because they are being brutal on this whole HP thing and WebOS in general.
Those are some good points that I didn't consider. For me, it was more about the price. I was planning on getting a TouchPad, but I was going to wait a while for the price to drop, then the firesale happened, and I was lucky enough to get one a week or so ago through QVC.
I guess alot of people bought it for the chance to get Android on it, as for me: if I want an Android tablet, I'll buy an Android tablet.
I am listening to the TIMN podcast, and they are being brutal, but it's brutally honest. I like to be optimistic, but things are looking pretty dead for webOS.
