The HP is discontinued but looking at the HUKD thread, HP are making a final batch to fulfil demand. They do state that many will still miss out.

It's not likely that you will get one but if you are lucky you may be able to find one hidden somewhere.

:- edit final run is supposedly US only

Keep checking ebuyer.com tomorrow. They'll be running one of their 3-2-1 Gone sales again. IIRC it's several products per hour, 321 of each item, at a specially reduced price. The promo is suggesting there will be several tablets amongst the offers.

Plus they're back on Quidco

...the HP 1 is that likely to be that price again ?

It's discontinued and sold out everywhere apart from Amazon marketplace (where the 16GB is selling for £250!)

I had a look but either missed it or not offering much as I didbt see much in the way of tablets

I might go for the one at Asda see what its like
can anything be done with these things ? as in changing firmware etc ?

The sale is now "live", but they're doing the offers one at a time

Captain is probably the best person to ask when it comes to tablets. However, a quick Google says that it's possible to root and that there is a 2.1 firmware hack to give you full Android Market place. Worth noting that Google have said they are not releasing the Honeycomb source code (Android 3.x) until after the release of the Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4) source code in Q4 11.
