the press release listed support for Pre and Pixi this year, it may work on the Touchpad, but don't look forward to it.
the DVR scheduler app is available: https://developer.palm.com/appredirect/?packageid=com.directv.dvrscheduler

I got in on that action as well. I have a feeling with the amount of units going out the door (something like 400,000 in the last 48 hours) there will be a short term burst in app development (and then we can move over to android when the port is completed.)
Currently pre/pixi apps should run with the built in emulator.
I've git the same thought. I will use webos but hope Android gets ported. I haven't revived mine yet. Ordered from HP.com. getting a Lil worried.

It was a huge pain in the ass but I think my orders went through. For 99 bucks just to load it with movies its worth it. It will keep the kids busy on a plane or in the car when they can't decide what to watch on the dvd player

I highly doubt anyone, especially big devs, wants to waste time now on WebOS. As a dev myself I prefer iOS, then after that WebOS, then WM7, then Android, however I won't waste time in it now...
That being said I'm trying to pick one up as well just to play with. Each time I used one though in the store it made me really appreciate my iPad 2.

While I mostly agree, I also think the strategy behind the firesale was to make WebOS more attractive to a potential buyer by expanding the installed user base. WebOS isn't dead just yet (especially with what could turn out to be a million new users in a week) - it is just on life support.
That said, this tablet will be getting android. It is only a matter of time.
Keep an eye on Walmart and HP.com as both show that new inventory will be coming soon. There is still inventory coming from the production facilities before the halt and there is inventory from retails that sent their stock back to HP because they did not want to deal with the firesale fiasco.
Yes I got mine ordered at best buy. Received 1 so far and a couple at HP.com for family

Try Best Buy in the afternoons. I did and scored 2 so far, one of each as far as GB
Here is an interesting strategy.
Discontinue your product which isn't selling. Drop it to firesale prices. Sell out as people want a $500 device for $100.
THEN make more devices.
HP to make more TouchPads - Computerworld
And still sell it at a loss??

My thought would be that they had already contracted to make X number of devices and would have to pay for them anyways (i.e. already bought parts), may as well make them and at least get some money back vs just throwing away the money.

That is what had been said, they had all the parts and the demand is there so might as well get what you can lol
