FB454UT IS the model number for the 16GB HP Touchpad. Buy with confidence.By M. Barron
FB454UT IS the model number for the 16GB HP Touchpad. Buy with confidence. No need to have worries over it being a different product. Thanks HP, Onsale and Amazon.

Well why not?By Johnny
UPDATE 08/22/2011 4:29 P.M. PST. : -From onSale's Facebook-
"Thank you for calling to inquire about the status of your HP Touchpad order. When the price decrease was announced this weekend, our websites, and the websites of all major retailers, were overwhelmed with customers placing orders for the HP Touchpad. We are now in the process of sorting thru the orders and confirming which ones we can fulfill. Rest assured that we are filling valid orders on a first-come, first-served basis as long as we have inventory. At this time, we do not know if there will be sufficient inventory to fulfill your order. We hope to be able to get back to you on the status of your order in the next 24 hours if not sooner. If you would like to cancel your order, please do so.
Thank you for your understanding and your patience as we deal with this unprecedented event.

If they limited everyone's order to 1 I'm sure they'd be able to get more through.
$100 can get you little in terms of electronics. The screen itself on this device is an estimated about $90. Even if you don't want it. 1) Sell it. 2) Easy present right here. 3) Take it apart and try to use the hardware. 1.2 ghz duo core processor, 9.7 inch screen, 1 gb ram, 16 gb sd memory, wall charger, usb cable, wi-fi chip, camera, microphone, buttons, and more.
Want to keep it? Well............

Good tablet with some modificationsBy B. Pearce
This is a review for the HP Touchpad 16GB, not for the horrible OnSale vendor.
Do not pay much more than the fire sale price for this -- if you can't find one cheap, save up for an iPad 2 or 3. WebOS does not have a lot of apps and future support is questionable. I could find no offline GPS software and no Google Earth (not even a Google Maps app, though the web version kind of works). But it is great for web surfing, email, Facebook, Twitter, and the multitasking has yet to be beaten on a mobile OS. Youtube HD videos work smoothly. Amazon cloud player works (sort of -- don't let the tablet go to sleep).
Anyway, if you have one / get one, I STRONGLY recommend Googling for "improve hp touchpad performance". Find a FREE and up-to-date guide that walks you through turning off the debug logging and explains how to enable developer mode and install Preware. Then there are a handful of patches you can get through Preware that will speed up the device further:
Ad Blocker
Muffle System Logging
Remove Dropped Packet Logging
Unthrottle Download Manager
It really is a significant speed improvement after you have turned off logging and installed these patches!
More info:
The camera is rubbish, especially in low to medium light. You really need a lot of light in order for it to give you a good frame rate.
When making skype / phone calls, the other party will hear an echo unless you turn the volume down below half or wear headphones. The microphone seems to be somewhere near the power button, and the speakers are on the left side.
Hulu has, at the time of this writing, blocked the Touchpad unless you hack the version number of Flash. As far as I know there is no automatic way to do this yet.
