Unless you've got a Google Nexus 7, you're going to be waiting a while for the official release of Jelly Bean for your tablet. Which is why it's a little surprising—and dare we say funny—that it's already popped up on HP's aborted TouchPad

The HP TouchPad, the Michael Myers-like tablet that just won't die, just popped up on Woot for a pretty cheapish $220. Two benji's and a jacksonw will score you the 32GB version. That's a little more expensive than it was during the great firesale of 2011 but with webOS becoming open source, maybe there's value in it!

The time's come, cheapasses: HP's $99 TouchPad firesale is about to make its triumphant return. Oh my god I've waited so long for this.

I hate bundles. Don't make me buy things I don't want. Especially that dumb stupid Best Buy bundle that shackled a TouchPad to an HP computer. Ugh. Now TigerDirect is liquidating their TouchPads under slightly less annoying bundle terms. Ugh.

HP's Computer Division has been spared the guillotine but WebOS may not be as lucky. The Guardian is reporting today that HP may soon kill off the OS designed for the short-lived and now-dead TouchPad tablet. Well, that's a $1.2 billion investment down the tubes.

So HP's finally let loose another load of firesale 32GB TouchPads for $149, which will be available at Best Buy Starting November 1st. That would be totally great and welcome news except for one thing: You've got to buy a HP computer to get the sale price. Come on.

HP tablets are dead! No they aren't! Yes they are! Either way, Fox claims they're at least on some sort of life support, and being tested with Windows 8.

Well now isn't this something. HP's discontinued-and-firesaled TouchPad got an OTA webOS upgrade today.

The HP Touchpad just jumped up a few notches on the tablet scale now that the first public release of CyanogenMod is available for download.

HP may meet on Tuesday to discuss the future of webOS, according to a rumor from AppleInsider. The hardware giant could decide to sell the webOS unit or spin it off into a separate entity.
