I qualified for the HP TouchPad Loaner Program, so I should receive next week.
The loan period is 60 days and then I will have the option to purchase with a 10% discount.

Is that still only in US/Canada? And what does it take to qualify?

The free device/discount/loaner is apparently available in every region (or will be at some point), although from reading responses on the Dev forum, it looks like only US devs are getting any reply so far.

Apply (via the HP Dev site) and cross your fingers, toes and sacrifice your first born. Or something like that.

That's great :)

Discount or free TouchPad?

I haven't heard a peep from them since I wrote them the first time a couple of months ago.

It sounded promising, as they wanted to know if I could to port some of my earlier games for their new platforms (ei. the Touchpad & Veer), but like I said - not a peep since then.

-and my personal stance on that is: their loss. Some people are not too proud to beg...but I am.  :glare:
...and since I've bought an iPad 2 in the meantime I can't be "inspired" by a measly 10% discount either. ;)

Too bad. I'd love to get my hands on their Touchpad. ;)

Is it native resolution or is it a Pre 2 resolution scaled up ?
