HP TouchPad 16GB rooted with Ubuntu 11.04

These tablet's are really cool. The processor is very fast and all actions on the device are really snappy. Web browsing is awesome. Pinch zoom works incredible. Other than it being an awesome stock device, it becomes more awesome when it's rooted. Which isn't an easy task. It took me about 8 hours and I'm a guru. :)

The device is Like-New. There are some smudges on the back that you can see but you can't feel. The front is in perfect condition with no scratches. I bought this about a month ago and used it rarely. There is a small, hard to notice crack on the back of the device near the micro usb port. I guess these cracks are common on these devices. You can barely see the crack in the attached photo. I drew a yellow circle around it. It was hard to take a picture of. I have no idea how it happened. I take very good care of my products. I'm very clean and neat and don't smoke.

Here's a video of this device to show you what you can do on a rooted Palm Touchpad


Here's a list of what's included and what you can do:
  • HP TouchPad with 16GB of storage
  • HP AC Charger
  • HP Micro USB cable
  • HP Cleaning Cloth
  • Run standard Web OS and Standard web os browser
  • Run all standard Web OS software from the HP app store
  • Take photos
  • Install updates
  • Run Ubuntu 11.04
  • Run Debian
  • SSH into servers
  • Install apps with apt-get
  • Run Ubuntu GUI such as LXDE
  • Run Ubuntu software such as Google Chrome
  • Connect to VNC servers on OS's such as Windows 7
This is a rare device. It's very difficult to root this device and I think you'll have a lot of fun with it. Bid today!

Thanks!

Note on shipping: I'll take very good care in packaging this device for delivery. I will wrap it in soft paper towels, use a nice thick layer of bubble wrap and use a new box.
