HP TouchPad spotting on Gossip Girl, or "what happens when product placement and cancelled devices collide" 18
Fri, 30 Sep 2011 7:46 pm EDT 
Over the life of webOS we’ve spent a lot of time watching random TV shows to pick out the few frames where a Pre was flashed by a cast member. Never, ever, did we expect to be watching Gossip Girl for such product placement, and never, ever, did we expect to be surprised by the appearance of an HP TouchPad as product placement weeks after the device was cancelled. We have to keep in mind that these shows do take weeks from filming to airing, but we can’t help but laugh at HP’s best laid plans still being put into action. And the silly HP stickers they put on the TouchPad to make it more obvious that it's an HP product. Or that they had to use the Memos app because there’s no Tasks app on the TouchPad to screw with and get Serena fired. Yeah, we watched it. Stopping judging us. Another shot after the break.

SO Derek.. your secret is out! Muahaha.. eerr huh?
I like Glee. Don't be ashamed to admit it, Brittany is hilarious, lol.
Glee is a guilty pleasure of mine. I said it.
Good singing... you can't be guilty about, however a lusty hetero like myself can't be seen singing show tunes... there in-lines the shame. =0(
Excuse me! What's wrong with a hetero guy singing show-tunes? >:(

now we know what to expect on the next WebOS weekly lmao
hmm, it looks a bit smaller to me. Could it be the Go?
Nope. That's the 9.7-inch TouchPad we all know, love, and can't buy.
I don't care what the circumstances are, I've been waiting for this moment my entire life. *proud momma tear*

really doesn't fit descriptors like soft, dainty, or womanlike. My touchpad doesn't conjure up any **** for me. Am I possibly a chick magnet owning one?
The HP Touchpad is like the Christ of tablet PC's, and people continue to crucify it.
This DreamOWD character is the worst thing brought in by the firesale.
I jumped out my seat when I saw it and ran over to the tv... I was so happy it was like the feeling I got when all of the HP webOS stuff was first launching , you know the butterflies we all used to get. Then after I realized it was all an old dream.. And that HP webOS was coming to an end .. Really upsetting. I never felt so passionate about a product before. What's wrong with me?
Saw an original Pre on Chase the other day
I saw three ads for the TouchPad earlier this week on Gameday (for a Mets game) on mlb.com.
Saw the Pre on Private Practice last Thursday night. Was very surprised since it was the Season Premiere.
did anyone notice that there's also Pre2 (I guess, or 3) on Desperate Housewives last Sunday(S08E02)?
