PalmCast Live is back tonight at 9 PM - TouchPad Special 18
It's time for another Tuesday night PalmCast Live with your favorite mobile tech hosts, and boy is tonight going to be a fun one. It's Episode #143, though we've been calling it the "TouchPad Special", and for a very good reason.
Tonight's crew is a bit different than what we usual have. Derek Kessler is out to take care of other commitments that he has in the world, and in his place is a man we've often made fun of in our spare time; Host of the CrackBerry community and webOS noob, Kevin Michulak is filling in as our Guest Host tonight to bring a unique perspective of the HP TouchPad. With Kevin will be regular PalmCast Co-Hosts Adam Marks and Tim Stiffler-Dean, so you can expect a lot of good talk coming with tonight's show.
If you have any questions about the HP TouchPad, or any other topics that we bring up, head to twitter and use the #palmcast hashtag so we can reel it in and go off the script with a solid reply. And don't forget that we have our live chatroom up and running on the same page where you can catch our beautiful faces on the screen.
Come back here at 9PM Eastern tonight for the internet's best live webOS podcast on the internet live:PalmCast Live!

I don't use twitter so i'll ask here.
Hi Kevin Michulak,
I'm curious to know. If you had $500 of your own money to spend on a tablet today, which one would you pick?
Thanks for not having Keith tonight. I'll be there.
Don't be mad, at Keith. He tells it like if is the not how it might be
Mind = Blown
@precentral Can you please address the situation with software availability for WebOS. My biggest concern is that TouchPad, Pre 3 and especially WebOS will end up like Sony Betamax (DOA) due to lack of market share and amount of quality software. They are better than IOS and DROID in so many ways, but... I really want WebOS to succeed!!
9PM? Is that correct. Usually the Palmcast is at 8PM.
Unfortunately our friend from Canada, Kevin, has asked that we start one hour later, and what the crazy Canadian wants, the crazy Canadian will get.
too bad for Europeans
No problem, just wanted to make sure. Besides, we don't want to mess with the crazy Canadians! :-)
Thanks for the confirmation.

FYI, I'm joining the Palmcast as well tonight. {Jonathan}
I'll be looking forward to hearing the opinions of a crack(berry)head. But for srs where est teh Derek? He's like a ghost! I bet Dieter abducted him and his holding him hostage in a fit of webOS withdrawal. Just a hunch.
We've been trying to keep those details quiet....
Derek is... safe... as far as we know.
Please post the replay soon, I won't be in til ~1 hour after it starts, but really want to hear this palmcast.
you know i went to check out a tp at bb and still this website is screwed up. you cant post from a tp but you can post form a ipad. how do you guys not see a problem with this? why cant you fix it? since may this damn problem has been going on and still nothing. im all over the forums and no reply. smh................
Your typing it wrong.
Having trouble finding out how to post a question, so I will do it here.
What the heck happened to HP's promise of a big marketing push when the Touchpad was released.
I did not see one TV ad about it all weekend (and I was home sick watching TV most of the time).
But I did see plenty of ads for the Galaxy Pad, and those ads looked good.
What happened to the big 'in-store' marketing?
I went to a Best Buy, and they just had a counter with some Touchpad on it?
They should have had an HP rep their all weekend demonstrating it just like they do for the 'Veggie Matic'.
So this is their marketing push! Nothing!
Well, I'm very disappointed in how HP has handled this launch.
BTW, I picked up a Touchpad and first, it really felt heavy at first. And then I went to launch the email app and I had to wait an awful long time for it to appear?
Not great for people walking into a store to try and see what it can do by themselves with out an HP rep there to guide you through a demonstration.
I'm a disappointed WebOS fan now!

Hp has scale they will be able to market the tp scale scale.
Yeah, but what about Apple style? Can't ignore what they do, it really works. I don't want HP to be Apple, but some of what they do really works.
