    That isn't true at all, actually. You as an individual can download and install Google's Play Services yourself if you'd like. What you can't do however is sell a device commercially that includes Google's Play Services unless you follow their terms.

    You have an original OG Droid and you are still complaining about it now? The phone is ancient and should have been replaced a long time ago. That being said, it is also completely unlocked and one of the easiest phones to upgrade the OS on. Check out Cyanogen Mod or Project Elite for a whole new experience on the phone and repurpose it as a useful WiFi based media device.

  3. I'm gonna try to buy one. by rickb928 · · Score: 3, Insightful · on HP Reviving the $99 Touch Pad On December 11th

    For obvious reasons:

    - The TP is rooted, sort of, so the OS is no longer an issue. If Cyanogen is working on it, do not bet against them. You will lose. And there is another team working on this.

    - For the money, even stock, it's cool.

    - Even a 90-day warranty should give you time to find out if it's a lemon.

    - There will be a support community out there.

    Now HP is right to toss these refurbs out for several reasons:

    - Most of these came back from people too lazy or stupid to follow instructions and resolve their issue.

    - If HP can't repair defective units, by whatever means, then all you TP owners have tablets that are just as dead as Elvis, it's only a matter of time. I'm trusting these were either repaired or reloaded.

    - No point in keeping backstock of refurbs beyond the warranty needs.

    - HP could be deciding that the end of the TP debacle is the day they have NO TPs available. Period. And the sooner the better.

    So stop yer whinin' and get in line.

    Oh, and all you crybabies out there with your sad tales of trying to buy one back when - I've heard all the complaints. All par for the course. Bad things happen during these closeouts, and resellers are often either morons or thieves. Caveat Emptor. Same as it ever was.

    It would be nice not to jump through all of these hoops, and maybe soon we won't have to. But for now, this is as good as it gets for your Droid X. I'm partial to MIUI with ADW Launcher, it's a very polished ROM.
