My TouchPad Today: That was a Fast Fifty Dollars from HP!

Back on August 8 I did a post called Not So Fast, HP! which was about the $50 app catalog credit given to assuage early adopters who missed out on the original, pre-firesale price reduction on the TouchPad.

The $50 didn't even come close to making up for the poor state of the TP at its July 1 debut.

They did a little better on that front later when they rebated the extra we paid and got our cost down to the firesale price.

But getting back to the fast $50...

In that August post I was bitching about how the $50 credit wasn't actually going to cost HP $50 and how most users would be hard-pressed to spend that amount on apps before the credit expired at the end of the year.

Well, it turns out that I've spent the fast $50. ($49.93, to be exact) Shazam!


Lets take a look at some of what I downloaded to burn through these bonus bucks..

• Picsel Smart Office
• Splashtop Remote Desktop HD
• Audiophile HD Pro
• KalemSoft Media Player
• Audubon Birds
• Tea Reader
• NomNomNom Reader

How did you burn -- or not burn -- through your $50 credit from HP?
