The recent frenzy of passive gadget consumers and IT professionals who rushed to purchase the HP TouchPad during a massive fire sale, has opened the door for security research and planning, eEye Digital Security’s CTO Marc Maiffret said.
When word of HP’s horrible earnings announcement spread, the secondary story was that they were scrapping their tablet computer division. The 32GB models are full retail as well. “I recently watched IT administrator mailing lists buzzing with conversations about where everyone could buy an HP TouchPad - with the almost free price, now that HP has discontinued the product,” Maiffret commented on the eEye blog.
“HP is offering a tablet that you can be sure is hooking up to corporate email and accessing corporate documents. When I see people rushing to buy TouchPads and put the security of that into context, I think this is a great time to discover vulnerabilities that could compromise TouchPads.”
“It already takes companies like Microsoft and Oracle extremely long periods of time to fix vulnerabilities in their software. “Cases like this go beyond the security implications of thousands of new TouchPad devices potentially putting corporate information at risk.
Apple’s legal team surely saw the TouchPad as being every the actionable iPad ripoff that the Tab was, and yet unlike Apple’s protracted worldwide patent enforcement action against Samsung, Apple didn’t bother to lift a finger against Hewlett Packard in order to send the TouchPad packing from the market. Perhaps Apple is solely interested in using a scorched earth legal strategy against Android based tablets, after what it considers a betrayal on the part of Android OS maker Google. Contrast that with the HP TouchPad, which runs webOS, which you’ve never heard of unless you come from deep inside the geek inner circle (it was originally designed for the Palm Pre smartphone, which almost no one bought).
Apple could have filed emergency injunctions to block the TouchPad launch in advance, but as far as it known, that never happened. When HP acquired Palm, Jon Rubinstein came with it. Before that Rubinstein was an engineering exec at Apple, where he was part of an overwhelmingly successful run of products. But it was Steve Jobs who was dictating the vision for Apple’s products. Rubinstein was one of those geeks.

HP's fire sale on the TouchPad tablet computer has exhausted inventories for good in Canada , while the U.S. is still waiting for the next shipments, but the company said on Monday consumers shouldn't hold their breath.
The fire sale marked the "lowest price ever" for the tablet, with 16GB versions dropping to $99 and $149 for 32GB. Despite multiple price drops and plenty of hype, the tablet suffered from tepid reviews and a lacking software ecosystem.
"Yesterday we announced that we will focus on the future of webOS as a software platform but we will no longer be producing webOS devices," said HP's global developer relations SVP, Richard Kerris. It would also mean webOS based smartphones and tablets would never see an upgrade.
While HP still sees a future for the webOS and its associated apps, its unclear what that future will exactly be.
