. This seven inch little brother to the TouchPad was slated for release in "the coming months" after the original TouchPad's release. Despite the smaller size the TouchPad Go would have had many benefits to hold over its larger sibling's head like a soft touch back, a rear facing camera, and a better pixel density due to its smaller size. Add all that in together and combine it with the simple fact that a seven inch tablet makes for better portability and it's hard to imagine anyone who wouldn't want one. Unfortunately dear old Mr. Apotheker killed all hopes of anyone ever getting their hands on this awesome little tablet when he chose to . This decision banished the TouchPad Go to the land of  "misfit webOS devices" along with the , , and many other great devices most of us will never see. 

Despite the TouchPad Go's premature demise a few of these neat little tablets have managed to make their way into the hands of a few lucky webOS community members. One of these community members happens to be a dear friend of webOS Nation by the name of Rich Dunbar. Many of you you may be quite familiar with him from Twitter (), the webOS Nation forums, or you may have even downloaded his app . If you have had the pleasure of having a conversation with him you have probably gathered the fact that he is a very generous man that has helped many of people in the webOS community in many different ways. This time he's raffling off his beloved (and extremely rare) TouchPad Go (with a Touchstone charging dock)  and donating all the proceeds to charity!

      SEOUL, July 9, 2021 — LG Electronics (LG) announces the start of its 10-day online charity auction STRONGER TOGETHER to benefit Sur les bancs de l’école, a French organization that supports families of children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). The auction highlights LG SIGNATURE’s partnership with the Amundi Evian Championship 2021, one of the most renowned major tournaments in women’s golf played at the Evian Resort Golf Club in France.
      In addition to benefiting a worthy cause, the auction will provide fans the opportunity to interact virtually with two of the biggest names in women’s golf. All proceeds from the auction will be donated to Sur les bancs de l’école, which was founded in 2008 and currently supports 200 families daily. The pandemic and studying at home affected autistic students especially hard and LG is proud to support the work of the organization as it helps affected families begin the long journey back to normal life.
      Running until July 18 at 14:59 (GMT), the STRONGER TOGETHER charity auction will feature top female golfers Ko Jin-young and Park Sung-hyun of South Korea, who LG has sponsored since 2020 and 2016, respectively. Golf fans can participate in the auction and bid on exclusive items, highlighted by the Amundi Evian Championship Package featuring LG SIGNATURE OLED R, the world’s only rollable TV complete with custom engraving option and a fabric speaker covering available in four exclusive colors, and three tickets to the Pro-Am event during next year’s the Amundi Evian Championship. LG SIGNATURE Refrigerator and LG SIGNATURE Wine Cellar will also be auctioned off during the 10-day event.
      Also available for bid are items donated by defending champion Ko who is donating her Epic Flash Driver used in 2020 after the pandemic hiatus while Park is donating autographed shirts and gloves. All auction items will be framed, authenticated and ready for winners to display as enviable additions to any golf aficionado’s collection.
      “Like the very best in women’s golf, LG SIGNATURE products are known for delivering unparalleled performance,” said Lee Jeong-seok, head of LG Electronics’ Global Marketing Center. “Run in partnership with the Amundi Evian Championship, the STRONGER TOGETHER charity auction will bring fans closer to some of the game’s brightest stars but more importantly, help support the important work of Sur les bancs de l’école.”

      With the release of webOS OSE, I'm wondering if it's able to run on the HP Touchpad. I wonder if someone will attempt to port it over.  
      Might give me a reason to pull out the old Touchpad, currently have an older Android system on it and haven't messed with it in over a year.

      Did you buy a Firesale HP Touchpad? Share the details...
      Thankfully, I was able to get one myself, but it took a few tries and ordering it on the HP Business site. By the time I checked all the retailer, they were gone! Snagged a 16GB for $99! I hope you grabbed one also...

      webOS friend and LuneOS project aficionado, , recently embarked on an unlocking adventure.  His HP TouchPad 4G gave up the ghost and passed away quietly.  So he did what anyone would do and got a new one!  That’s what you’d do if your TouchPad died too, right?
      His TouchPad was special though.  In fact, you probably read his article right here on pivotCE about with an unlocked Sierra 7710 card in it.
      Why not just crack open the new one and pop in the 7710 and throw away that crappy “3.5G” Ericcson card?  Well, the TouchPad pretty much breaks when you open it.  The little clips that keep the back connected weren’t designed to be opened once engaged.
      After Herrie contacted, paid for, and was reimbursed by several unlocking services over the course of about a month he finally stumbled upon which was able to get him an unlock code.  The catch?  It took 2 weeks but it only cost him about $10.50 USD.  Not bad!
      Need your TouchPad 4G unlocked?  Head over to www.unlockfusion.com and I’m certain they can help you.  Or crack yours open and pop in a Sierra 7710 (EU) or a Sierra 7700 (NA).
