HP Delivers on TouchPad OTA Promise, Shocks webOS Users

History was made today as HP kept its promise to deliver an update over-the-air update for webOS 3.0 on the TouchPad.

TouchPad users everywhere rejoiced as the promised update was delivered.

Michael Sanchez, owner of a TouchPad since its release date, was "stunned beyond belief" when he saw the notification indicating the availability of webOS 3.0.2.

"You know, I've owned a Pre since the day it came out on Sprint. Switched to Verizon to get the Pre Plus, then upgraded to the Pre 2 when it came out."

"I got updates for my Sprint Pre until last summer, then they stopped. After it became clear that I wasn't getting webOS 2, I bought the Pre 2. webOS 2.1 has been out in Europe for months, but I only just got the update a few weeks ago. Naturally, I was a little skeptical about updates arriving in a timely fashion. When I saw that this most recent update had actually arrived as promised, though, I swear I cried with joy."
