Depends if the system is flashable and can have an OS installed.
Unlocked boot loader is needed.

It appears as though other forums are also staring to see the attraction of the HP touchpad price drop too. My question is also being asked on the XDA and ubuntu pages too (for their respective OS's)
As for the UK stores, it appears as though we have yet to hear the news from HP. However they ebay can be bought from £150+postage.
I am still very tempted...

Looks like I'm not the only one who thought of this today when I saw the news today 
It seems like it should be possible. Apparently some people have already been able to get Ubuntu running, and others are working on Android: http://liliputing.com/2011/08/hp-tou...ps-tablet.html

The immediate roadblock is the lack of GPU drivers for the Qualcomm chip in the system. Jump that hurdle and you might have a way forward.

Why don't we they get Cordia to run one some hardcore hardware?
Like: galaxy S2 which has an unlocked boot loader.
Galaxy = 1.26GHz dual (overclockable to 1.6ghz dual) and 1GB ram.
Or if it ever gets unlocked, the motorola Droid2. Omap4 @1gb (512 ram) and hardware KB
