DO NOT BUY A DEMO MODEL

Confirmed, according to HP Support Forum HP Support Forum, Precentral 1 [precentral.net], Precentral 2 [precentral.net] the demo TouchPad can be reset so that it won't install the demo software, but it still will be unable to create an account. Thanks to BluMaterial, original post below.

I can't edit the wiki (don't know why), but someone needs to add this: DO NOT buy a demo model! The demo models cannot be used to create a WebOS account, and if you can't create an account the touchpad is just a brick. This has been verified by HP tech support. There is currently no plan to enable WebOS accounts on demo models. The stores shouldn't have sold them in the first place.
