HP TouchPad to launch this July 17th, OTA update arriving shortly?

The HP TouchPad seems to be rather elusive at the moment, having popped up here and there as an image or rumor, but never having a true blue release date attached to it. Well, what can be done about the situation? Either HP comes clean with the situation to reveal the exact release dates so that geeks like you and I are able to budget our monthly expenses to accommodate yet another tablet purchase in our lives, or we can always sit down and wait for whispers and rumors to create a befuddled picture.

Todd Bradley (Executive Vice President, Personal Systems Group, HP) might have done us some good by coming out to declare on a Bloomberg interview that July 1st saw the soft launch of the TouchPad, while pointing towards a very real July 17th TouchPad release date – off the record, of course.

Not only that, it must be said that Bradley also let slip that an OTA update will be arriving in around 10 days after the TouchPad is released. How's that for efficiency?
