HP Touchpad App Catalog issue

Just an update to the app catalog issue. To recap, I was getting an error message in the App Catalog that said "The action could not be completed. Try again later" when I tried to get in to the app catalog. This persested for a few days (longer than conventional wisdom stated which had it pegged at 24 hours.). But now after about five days into it, the App catalog seems stable and relaible. The issue persisted for me for about four days.

I have three possible theories on what could have resolved this issue:

1) It took a while to get registed with HP (which is what the other folks mentioned saying there was a 24 hour waiting period.) The delay may be attributed to the hugely increased volume of Touchpads sold.
2) The app catalog itself was just overwhelmed with new users.
3) One other thing that happened (although I don't think this was the resolution, but I'm throwing this out there in the name of computer science) is that I ran the battery down completely and then recharged. It was after this recharge that I noticed the App Catalog working correctly.

Hopefully this will be useful to someone.

Good luck! Feel free to discuss anything you may have experienced here. I'd love to hear if anyone has a similar experience.
