You're joking, right?
You do know that HP has dropped the touchpad and dropped webOS?
They were fire selling them for $99  :icon_eek:

Whats to joke?  at 99 bucks its a DEAL!  They've already been hacked to accept Android, so you have that as an option down the road.  For 100 bucks you get a VERY capable tablet...beats the 600 you'll pay for an icrap or any other 500+ dollar tablet...Id never pay 500+ for a tablet, I personally dont get their purpose, but for 100 bucks why not; web, video, audio, pucs, games, etc ... I tried to get one but they were sold out everywhere :(

know whats funny. prices are back upto pre firesale pricing again. around 400 or so. hteyre effing stupid. im wanting to find one and put macs OS on it lol. or get an ipad cheap and put windows CE on it lol. want to get my hands on something portable. because in near future will be spending alot of time prolly on dialysis etc so having somehting to entertain myself would be epic. i tried to get one of these. had hte money rounded up for a 16gb unit, but they went away FAST. ahh well lol. que sera lol
