    Local stores might have some this weekend. Don't know if it'll be the same price though.

    HP is dropping the hardware division which includes tablet and pc. However they are planning to update webos and most probably license the os to other hardware manufactures.

    I think for $99 this is a great deal. I got one as well. I think the webos is good but it will lag behind in apps. I think we will likely see android on this hp touchpad hardware.

    I went out to my local walmart they had 2 of the 32gb I bought one at the full price and will go back today to get the price adjusted. Crazy how quickly people are flocking to get these now glad I went yesterday before news hit a lot of sites.

    Best buy I read is not going to sell their units but will return all their units to HP

    They were originally over $500, but HP is pulling out of the market and cutting their losses. Webos (lol) is its OS, not android or apples software.

    Is it true that webos has more tablet apps than honeycomb?

    My best guess is they wanna keep the name out there til they sell out, or they might've prepaid all their TV slot time before they knew they were dropping out of the market.

    Posting from my touchpad. Bought two 32 GB models at office depot this morning. After playing with for a while I'm loving. Awesome OS.
