    Gah, the night I was asked to do a graveyard shift, this sale launches. Only hope now is F5'ing Amazon and get in on that.

    If android can get ported somehow, this will be one of the most sought-after devices...

    I just went to HP website and it seems they have them back in stock (maybe). I wasn't able to add to cart earlier in the day.

    People saying this thing is worthless are trolling. It is not an iPad or Xoom but for 150 bucks it is an awesome deal. Many apps and great for Kindle app and movie watching.

    No Netflix app as of yet though. :(

    At 150 bucks though this is a can't miss. I like webOS better than Honeycomb.

    This is a great screen also, I have not looked into it but hopefully I can upload directly from a camera, it does not have an SD card slot.

    People are just hating. Usually is the nerds that truly care about this stupid ****. I swear, with this tablet I will be doing everything I would be doing with an Android or Apple base tablet, which is sync my email, video chat, and surf the web. The app market is something that I personally don't care about too much because I hardly download anything from the app market. I'm willing to bet, most people are like this. The few apps I do not mind having are in this tablet which are Kindle, Maps, and Angry Birds :D.

    At some point in the future, Android tablets will cost $200-250 and I will get one.

    i was discussing this a few weeks ago. my dad hardly uses his computer and was saying how much people pay for stuff they don't use. i was like yeah, very few people use a computer other than internet surfing. i was like, if tablets cost $250, they would sell like hotcakes (whatever that cliche means).

    once the price comes down they're gonna give lap tops a serious run

    I don't understand why someone would want to put Honeycomb on this.

    Ditto that. Hard to beat a dual boot nook color in versatility.

    Part of the contract with retailers. Just like console makers.

    Y'all think the Pre 2 will go on clearance soon? I hope so, I'd be able to update my phone at Verizon for cheap without having to get a contract.

    You can get an Iconia for basically that now ($399 + 100 giftcard + 20% of coupon on Amazon a couple days ago).
