HP touchpads on fire sale tomorrow for $99
HP is discontinuing the touchpad and will be selling off all they have tomorrow for $99. I am unsure if they will be on sale at best buy, but I know futureshop in canada has already started to sell them for $99. I have no idea what time it will start tomorrow, but I will be getting on if I can get through to order one.

HP abandoned WebOS, so there is going to be no future support for the touchpad. No updates, no apps, etc. No developers are going to create anything for it since it is now dead in the water.
Just a heads up.

Might just be wishful thinking: http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/...re-out-a-plan/
I bought the original Pre and I still love it. Palm supported the homebrew developers and the OS has so much potential. I hate that HP destroyed it. It's like politics - just because someone is more popular, doesn't mean they're the best choice.

Thanks for the tip; I got one this morning at walmart on my way in to work.
Seems pretty cool in general, but has a fatal flaw. I can not access web forums on it.
I've been googling the problem and not having much luck. Various other sites work fine. Web forums give me an unable to load message.
A minor annoyance was it didn't like my wifi password, so I had to change it on my access point. Once I changed my password, it connected fine. Just annoying to have to reconfigure all the other wifi devices because of it.
