Guess it depends on what you mean by "perfectly decent". At $499, you're going to either get something with a netbook-class processor or something which is so large and heavy that it doesn't really count as portable.
The tablets have their place in the world. Frankly, I'd pay retail for an iPad (or any of the droids) if the applications I wanted to run on it existed, or if XP could be run natively on it. Until then, I'll keep chugging along with my 10 year old Fujitsu.

However, TunerStudio on a tablet would be fanastic. I might actually pay money to have that option.
To everyone who picked up a Touchpad...congratulations, I hate you.

A TFTP server would be nice, as would a couple of apps we use at work which are XP-specific, but I'd buy a droid tablet just to run TS if it were available.

Ubuntu runs on these tablets, though unfortunately it's an ARM build, therefore no java = no TS. (and it looks slow as *****)
There is an android port in the works:touchdroid which will hopefully materialize soon.
I'll definitely be getting one of these bad boys.

Update.
Just got this email from HP.
Dear Valued Customer,
Making sure customers have a positive experience when they purchase our products is a priority for us. In some cases, limited inventory makes it challenging to fulfill all customer orders. As you signed up for updates on the HP TouchPad, we wanted you to know that we are officially out of stock. Some retailers will have some stock available, but our online inventory is depleted.
Thank you for your interest in this product and the feedback you provided. Your input plays a critical role in defining our product roadmap and will help us continue to bring innovative products to market.
Sincerely,
HP

Don't quote me on this, but I think they were so overwhelmed with orders that they had more "bought" than they actually had in stock.
They have a special notice on their site for business account members that placed and order in the past 2 days. Probably to explain the situation. For regular customers you'll probably get a refund or the guaranteed price when they get more in stock.
If I can go back in time I would have bought 10 and kept the last one for myself.

My Touchpad was delivered on Oct 18th.
