With the HPA discounts and SAVE15HP coupon, you can get the TouchPad for $84.99.

Hmm, BestBuy Canada had it at 99, but it sold out apparently. Let's see if in the US we'll get the same deal. For that money I'd buy 2.

I saw one on show in Staples (England) and had a quick go. OMG it was so laggy it was hardly useable, and it was only running the preloaded demo software. Not good at all. If it gets cheap enough still might buy one as a photo display tool for my photography business...

Yeah, this is a shame as I was looking at a WebOS device to compliment my N900. Day'am!

Nokia gets a Canadian CEO, he moves basically kills off MeeGo and their stocks tumble. HP gets a German CEO, he basically kills off WebOS and their stocks tumble.
wtf is going on?

"The Pre 3 was released on August 17 in the United Kingdom. On 18 August, HP announced that it would be discontinuing all WebOS devices"

reading further I see
1. many websites remark (insider info) that the WebOS leads themselves hate the hardware used.
2. hp has been truly producing subquality hardware in recent history. Look at any hp laptop for instance - half the battery life, quarter the reliability, double the weight, at triple the price.
3. hp ceo announced that he is coming out of hardware business, but will continue WebOS as a platform/ licensing.

I assume other retailers will follow suit and fire-sell the touch pad.
How much is it worth? What can you do with it? I guess it will be difficult to load Android or Meego?
What about a touchpad as a $100 networked foto display?
