Everyone likes a good deal. Once HP decided to completely shut down WebOS, they also slashed prices, and are refunding customers who call HP's customer service. They're going like hotcakes.
Sunday morning at Best Buy brick and mortar stores in the US (they're sold out in Canada) they will be selling off their stock at $99.99 (16GB version / $149.99 for the 32GB version), too, first come first served. Earlier the story was that they were shipping existing stock back to HP...but that all changed Saturday...probably cost HP more to have it restocked only to be resold via HP at the same $99.99 price tag.
By the way, if you go to BestBuy's website and select any one of the tablets, you can enter your zip code to see if it's in stock. It appears if it's available at a store, then you can select it for local pick up and buy it online while there's still inventory. (Cross your fingers.)
The same effect occurred when Staples had their $100 coupon for Android tablets...it required good luck finding any Android tablets at brick and mortar stores in stock.
Well, if you're not crazy about rushing off to find a $99.99 WebOS TouchPad that is instantly obsolete, you might consider using this coupon for 10% off tablets (excluding the Toshiba Thrive) at OfficeMax, good for Sunday and Monday only (8/21 - 8/22).
Seriously, instantly obsolete with ZERO product support...are you really going to buy that? I can understand if there was a good root to add Android, but there doesn't seem to be any.
UPDATE: Sunday afternoon: they're all gone everywhere. Gee, if Android tablet prices were dropped to $300, I bet they'd sell out, too...
