Did HP just kill the tablet market with their WebOS?

I had no intention of ever owning a tablet, but for $100 why the hell not for an XL facebook/internet browser/media player.

Exactly.

I pretty much use my iPod Touch as just an internet browser already, I was trying to get one last night but no luck

btw for those who are interested in one, there might be a 2nd batch being released: http://www.pcworld.com/article/2385...ale_deals_expected_to_continue_this_week.html

Bought one through B&N last night. I was charged, but it hasn't shipped yet. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Confirmed this morning that the ones I ordered are shipping! We put in a big order at work for 8 and split them up. I got 3, will use two as gifts and one as a personal tablet for home.

For $100 you can't go wrong. Even if it only browses the web, plays video & music, and functions as a calendar / email system, that's good enough for me for $100.

I was planning on checking out Amazon's rumored Kindle tablet when it is released later this year, but for $150 for a 32 GB Touchpad, I decided I should jump on the tablet bandwagon now. I mainly want it for an eReader.

Woo, the tablet I picked up at amazon is out for delivery... and the case I picked up for $5 from verizon should arrive tomorrow.

I'll be probably using it as a couch surfer. It'll be nice if there's a decent pdf reader, but from reading around, it seems that it's slow and buggy.
