I was hoping for a bigger discount through my work. 15% discount and half off the extended warranty isn't going to entice me enough to keep one. The BB Rep used the term "lucrative" when describing the discount we'd be getting (covering the taxes is hardly lucrative) and he also said BB really wanted the sales guys to have these in our hands (I make a decent paycheque, but most Staples employees aren't going to be able to shell out $476 for a tablet working for $9/hour, especially with the labour cuts this year). Well, I guess I'll be getting one, using it for a few weeks, and returning it unless someone I know wants to buy it from me.

I hope HP offers us a better deal on the TouchPad (assuming I'm still there; I'm hoping I get an Engineering job soon), especially since I'm a big fan of WebOS.
