I'm now laughing at the apple haters that brought one at launch.
It's only $100 now because HP's executives are a bunch of fucking retards.

Think of all the money they are going to lose on this ... Think if they put that money into product development and marketing ... These things also sold like hotcakes for $299 in the States, which is roughly around HP's cost. When do Android tablets sell like crazy ? When the Acer Iconia dropped to $329 for a short period, but that's the only time I can think of at my store. Outside of that, we might sell a few a week between the different models.

The only complaints I ever hear are webOS is slow (which is EASILY fixed) and it's made of glossy plastic (can't fix that). These same people seem to never focus in on the positives, of which there are many. High-quality screen, great REAL LIFE battery life, inductive charging, best multi-tasking OS for tablets, great homebrew community, 50GB free online storage, supports Flash, Java, HTML 5, etc.
