looks like HP is throwing in the towel, so if anyone wants to try and get a cheap way to surf the web, tomorrow they are supposed to price drop like crazy.

Problem is, HP probably won't release updates, so they are going to become obsolete mighty quickly.

We bought a bunch yesterday, a lot of people in our office want them because of the possibility of Windows mobile and Android being on them

They are killing the hardware, not the software. Even so, it's $100. You could turn them into a 10" digital picture frame that also surfs the web for $100. :lol:

It's a shame they are being discontinued, I really like mine so far. WebOS is neat.

I must have ordered from about 4-5 different places, only one actually went through. Shit was bananas.

I got screwed out by my Best Buy yesterday. And watched hp.com to post them to wake today and sold out.

I've given up trying to get one. :(

Yeah, I lived up till now without one so I won't die if I don't get one.

I'd still get one if it fell into my lap but I'm not losing any sleep looking.

Agreed. Fuck HP. I still have my iphone to surf if need be while sitting around or watching TV.
