General, General! We need air support asap!
Sorry lieutenant we are in the middle of a critical update here...
So make sure you own that computer before betting your life on it... Not saying that MS is right, they aren't but at the same time this look similar as when a GPS tell you to drive outside of the road...
Yes 100$ is an impulse buy for most, but I suspect that quite a few of the buyer where also expecting the tablet
to be able to display a web page, read email, play a few game like angry bird and read book, and this product is
capable of all of this
Most of the buyer also assumed a tablet with the HP name (and for some Palm) previously priced at +500$ can't be that bad!
Now there's a bounty to put Android but as far as I am concerned if I put my hand on one I will use it as is hoping that it
can also play avi and stream music/movies, all the rest is already there!
Let's hope the marketing guru will understand that people are expecting to pay the same price for a tablet than for a netbook
or quite close, they will pay premium maybe for bigger app store or for steve jobs signature...
I agree 100% Apple fan have a long history of paying premium for their stuff.
I do wonder if that sales was genuine tho... Neither the less it's still an interesting
proof that price is important, especially if the seller has no history in regard to
what you are buying (Again I think apple is different, they have people who would
buy a suitcase sized laptop if Steve was telling them it's better this way)
This sale could have been made by disgruntled employee of WebOS
Seem like the website had video replaced, they could have well used this access to send the email asking to make this huge sales!

Precentral.net is reporting:
Looks like someone was able to get one final jab in at HP before getting the boot. HP will no doubt be firing an entire division of webOS hardware engineers in the process of killing off webOS devices. As the video says, if you're looking for an excellent employee, look to the people that will be affected at HP. There will be quite a few great workers looking for a job in the near future.
Either way this sales will make history, I do not remember something like this before!
You can't compare country that doesn't have the same population/density. It would be almost impossible for a competitor to build a new network. but if Bell win his point we may well see wireless takeover eventually as technology permit.

I forgot, they need to sue Kubrick too!
Apple should SUE Picard, StarTrek and DATA

As long as they do not try to discourage them from taking Bath...
