Thinking Of Buying A $99 TouchPad? Don't - Forbes

The TouchPad is dead, but Hewlett-Packard is giving it a hell of a wake. HP has slashed the price of its $399 tablet computer to $99 after killing the product on Thursday, sparking a buying frenzy.

Finally, an Apple competitor has found a price low enough to start an online shopping stampede. And why not? Sure it’s bulkier than an iPad, the battery life is relatively poor, and it’s got just one camera — instead of two, but 99 bucks seems pretty good for anything with a 1.2 Ghz Snapdragon processor and an operating system with the ease of use and sophistication of WebOS.

Don’t do it.
