Fawk just saw this on slickdeals 
(9/15) Tiger Direct Stores in Chicago - They had advertised the bundle for $199 and $249 respectively, but due to shipping problems, the stores did not get the Touchstone docks and/or keyboards. So they ended up selling just the Touchpad for $99 and $149. Lines had formed since 6AM or so and some lucky people got it...about 30 or so at the Hoffman Estates store.

Now if only there was a way to get real multitasking.
But for that I'd have to have windows or Linux or whatever on the pad..

yep I'm running the 1.5ghz kernel and love this thing. There are faster ones but I am more than happy with the zippiness of 1.5
I also installed a bunch of other patches that speed this thing up in other ways. There was a link I posted several pages back which take you Step by step.

I'm Down Right Fierce!
^ Have you tried running a game? I can't run any of the experimental kernels when playing graphic intense games (like Asphalt 6 HD). I like the F-15c kernel alot (dual cores at 1.8 ghz) but whenever I boot up a game it just crashes.
Games and w/e run just fine with Uberkernel (1.5 ghz) for me and its snappy enough.
Miz, make sure you also install "Unthrottle Download" from preware, helps a ton when loading flash heavy sites. Faster downloads means faster

Maybe I should switch the profile to dual core 1.8ghz when I goto my shady websites... It still lags when loading it initially. Once I can switch the default view to a lower option then the site works fine...

Anyone else have this issue?
If I try to scroll through a web page too quickly, it minimizes the card? I need to keep maximizing the card over and over. If im careful not to scroll near the edges its usually better.
I understand that minimizing the card by swiping UP quickly is a feature, but its a bit too sensitive at times. anyway to adjust?
