Supposedly Best Buy will be selling them tomorrow at the discounted price too.

And you can control uTorrent through an app as well.

With all the TouchPads people are buying, HP should be like, "Sike, we're not getting out of the tablet business."
Perfect way for HP to get market share and get more people to create apps for WebOS.

Would $230 be worth paying for one of these? Does that price kill the deal?
I disagree with unanimity
Picked up a 16gb at BB today. I asked for 2, but they said, "1 per person." 
Free 50GB cloud storage with box.net is muy bien.
I like the fact that it uses a micro usb to charge unlike my transformer which uses a proprietary plug.

Got my email confirmation directly from datavis. So no need to run to bestbuy 

I disagree with unanimity
Ken- Is factory reset the only way to remove a webOS account from the device?
I want to give this one to my Dad, but wasn't thinking when I set it up with my email address.

Well I sort of feel like an idiot paying $125 for mine, but I guess I don't gotta deal with camping at worst buy or not knowing that it would show up on amazon as a lightening deal.
I disagree with unanimity
Camp? I walked in BB and walked out with one in less than 5 min. Anyway, $125 is not a bad deal. With CA sales tax at BB it would have been ~$110

yea but bestbuy stores have been open already for 2 hours already. no chance i think.

Dont bother with Bestbuy, im getting reports from all my friends that none of them around me had them. They opened the doors at opening saying "No more touchpads". One store my buddy went to the employees were saying it sarcastically and giggling. Looks like they got first dibs.
$125 is NOT bad at all. These things used to be $399

My wife went to our local BB, Office Depot, Office Max and none of them had any. The BB had a line waiting for them to open.

I guess one of the "perks" of living in BFE, WI....no lines at BB.

Yeah but it's easy. Basically you put the device in developer mode (Konami code) and download the WebOS Doctor to your computer, hook it up and it can wipe the device and restore any information you wish.Originally Posted by sho_nuff1997
