HP TouchPad sees more discounts

Earlier this week,HP started a promotion that will chop $50 off the price of their newly-launched WebOS-based TouchPad tablet.
With the discount, the tablet will sell for $450 (16GB model) or $550 (32GB model).

Following the news, the discounts kept on coming, with Staples and other retailers offering the device for $100 off, for this weekend only.

On top of that, Woot is offering the tablet today (16GB) for $380..$120 off the list price.

HP purchased Palm last April to acquire WebOS and all its patents, and the TouchPad, along with a new version of the Palm Pre, are the only new devices consumers have seen with the mobile OS. Developer support has been, understandably, limited.

If they took off $120+$100+$50...and someone figured a way to install android...it would be a $180 android tablet...and it still wouldn't be worth it...HP hardware is total junk.
