Hp listened to me!! I told you guys in order for all the tablets to beat iPad they have to drop their pants like Hp did. $99 oh yeah!! now you're talking. Apple is probably just laughing!!! Apple eventually will put every1 out of business. I can't even order one..was going to sell them for a little profit. How do you order ?is this just in Canada?

This is a marketing scam... the price drops are only listed this weekend and somehow miraculously they were instantly listed as sold out everywhere online in Canada at the exact moment they were listed as for sale at this price. They all of the instore inventories disappeared just before all the stores opened. I was looking at this last night and standing at the door waiting for them to open because they were listed as having stock. See what happens with this. Price goes back up Monday and they will suddenly be available? Haha

This reminds me when I was a kid and my dad bought a Texas Instruments 99 for 99 bucks. No support, just a basic language guidebook.
