Good idea, the slim fit case is horrible. I've had the ipad, and the playbook. And my friend's had the zoom. The case for the touchpad is miles below.

All I'm picturing is a lot of people disappointed at Christmas time opening a box for a device discontinued for 5 months with no support/warranty.

The general population thinks that if is not an iPad, its just some cheap knockoff.

Apple sprinkled some magic ferry dust over the whole world. And its working

Not bad for $100. Photo stand, alarm clock, web browser. The thing is grown on me. I like webOS more than iOS.. the multitasking is far superior. Too bad about the apps situation..

What are you using as a stand for your tablet?? I purchased the dock but you seem to be doing what I want without it!

TBH I didn't even really watch the whole video, I just saw it, watched a few seconds, and posted it. Most likely they are just playing a video recording of Android being used, and playing it back on the TouchPad.

It will be done eventually though, I'm sure

My order fr Barnes and Nobles was cancelled as well. I think paying via PayPal delayed the process a lot which caused mine to be canceled. I swear I got it right when it was live. I finished. Completing the order at 9:25 and people that said they ordered at 9:30 got through

Oh well hoping that the datavis one from eBay goes through

YouTube is fast and looks great because you get to see it in its native viewing mode. For its resolution, it does a good job, no better or worse than iPad2 (which has the same resolution). It could have benefited from a better resolution on this tablet but no complaints for the price (as mentioned before lol).

Mostly full of retards who think that a product is worth MORE when it's being discontinued...

These people are so dumb. They have a bright future in business I'm sure.


And video formats are: MPEG-4, H.263, H.264. I'm sure there is an App that can be downloaded for additional formats...

No, I don't think PayPal had anything to do with it. I paid using my Visa and a handful of others did as well on BC Sportbikes. My co-workers also paid using their Mastercard and Visa cards. All of us got the letter of rejection.
