Prices have seem to come down on CL. You can get a 32GB with a case or dock for $250. Considering the 32GB is $170 with tax, and the dock or cover is $30, the sellers are only making $50.

Looking at CL today, most people are still asking for $250 for a slightly used 32 gigaddy TP and $170 for a slightly molested 16 gigaddy unit. The worst I saw was $340 for a used OC'd 16 gigger. Most guys are claiming firm on their prices.
I got my first one today, can't wait to go home and OC it and then put it on CL for $599.

Especially funny if you do it to ticket scalpers only hours before an event.
Soooo.... post it on CL so I can buy it!  | |

Basically apple does the same thing - force you to use their app store, their music store, their everything. Except Apple doesn't have to subsidize the price, since everyone wants one already because of Magic.
The Amazon tablet doesn't have to be a dual core 9.7" IPS tablet either. It can't be shitty, but it doesn't have to cost $300 to make to be able to sell for $100-150.
$249-299 won't work either. Because nobody wants a tablet. Unless it's an ipad (Magic), or unless it's a ridiculous deal. | Amazon Kindle Fire tablet unveiled: Android-based, 7-inch display, $199 price tag -- Engadget | |

So I might be able to pick up a 32Gb TP at cost from a friend. I get first dibs so I have to get back to him soon. Still worth it now that the new Kindle is coming out? Will be using mostly as a mobile browser for around the house. Posted via RS Mobile | |

For $50 more than a $32 Gb TP you get a device essentially designed to be the perfect couch potato accessory optimized for browsing and media. Plus its smaller/lighter, so easier to handle for longer periods of time.
I want the Harmony remote software when I finally purchase a tablet, so that throws WebOS out the window.

You guys think there's anywhere I can take this story regarding the customer service with HP I've had?
I've recorded over 5 hours of call time over 11 calls and nothing has been provided to me regarding my TP yet other then it should show up soon even from NA CS.. Posted via RS Mobile | |

The TP is just another tablet, while Amazon looks like they've optimized the Fire specially for the things we'd do on the couch. Plus you get a fully supported device with apps, and the ability to turn your tablet into a remote for your TV.
