reps from FS told me they won't be getting anymore since the product is discontinued.
Of course if anyone has inside information I'm hoping they actually do have a ton in the warehouse waiting to be sold

Staples and London Drugs will not have anymore in stock and they will be selling them in stores that's for sure...Doesn't matter how many words you put in caps lock, they simply don't have them.
The only way you'll get one is by buying them online...If they come in stock again, staff members will simply be buying them before any of you.
At this moment, stores like Costco will be your only bet. Today was basically the only day to get this.

What a shame to just kill it after less than 2 months on the market. I thought it had potential - maybe the second generation would have been worth buying, but I guess we'll never know now.
Heh...$99 buys me almost 2 months worth of gas.

Lol I'm going to price protect the one I bought a week ago at the first employee pricing.
Really don't like webOS but the girlfriend loves it...
Can't complain about the 16GB price though.. I paid more for my Kobo -.-

For $60-$150...regardless of which end of that spectrum you paid, the device works wonderfully for many uses. No one in their right mind can logically buy this product and expect it to COMPETE with an iPad or an Android tablet.
However, multi-tasking works like a charm, You Tube works like a charm, browsing on it with flash, not a problem. Want to play one of the most popular mobile games, Angry Birds? Not a problem. Any problems with Skype, nope, none! No longer have a use for it? Turn it into a picture frame. Either way, for $100, you cannot find another device that does the above listed things well. I've had this Touch Pad for a little over a week now and have yet to have any complaints about it. Other than the fact that the apps are limited, this is a great overall device.
Either way, rather than reading online reviews of a device that EVERYONE knows has been abandoned, pick one up and make your own decision. So far, in this thread, only one person has had a complaint. Others seem to be pleasantly surprised with the performance and bargain that they received.
