Didn't know of the employee price drop until now.
Definitely going to keep mine now that it's $64.99. I'll get lots of use out of it for the price of a video game.

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.
Now excuse me while I go try out Spankwire on this tablet... | I'm actually trying to get one myself because of the price and the potential for porting android onto it.
I'm sure it works fine and for $100 it's totally worth being able to lie on my couch surfing the web and watching videos  .
Just thought it was a funny review (remember it was $399). I'm not making any comments myself about it. | |

^Exactly. It's not bad for what most people really need it for. Like I said my girlfriend loves it, all she uses it for is for internet, skype, and a few games.
It's really not bad for what you get. You can barely get anything for $100 that can do everything that a TouchPad can.
I'm hoping for it to support Android and if that happens it'll be a pretty good device.

I find it funny that the cases are like 59.99. I would say that I'm pretty happy with the device for the price that was paid. What a bargain!

Now excuse me while I go try out Spankwire on this tablet... | its only $100 bucks now cuz it sucked and being discontinued after 1 and a half month
if it was so great, it would've been still selling at $399
I'm now laughing at the apple haters that brought one at launch.

^ With price guarantees at many stores a lot of people should be able to go back and get a refund of the difference. In fact, in a case like this I think every person who bought one would be eligible for a refund if they complained.
