$100 16gig HP tablet sale at BestBuy and Futureshop

[dancrane212]

A friend texted me a hour or two ago with this. Looks like it's best to try an instore pickup seeing as they are apparently flying out of the stores.

16 gig $100

I haven't seen any in depths reviews and looking at the clock I don't really have time to go dancing around (work at 7) looking for any. It has some positive buzz on the Futureshop page though.

Try the Dollar Store, they've had generic/iPad screen protectors for a while now. I'm sure they'd fit, if not you wasted a few bucks.

I went and ordered one of these for about $8 shipped a few days ago, it looks decent enough.

EDIT: Holy Cow, the price went and jumped up to $52, I guess they found out about the discount.

[quote name='AftComet']Windows 7 is not possible. You can't update the software, and the specs are not enough to have it running optimally. What you get is what you get. There will be no support for bugs or issues. It's a dead product.

WebOS is like Linux.[/QUOTE]
Some people online have been able to get Android working on it.
How "easy" it is, I have no idea though.
