HP TouchPad Liquidation

Last night, I read from TechCrunch "HP Issues TouchPad Liquidation Order – Get Yours Now For $100". Wow. Is that's true? I would like get one for $99 and use it for browsing, reading, listening music and watch video. I don't need other apps.

I do some more research. It looks like that price for Canada only.

But for BestBuy in USA, it still $399

Even I cannot click thru the link at BestBuy.com, I check the special return policy for HP TouchPad

So I will stop by at BestBuy to check it out. If it's $99, I will buy it.
