Read a story yesterday that said they had committed to a certain number from the company that makes them, and the companies that makes them will not let them out of that contract.

That's an interesting point. I've been looking at eBay from time to time and noticed that prices had started around $200 (a 100% profit for the sellers) but recently was as high as $300. It will be interesting if the prices drop after "Touchpad Fever" subsides. I noticed the same thing happen with eBay prices for HP thin clients about the time that MagicJack started to become popular (the HP thin clients make ideal phone servers for MagicJack).

On the bright side, $200 for the 16gb version would still be better than the $225-$250 Buy It Now price point on ebay.

How much would they be willing to pay if the next/last batch has ATT/TMobile/GSM capability and more?

We have 3 "no mas" votes.
Looking forward to seeing how many 4G LTE unlocked TPs are sold @ $200 without contract. |
Make it a fourth "no". If I need internet connectivity whilst outside any type of free/home/friend wifi, my cell phone can create its own hot spot.
I've been fiddling with my 32GB. It's pretty neat, and it definitely runs better after running all of the tweaks listed everywhere. Reading PDFs and PPTs are a breeze, and much more comfortable in an armchair than a desk chair. |
Rumors on SlickDeals that Staples has "sporadic" availability this week. People say they have ordered and received a TouchPad. Can't validate, but there's lots of discussion in the thread about various ways to try to get one. Good luck.
