You realize you can get a good Android tablet for $249 and that WebOS, as great as it is, is all but dead, AND that the TouchPad, as great as it is, doesn't do as good a job running Android as a native 'droid tablet?

Shame on you w00t, even the ones coming from hp will only be $99.

Who let this through the marketing filter.

Really woot? Really?

I am disappoint...

This isn't a deal .... it's a snuffleupagus.

As much money that I've thrown at Woot to have them hold out and post Craigslist prices ???

There better be a flat-screen as part of the bundle.

TOTALLY BOGUS

I've joked about woot-killers before, but seriously, $250 for a machine barely worth the $99 it fire-saled for? I'm going to bed.

There are likely just a few of them.. All of the rest were taken home by Woot! staff... (grin)

easily.

Once you actually USE webos for an hour, you'll hate:

1. The browser
2. The dearth of apps
3. That you will never be able to get another one.

I just downloaded nintendo and play Super Mario. Also, Android as of today. Oh, and Pirate Bay. I watched the LOTR extended blu ray version. Love my Touchpad!

And yet... it's still selling. P.T. Barnum.

$250 for a 16GB HP Touchpad?! Best laugh I've had all day.

Good news is I can keep playing CS:S.

This has got to be a joke... I got this a few months ago for $99... I guess if you missed the fire sell you're stuck with the excessive markups from others, didn't think woot would be one of them though...

lawl. people are buying these.

There are a bunch of folks in Utah that don't know what they just bought. So lets not tell them because we need them to stick around for the next woot killer too!

It's not like we can buy this and ask HP for a price match... Can't jump on this one...

Everyone Chant UTAH!!! UTAH!!! Come on Suckerz!!!!!

Is this a joke? The all dayprice for a 32GB is 240 on ebay..... I have never been more shocked at woot

Hell due do to some order mixups I have an extra 32 gig and.I.wouldn't even put it at 250. I mean. Good lord

Despite only being on Alpha 2.1 build, Cyanogenmod's Android for Touchpad is running great on my Touchpad. I've never run Alpha (and barely rarely Beta) software that is as stable as Cyanogenmod for Touchpad. There are issues, but it is VERY usable.

do you price match to $150:P


DOH $99

Putting it simply:

That's some ol' bull.

I'd like to remind everyone that they already warned us, with the last home computer, sans screen, that they would be offloading a ton of HP crap.

I'd also like to mention that guys, in general, can't fit this in a pocket, unlike a smartphone. As for us girls, large purses and tiny ones are in fashion right now. Obviously, this won't fit in a tiny one, and DO YOU REALLY want to carry this around with all your other stuff in a large purse?

Just sayin'.

It is times like this I hang my head in shame about living in Utah....

I got a 32GB one during the firesale, and I just love it. There is a nice homebrew community with a lot of nice apps. No need to worry about future support; there is a strong user base.

Actually...it does. Angry Birds HD is free on Web OS.

PEOPLE??? YOU ARE BUYING THE BETAMAX OF TABLETS!

Now back to your regular programming.....

I just lost lots of respect for you, Woot. I thought you were all about great deals. Very bad form.

Im almost starting to think that this is an aprils fools wootoff....im losing so much faith...

Jeebus. Barnum was right. I am in the wrong line of business.

Yeah, Utah buys the strangest things from w00t. It's been an ongoing trend.

it would be funny if the next woot was $150 for a 32gb..

Got my kindle fire ordered anyway

what the woot! I got my 32GB for only $145.

really iowa! wow

...and your point is? these hp thingies are passe and only on ebay will they sell (or craigslist or a yard sale) get a eyepad and be done screwing around!

And yet people are stupid enough to buy it at this insane price...

You've completely missed my point. People are harvesting combineing about a 250% markup from "MSRP". The MSRP on these was always $400 and $500 for a 16GB and 32GB respectively. HP's fire sale pricing (which doesn't exist any longer) does not mean that these are marked up.

Do tell - you have one for $200? Why are you selling?

Woot made at least 24*150 = $3600 profit.
