Sure last years equipment is great but for me, I can store a lot of data and make it extremely portable. Granted, a tablet will never replace my ProBook but it will certainly be easier to carry around with me in the office

To me – the question is all about what you are going to use it for. Considering the majority of all computer users only surf the web, get E Mail, and view some photos – far too many people overpay for the latest and greatest system, when last year’s technology at a much lower price will do them just fine (actually – three year old technology will probably work great for them).

MelanieYarbro,
When mine shows up (it’s still like 3-4 weeks away) then yes I will.

I just ordered mine this morning! You can’t beat a $99 dollar price tag. The reviews weren’t as good as the Samsung Galaxy or the BB Playbook but for that price, I don’t care if it runs on natural gas!

Nope, not interested in a product with such a short shelf life and one that support for will dry up quickly.

Better putting the £100 towards something that will be around for a while.

As far as I know, it is true that they are making another batch of devices, but the price is not guaranteed (and most likely won’t) to be the same.

Denny: I hope we get to see a review of the tablets on the blog?

Saturno & Rafo2001: There was talk around the office that they’re making another batch of TouchPads. Heard anything about this? Good luck!

Unfortunately NO!

Couldn’t find it anywhere in the world… But would love to buy one for that price.
As Mrdenny said, it would be just a matter of few days to get it running Android.
In fact,it seems that Qualcomm is also working on that -> Link.
