HP TouchPad 32GB 9.7" Tablet $209 at PC Connection

I thought these were found cheaper brand new when HP released them and then end of life'ed them the same week

They were, I bought mine for $150 new for a 32GB

A $209 32gb Touchpad was certainly hot deal one year ago, but now
2nd hand or refurb iPad & iPad2 became very cheap after Apple release New iPad. You can get a 2nd hand 32gb iPad1 for $230 from Cowboom.com. Of course, condition varies.

Its actually a pretty smooth tablet. It attracts finger prints like crazy just like most others.

I really liked it. I'm considering picking one up. The accessories are coming way down in price as well. I saw the bluetooth keyboard for this on another site for twenty something dollars...

I'm happy with my Touchpad, and certainly at the time of the fire sale and for a long time afterwards they were a good deal hardware-wise. ICS supposedly is pretty good on them too. However, like #3 points out, iPads and other Android tablets are around the same price point now (and more on the horizon) so Touchpads are getting a bit stale.

If HP ever released the Pre3, then this would have made sense.

See you in He11 HP and Palm for getting my hopes so high!

@TheF0nz: I have the Skinomi TechSkin HP TouchPad Screen Protector (which is on Clearance right now for $6.95 + S&H) and it works wonderfully for reducing fingerprints without degrading screen control! and they have a "Lifetime Replacement Guarantee" which I have had to use for my blackberry that bricked on me and was replaced by VZW.

Thanks fyrlmco, I ordered some of those screen protectors with coupon: get25 (-25% and free shipping).

I love my TouchPad after I ported it to Android. Tons of apps.
