The webOS was a hot selling tablet for a few days last week. People went crazy hanging around big box retail stores looking for the either the $99 16GB or $149 32GB version. They sold out quickly but the rumour around the web is that the sale will be making its way back.
On the humourous side of things, a drawing has popped up on eBay of the 16GB version. Seller “hillcrestbunch” says “You are bidding on an awful drawing of an HP Touchpad. I’m posting this because I see idiots bidding $300 on $99 tablets, and $850 on a $99 tablet running Android–so I figured maybe someone would be dumb enough to bid on my drawing. Hell, if this sells for over $800, I’ll draw you another one with Android on it AT NO EXTRA COST!… This was drawn on a regular sized sheet of white paper. The drawing is in BLUE pen!–my (and likely your) favorite color. This weighs less than an actual touchpad, is flexible, and is 1/1–you can sleep well at night knowing that you’re different than the thousands of others who got a “real” touchpad. It can also be viewed as a drawing of a 16 or 32 gb one. And finally, this touchpad drawing is of the rare WHITE one.”
Bidding is apparently over $80,000 and ends September 1st.
Whacked.
