Price has dropped on Take2 US...R3k for the 16GB. Still a bit too much, think I saw a 10inch droid Viewsonic within that price range.

So yes I can argue that R1500 would have been better but you must admit compared to the other R2000 android tablets on the market this is a steal.
 
I mean show me where can you get a Android tablet with this HW specs for that price.

1 Gig of ram + 16 gig of storage with a 1Ghz Snapdragon

HP may have abandoned the TouchPad, but that apparently won't stop the company from issuing a post-mortem OTA update for its webOS tablet. Yesterday, an HP spokesperson confirmed to CNET that "HP TouchPad owners can look forward to an over-the-air update that will enhance the platform and add functionality and a growing applications catalog." The rep didn't offer any specifics, but reaffirmed that HP remains "fully committed to the ongoing support and service of customers who purchased webOS devices." The news comes on the heels of a Quickoffice HD update that dropped yesterday, and at a time when TouchPads are selling like hotcakes -- which probably explains HP's decision to issue a tweak. Indeed, the company went on to say that it's seen "huge spikes in activations and between 3-5X downloads of apps," since the TouchPad fire sale first launched.

apparently you can get the galaxy tab wifi only version for around R2k as well .... and I noticed that the motorola xoom has been reduced in price in the UK ... so hopefully this the trend and we can expect some nice toys at some decent prices :)
