Burgundy is already sold out !
White ? Urp.
***********************
When I see a recent item whose price on a popular site has been reduced MORE than 50% it makes me wonder...:
Is the manufacturer in serious trouble ?
Is there some reason it will soon be discontinued ?
Maybe an earth-shaking development which makes this thing truly obsolete ?
Some other reason NOT to buy it even though it is outstandingly cheap ?

I am leary because right now I have an Augen TheBook and a dead Jetbook.
Spending the $70 is OK with me - but if it is this cheap NOW - what happens next ?
Could it be that Android MIDs have scared these people into a panic ?

And - there's no more non-Lite Jetbooks at Newegg at all - 100% gone, I wonder why ?
