You can get a tablet not named HP for $99. A cheap knockoff with resistive touchscreen that makes you tear your hair out. Not a huge market for it in the US.

I think tablets are overpriced now but I don't think it's that overpriced. Remember before the iPad was announced people had been expecting $800-$1000 price point. To get much cheaper than the $500 baseline (for 10") you'd need a subsidized product, some type of contract.
Yes, I love bargain, who doesn't! I literally didn't mean 100-150 price point but anywhere between 200-300. Personally I would like to have 7-8" honeycomb tablet sometimes later this year. Obviously price has to be in the lower 200-300 range with more than 8 hrs battery. Hopefully Amazon comes out with something good.
