I agree with what murraypaul said. The reason for the TouchPad's too-little-too-late success is because of the fire sale price drop. At a price point anywhere close to iPad and its rivals, I doubt the TouchPad -- even if it had been given more time -- would have been anything more than a niche, 'alternative' choice to the iPad and mountain of Android devices.
But drop the price to $99, and all of a sudden it's worth it. Maybe you don't like the TouchPad enough to choose it over the others, but for under a 'Benjamin'* it's easily the best value-for-money tablet.
