Default HP Touchpad Fire sale

With the news of HP dropping out of the PC market and dropping the Touchpad hardware there has been a fire sale of them over the past day or so. Did any of you jump on them for $99/$150? I ordered one of the 16g from Barnes and Noble. I am interested to see if it actually shows up at my door.

Nah, lot of my friends did though. I can't afford it, lol. Once someone finds a way to use a different OS on them they should be pretty sweet, especially for 100 bucks.

I had actually placed another order with pcmallgov.com for one and had received an email saying my order was cancelled through them as well. A week later I got a call back and they said the email was automatic for anyone that placed an order for a Touchpad and that my order would still be filled. I wasnt willing to believe it until one showed up at my door. Well today was the day This thing is bad ***.

Overclock it. Mine is running at 1.72 right now......and it also feels like its going to catch on fire lol.

For $100 I'm willing to brick it.

Is it difficult to do? I have heard guys talking about it but have no idea how it works.
