TouchPad tablets sold out at Best Buy?

America sure does love a bargain: Hewlett-Packard's decision to drop the price to as low as $99 for its TouchPad tablets touched off a weekend buying rush that the company called "overwhelming." Ian Sherr has details on digits.

The price point or $99 fire sale of HP that can compete with Apple's iPad.  It was a great weekend for the retailers but will consumers actually benefit by purchasing a product that can no longer receive updates or any technical support?  It's a bad purchase in my eyes.
