While the touchpad is not quite dead yet ..... the whole frenzy over the $100+ price does point out that there is a big pentup demand for a quality $100 tablet, whether that price is subsidized or by reducing extraneous features or lowering margins, etc. The Kindle and Nook are both pretty cool. It has been suggested that Amazon might be positioning itself to meet that demand sometime before Christmas. http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/jacketco...k=lat-pick
