iPad met its match in the TouchPad | Nanotech – The Circuits Blog – CNET News:

On Friday, August 19, Apple’s iPad finally met its marketing match. That’s when Hewlett-Packard’s TouchPad went on sale for as little as $99 and triggered the kind of buying frenzy that had been reserved exclusively for products from Apple.

Uh huh, and the Microsoft Zune is going to destroy the iPod, right?
I shouldn’t be so snarky. I’ll reserve further comments until the next version of the TouchPad is released.
I hope @gruber has this one filed away for future claim chowder.
Update: He found it.
