at my work the devs have ordered like 2-3 each and 6 for other employees, so £90 for an android tablet is brilliant, the ubuntu port is news to me though, but all the better

I've been trying all day to get my hands on one, and yeah £90 is fantastic.

Tell your devs that I hate them, everywhere in the UK is now out of stock and we have only rumours to go on.

This is what I'm complaining about.

I know the reasons, but the price reduction lead to a lot of people just buying those in batches.

I'd have prefered a price cut to 50% so that not everyone and his mother buys 12 'just in case' to have a real chance to be part of the deal. Bad luck :(
