FlipStart retail price nosedives, we're a little worried

It's one thing to have a price reduction, it's another thing to go from $1500 to $700 -- more than half off -- in a single day. Then again, if you want to move units, there's nothing like a fire sale. Perhaps the FlipStart 2.0 is just around the corner. Or perhaps these things simply weren't moving as fast as Paul Allen might have hoped.

Ummmm, some of us want that crappy windows so we can run our software. And the Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee is in no way comparable to the flipstart -- the former is much bigger and much slower.

If only OQO would do the same for their product. Even the 01 at that price would have me jumping on it. But this... dunno.

Better read the fine print, Engadget!
