Australian TouchPad pricing drops by $100

It means the TouchPad will be one of the cheapest tablets available in the Australian market, with pricing then below that of Apple's iPad 2, which starts at $579 for the Wi-Fi only model, and the Toshiba Tablet which launched last month for  $579 also.

However the TouchPad, which runs the company's own webOS operating system, has so far failed to impress early reviewers, with many saying the lack of 3G capabilities, minimal apps and slow speeds leave the device hamstrung by the likes of Apple's iPad and Samsung's Galaxy Tab alternatives.

Australian eCommerce provider, eCorner, in collaboration with VARCentral today announces the launch of the first online retail platform for resellers that offers automated daily feeds from multiple distributors and the potential for significant new revenue streams.
