Walmart's Interactive 35S Image Message #16 Posted by Matt Kernal on 2 Aug 2007, 8:49 p.m., in response to message #15 by Jeff O.

I'm still a little honked off that Walmart raised their price $10 to capitalize on the early demand.
I didn't realize that! >:-(
While squeezing HP for the lowest possible wholesale prices (as they do to all their suppliers - or so the legend goes), I assume they paid somebody for this zoomable, panable image of the 35S. I don't see any cosmetic flaws in this picture.
But certainly not worth the extra $10 surcharge/price-of-admission.
If Walmart pulls the 35S before I get mine (maybe they already have - but their web designers haven't got the word yet), I'm no worse off than before I placed the order. Actually, I am worse off - now they have my personal/financial info.. the *#@$?%'s!
In reality, I hope the *real* reason for HP pulling the 35S is to fix some software issues, with the anniversary silkscreening reason being a convenient cover to buy some time for bug extermination.
Still shallow,
Matt
p.s. Walmart's image reminds me of something.. did Gene ever come clean on that 35S emulator he's using?
