It’s not a true Tablet PC, since it’s not running Windows XP Tablet PC Edition, but Frontpath’s discontinued Progear 1050HX, which runs Linux on a Transmeta processor can be found now for just $600. Original cost: $3,199.

Speaking of the Tablet PC, apparently some online retailers are already selling the Acer Tablet PC. Anyone seen one on sale yet?
