Well I doubt the Touch Pad will have a "killer" price. The tech is pretty much the same as its competitors and it costs what it costs.

I'm an Andorid guy, but I'm really impressed with the software of the TouchPad - it looks more useful than either iOS or Honeycomb at this time when it comes to multitasking.
