Wow, $99 for a tablet after $300 off? Crazy! Too bad HP doesn't make Topre keyboards, they could use a discount like that.

Already OOS at HP, Target, and PCRichardson. Should be price dropped at many major retailers by 7AM EST today.

I appreciate the heads up. I went to my walmart this morning and waiting a couple hours with a few other guys for the price to change. I got a 32gb version for 161 USD :)

Can still get the 32GB version from Microcenter.  Costs a bit more ($150) and gotta pay tax and shipping but very likely gonna pull the trigger anyway for a new toy.

1. Android was already ported, nobody made drivers because there wasn't any interest. Guess what's going to happen now.
2. Microcenter has it in stores. Staples, Office Max, Sears, etc. should all have it in stores eventually. Not sure if the DFW area Fry's has any left. Hope is lost for most Wally Worlds, people were driving around at 1AM or 2AM last night snatching them up from 24 hour stores.

All the Walmart's within 30 miles of me were already sold out when I discovered the price drop this morning.  I saw this post last night, but thought it was in reference to HP dropping the Touchpad, not dropping the price of the Touchpad.  

****ty, I would pay $99 for a Touchpad, but apparently everyone else would too.  http://slickdeals.net/forums/showthread.php?t=3220862

HP Touchpad is fast becoming a valuable craigslist keyword. Mad, eBay?

I was more excited about $99 Leopolds than yet another company exiting the PC business.

I was able to snag four of the 16gb models from HP's website

for those of you still looking you can get them online at HP small business .. just will have to take some patience going back and clicking buttons constantly until you get through


I am pretty excited for these -- will be giving one to my parents, one to my grandparents, one to my sister, and one to my girlfriend

now they can all leave me and my galaxy tab alone :D

If you have a confirmation maybe you're good, I hope so.  I got a confirmation from Microcenter then a cancellation.  "Bryna" Social Media Manager for HP, posted on twitter an hour ago - "yes. Those on the SMB site -- SO SORRY :( but there is a glitch that is not reflecting inventory being OUT of STOCK", a kick in the gut, but added 15 minutes ago "More coming soon. Stay tuned and try again" so gave back some hope.

Anyone who is still interested in these might want to check this mammoth epic thread on Slickdeals.  I think it's already hit max posts at least once and wrapped.  Sitting at 9,069 as of this moment but that's just a point in time since the rate of new posts is simply amazing.  Anyway, new sources are starting to open up, onsale through amazon, macmall, costcentral, surely more to come.  There is apparently a lot of stock out there and someone posted he has a contact who works for China shipping (COSCO) who told him that a ship loaded with six 40ft containers containing Touchpads is enroute and will be pulling into Port of Long Beach, CA on Tuesday.  Since HP has officially lowered the MSRP on these, anyone who wants one should be able to get one with a little vigilance.  The biggest problem right now is any site mentioned in that thread immediately is subject to effectively a DOS from readers.  Major sites like Amazon can take it but lesser sites crumble.

Seems like folks are having the best luck at the moment with  these 16 & 32GB models from onSale through Amazon.  onSale is subsidiary of MacMall who reportedly has a lot of these but available via Amazon while the MacMall website had been crushed last I checked.

There should be an app to track these.

Probably available only for the iPad.

Problem is the iPad app seemingly has filters that only find products selling for at least 4 times this price and can't display most of them anyway since flash is required.
