HP Touchpad (from closeout)
« on: Sat, 20 August 2011, 19:05:49 »
Hi, I'd like to buy an HP Touchpad (they were on sale this weekend), either 16 or 32 GB.  Must be LN or LNIB.

I can pay a fair price via Paypal or work out a trade; I have the following:
KBC Poker (Cherry Reds)
KBC Poker (Cherry Browns)
Data 911 (Cherry Blacks?)
Filco FKB104M (Cherry Browns)

Thanks

At this point, with reports of best buy employees hoarding remianing stock for themselves, I'm more hopeful about getting from from refreshed HP stock or maybe something like woot.  Found out about this deal late and wasted hours fruitlessly trying to snag one.  Sigh.

Update, maybe not fruitless, got a confirmation email from HP direct on an order I attempted to place with them.  But I got that from Microcenter and was quickly retracted.  I'll probably have to wait on this one since it's likely HP won't have staff around to either ship or cancel it till tomorrow morning.

That's what they told you but they changed. They are now selling them in store.

I might've picked up a couple at ecost.  Will have to see if they actually ship I guess.

Thank all of you for your advice!

The Amazon stock from Onsale was up for a pretty long time. Hopefully everyone's orders go through. I got myself a 16GB model

That's the one I got.  I posted about it over in the "So, who bought the HP Touchpad tonight?" thread earlier so hopefully everyone got one who wanted one.  And if not I have little doubt there will be more opportunities over the coming week both from HP itself and other vendors since there are still a lot of these touchpads in the supply channels.  I personally wouldn't try to buy extras to flip for profit but a good time to get a toy if you want one.

Anymore of these out there? I'd really like to get my hands on either the 16 or 32gb model.  All bestbuy and futureshops are sold out in my area, and neither let you order online.  Anybody have any ideas?

CDW was still processing orders but there are rumors that they've been out of stock for a while.

This whole mayhem has been like a combination of zombie apocalypse and Black Friday.

Why do you think your order will be cancelled?  I have -one- with them which currently shows a delivery estimate of August 25, 2011 - August 30, 2011.  If they do get cancelled, gird your loins, HP is supposed to be dumping a new load of them soon, probably tomorrow (if not sooner).

there's a few people talking about their orders being cancelled. I think I might be OK though since my card has a pending charge from amazon. a few people said they don't even have pending charges.

i just logged into the HP site and i still had 4 16gb in my cart. it let me order them...hopefully if the onsale ones don't come through, HP will leave me on the backorder list or something.

I am, and i'd 99% sure it will for sure happen, but it's more a matter of time. It might be a long ways out until we have a stable build. I'm happy with using WebOS until then. It's really a solid OS and it's sad 3.0 is off to this kind of start. I have pretty basic needs though. I'll use it 90% of the time to browse the internet though. I might take it with me to Italy next month and use it to watch movies on the flight.

You bet.  It will still be useful without it but much better with! Pretty much what BiNiaRiS said, well except I'm not going to Italy dammit.

I'm watching for these, too.  I'm hoping to put Ubuntu on it, instead of Android.  I use both, so either will be fine, but I'd rather have Ubuntu... 11.04 always seemed more of a tablet OS.  I hate Unity on the desktop, which is why I use LXDE, but it would make sense on a tablet.

Looks like everyone is pretty much out now.  Maybe the last place on planet earth expecting new stock is the  HP Home and Office store which is allegedly getting both some merchant returns and the contents of six 40ft containers containing Touchpads literally just in from China, so that's a place to watch.

YW. Bummer about not shipping to you.  Maybe another ebay deal like Datavis will pop up with only a slight markup.  There is also suspicion that Amazon has some squirrelled away that might show up on woot which they own (right now woot has a 12 pack of Gourmet Cedar Grilling Planks so don't get excited just yet).

Here is spreadsheet supposedly showing Best Buy stores with more coming in.  Not sure it's true.  Am sure none of the stores near me are listed.
