Would you be able to run a mobile broadband dongle on this when you are on the move and lack a wi fi connection?

You could use one of those mobile hotspots, some phones even support that.

Managed to reserve a 32GB with Argos, for pickup from Thursday to Sunday this weekend.

They say on the item page that "Current selling price valid until 26/08/2011"

Are people here reserving from Harvey Norman and Argos simply in anticipation of a price drop?

Brian

Yes, it's a bit mad.

So happy I don't have college or work right now. These are tense times gents.
I wonder if we will be limited to one when/if they go on sale?

They're in Harvey Normans in Carrickmines for €99 (16gb model) now. Reservation of 1 per customer.

I have one reserved in Argos, but i wouldn't have much hope that any will be in stock if i go to get one at a reduced price.

Have been refreshing Amazon.co.uk all morning!

Also there's a tonne of touchpads on ebay, most are too pricey, some are okayish. Worth keeping an eye out.

this is maddening, this thread has the appearance of a support group . Been writing scripts to automatically check pages just so I can do other things, but I have a feeling it won't even be today.

Just rang Harvey Norman in Kinsale Road, Cork and they're at 399, fella on the phone had no idea of a price drop.

Swords did not know anything about price drop either

Unfortunately with any deals like this, lots of people buy large quantities to sell for profit at a later date on ebay when the stocks run out.

There are stories of the sale in the US of people ordering 5+ there is no need for that and the retailers should prevent it.

Anyone else confirm this? As if Harvey Normans are doing a price drop to that, I assume they will advertise it first knowing them.

Edit: 32GB now down to 129

bruce wayne

guy in Carrickmines said he had no confirmation of a price drop..

devnull

Just called Blanch, say it's still full price and the website is wrong.

Brian

Yeah but then you click the item and it goes back up to the normal price. Hmm. It doesn't look like you can buy online from HN?
