HP Touchpad Thread (NO Discussion Of Personal Buying/Selling)

upandcumming

Just a heads up to people.

I'm in NY for the summer and I've just ordered 2 of these for $220.
HP have discontinued the Touchpad this week and are now letting them go for $99 (16GB) and $149 (32GB).

I know most of you aren't in the USA but treat this as a heads up to get a very good tablet, with Flash Player, at a knock-down price.

edit - bah - still no discounts on amazon.com even when viewing via us proxies
not to worry - word is they have rather a lot of stock to clear - will go about my business and check back in later...

Could always buy through officedepot.com and ship it with bundlebox - will cost about €30 to ship

officedepot are out of stock, they have a back order service but they might cancel on you

Not seeing the lower price on amazon but people on twitter are saying they can see it. Perhaps the price is for US customers only.

The power adapter is easy - they have a 110volt plug stepping down to a usb cable - you'll probably have loads of mains plugs to usb kicking about - if not they're available for buttons on ebay
Would be good to pick one up on amazon.co.uk all uk/eire ready, but while there's any question that this might not happen then i'll get one from amazon.com - the $/€ exchange ain't too bad and when companies translate their headline prices they generally just change the sign and leave the digits as they were, so the $149 currently on officedepot.com for the 32gb version may well translate to €149 rather than the €110 ish that it actually is
All mere speculation, but I'm gonna be checking amazon.com in 10 minutes
Even if the gang at xda developers don't get their teeth into this, someone is bound to before too long - and webOS is sposed to be pretty slick in anycase even if it gets no android love

I'm hearing that they're shipping the EU stock from finland and hp UK to the US because of high demand over there...

I would take that with a pinch of salt, especially as there are probably lots of stock still in the US already that has not shifted yet.... Amazon.com for example

also wouldn't they need to repackage in some way, different regulations/manuals etc required and US power adapters?

Will give amazon a go at 3am PST

It would be fantastic to get honeycomb when the guys at XDA figure it out.

I have doubts about my order at officedepot coming through - but it does say delivery in 3 days - so who knows!

Quick question, Will amazon UK change? Or will I have to go through the US site? Will they ship to Ireland?

At the moment, the topic on slickdeals (a us bargain website which doesn't know about outside the us(!)) has over 500(!!!) pages of people ordering the tablets

most people seem to be ordering at officedepot (similar to staples) but the concern is that their inventory system isn't linked to their ordering system, hence the orders will be cancelled

as a result people are waiting for other online retailers to reduce the price on theirs (e.g. amazon!)

Link to the first page is below - I don't think it's against the TOS for me to link to it in these circumstances (and the fact we haven't seen any reductions in europe. yet)http://slickdeals.net/forums/showthread.php?t=3220862

I'm in for two at officedepot at the moment...

officedepot.com are all out and the HP website is gone back up to $400.

There is already a project underway to try and get Android ported to it (mentioned on XDA developers). Are there any US stores offering international shipping?

Great price. Will pick one up if I can get one in Europe at a similar price. Fingers crossed.

Any idea if these pads can have the operating system changed to something like android for example?
Just wondering for future use as HP won't be issuing updates etc.

There is no app store, it may not get future flash updates, but for 99$ its a steal just be aware out will only really be good for the web, watching videos, listening to music and picking up emails
