Are you sure they open at 10 countrywide? I'd say half 9.

Half 9 to start queuing????

Definitely, especially for the dublin stores. Only going to be 3 or 4 per store supposedly, need to be there a few hours before hand at least.

Is HN Naas sold out then? They seemed to be the last resort as they got in new stock today I think they said.

Well gents I am now the proud owner of a 32GB touchpad. Got one in carrickmines. There are no more in stock at any Harvey Norman stores in the country. Cheers fellas!!!!!!

Give a quick review? Worth it for an ipad 2 owner who has a touchpad reserved?

Do you think it will be possible to port over Android OS soon ?

think he meant "no more" not "now more"

This thread moves too fast! I went in and the dude in the computer section immediately knew why I was there and said there none in stock anywhere, when I told him I had a reservation he just gave one to me. Apparently they sold out in 27 minutes!

there are developers working on it at the moment over here

I'd reckon there will be a few beta releases and then a release candidate in a few weeks.

take jervis sc in dublin, they dont open til 9. would people set up a queue outside the centre or would it be like a 100m free for all from the door to pcworld?

Just been to HR Carrickmines, all gone 90 minutes ago, and none in other stores.

They will set-up a que. They will ask what you are in the que for, then its first come first serve. They will give one to the each person in the que as they go down the que. Its not like the doors open and everyone runs into the store :pac:

HP Germany has them for sale online at the same price as harvey norman, no change on the irish site YET though.

Squeeonline

Tried to get a lift to Naas with a friend but he's not interested. (*cough* w4nk3r *cough*)

I guess there's no point in going in at 5pm when I can get out there next...

Early tomorrow out to currys/pc world then.

TimeToShine

Local PC world didn't know anything about it, just rang them. I'll pop in tomorrow at 10 anyway just in case.

They said they get new prices tomorrow morning.

It's actually genuine, But I assumed it'd be taken as a joke.

Edit: I've an iPad 2 which I won, perfectly happy with that

You serious?

Got the last one at Carrickmines! 32GB for 129€ reduced from 579€

rang at 11.30 am and booked it, blessed.

Literally picked up the last unit and wanted a 2nd but last meant last so cannot help out others. Guy there said even they cannot buy them and that no more of them were expected in. Lad there also reckoned HP would break them for components as there was good quality speakers and screen inside.

Cheers once again lads, thanks for the help

clicked through on the german "buy now" link there, looks like their server is down so you know what to expect when it hits the irish store

Yes, when you've been on boards as long as I have you realize there are genuine people who are helpful and friendly. Obviously you have to ignore the numptys who aren't, but It's worth a try.
