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.

Suppose main reason is to try android (always on iOS), anyone have experience of honeycomb on a tablet compared to iOS?

It's not android, it's webOS

So... once this madness ends what will the price of these things be on ebay/craigslist

They're showing up at about 130 euro plus on ebay from the US at the moment, but ridiculous shipping on top of that (and import duty). The thing is, most people who bought them in the US did so yesterday and so won't have received them yet, so there's a lot of resellers yet to come. For the sellers to make a profit, assuming they sell out in Ireland and the UK, I imagine we'd be looking to spend at least 150 euro. The demand will disappear once this frenzy is over though.

Tomorrow in PC world/curry's, today in harvey norman (sold out), and for any other retailer, it's anyone's guess.

When I rang PCworld Cork they told me all have been reserved for tomorrow at the lower price.

if it's anything like a lidl/aldi special then chances are against you getting it

i emailed pc world and they replied stating that there would be no reservations and to just queue up tomorrow. My problem is queueing for an hour with a three year old may not be fun........

Looks like Argos is the only hope for those of us with no credit cards and a reservation.

32GB on Elara gone to 0 now too. Not sure what's going on there.

Really hope I get my hands on one of these. I was even tempted to pay the full price! (except I'm flat broke

)

Picked up a 32 gig for 129 in Harvey Norman, Kinsale road Cork this afternoon. There was a steady stream of people buying and they didn't last long.

it says back in stock tomorrow, i'd say they will relist it tomorrow at the discounted price

My brother is crazy. He's going to Carrickmines even though they're supposedly sold out. To be fair he did reserve it but he rang them asking if they still had it and said we'll ring back but haven't.

Ya both 16gb and 32gb say back in stock tomorrow, hopefully at the lower price.

Coming up to 3 o'clock are no change on HPStore, so I'm thinking tomorrow we'll see most of the retailers drop the price.

I can't see that at all. What I see is:

0 Available to Ship
Unknown Restock Date

which could mean anything (though seems likely they will restock at the new price)

Edit: it's different in the search results and product page. mystery solved
