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.

WebOS is a great OS, so I wouldn't worry too much if Android wasn't ported. The only problem with WebOS is its lack of Apps.

how hard would it be for a pretty techy guy but with no experience of this kind of thing to put android on the touchpad after these guys release their work?

Id say Elara are probably getting them from the same supplier i spoke about earlier, i rang them and they are in discussions with HP about the price..

Unfortunatly they are a distributer can cant be bought from without an account..

There stock has gone up dramatically to 2000, so it looks like all these online resellers have cancelled preorders at the higher price..

It's speculation at this point. It'll amount to following instructions on a thread somewhere, most likely.

It says "Details of price drops to be decided by end of today" as of about 45 seconds ago. So much for getting any work done...

I went to down to little island and was told the same thing around 12.00, I asked would he check the stock to see if there was any left out in the kinsale rd store and was told they were all gone as well.

There are tablets with similar hardware running android. Shouldnt be much of an issue considering other things that the android modding community (xda forums) have achieved.

Elara seems to be the best bet so. they might have them back up at Midnight.

Menas

Best buy have sold all the 250,000 touchpads that they had in stock!

Why midnight?Surely it would be close of business today?

If it's not too cheeky (I got a 32GB one in HN Naas

) - anyone know of covers going for a reasonable price!

According to elara, that depends on HP. If we are to believe that it depends on when HP communicates this and whether elara update their site out of hours (seems likely enough, as they have done this before).

Seems like HP would be inundated with emails from retailers asking WTF is going on.

Just a thought really, seeing as they said the Price Drop will be decided today but also saying they won't have stock until tomorrow when they actually do have stock.

voxpop

How did HN get the drop and start selling today for the reduced price ?

Not so sure - I got there around 12:30 - the place was pretty mental, but the sales guy said myself and my mate got the last two 32GB ones (one each) - I think they really did sell out fast....
