    Jeebus people, you're all here waiting for one all day and then when it crops up you don't order it! :pac:

    I have ordered it off Amazon,out of stock as well.
    How the hell do I cancel FNC????:confused:

    Are you a troll? The hardware on this tablet is even better than an iPad 2, and for €99??? Just look at demo's on youtube, this thing is seriously impressive, even when the pricetag was high.

    Excuse me for not jumping on every bandwagon... Does that make me a troll?

    Just because you may have followed the evolution of this thing, why would you expect me to have done the same?

    An order through on FNAC and an order through on Amazon...

    .. I have my doubts about both!

    Roll on Elara and Dabs in the morning.

    Amazon don't charge your card until they ship.

    I don't get the hype?

    People are going like mad for a simple touchpad?

    Yes, there are more important to go all 'Sqquuueeeee' about.. but the price is a steal for a very nicely rounded Tablet. One that until recently, was priced 4x to 5x the price.

    You couldn't buy even the most basic chinese tablet\ZTE\Archos for the same price.

    It's not a case of 'if' Android gets ported, but when..

    I've just ordered from Amazon. Fingers crossed it'll come back in stock.

    Surely amazon have been in this situation before and wouldnt let hundreds of people order a product they couldnt get supply of. Well, ordered anyway :) We shall see

    As someone said, Amazon won't be getting stock back in of a discontinued product.

    And there are one or two people over on HotUKDeals who got estimated dates on their order.... I'd say it's a no-go for Amazon unless you got an estimated despatch date.

    YUS! Im guessing that was the total amount of stock they had as their all gone already? I wouldn't be surprised if they sold a few hundred in the space of 15 mins.

    Released by a company that is closing shop seems a bit risky, that's all. :confused:

    Risky how? They're not going to sneak into your house and steal the tablet back.

    You won't get long term support or firmware updates, but for €100 you're getting something with good specs that can surf the web, check email, watch a movie etc.

    I actually wanted one, it was this or a Herotab or similar. Delighted, I just need a browser and Flash support, not one bit bothered by anything else.

    Just a warning, by default Amazon includes you into a 3 day delivery for just under £6 sterling. You need to select the Super Saver Delivery button yourself.

    Personally I wouldn't bother.

    Leave the two orders open even if you only want one. That way you're covered in case one of them cancelled, and if you get two you won't have any trouble selling one at cost to someone who missed out.
