Just checked my Amazon account and it says that my Touchpad will be dispatched 25 August. I had the vague email last night about delivery dates but they must be firming up on stock levels.

For those that got in last night, check your account on the website rather than relying on emails...

Ordered at 12:07, still no shipping date!

Yes but you have 7 days to return the item no quibbles so its not a big deal tbh.

That is the retailer offering that, they are under no obligation legally to honour it..

The HP distributor that was showing 2,600+ in stock last night (all at old price) had none in stock this morning

garrkell · 23-08-2011 09:57AM

Mine has been like that since I ordered last night using PayPal, I wouldn't get too excited.

Online retailers have a legal obligation for 7 days cooling off period. Doesn't apply to bricks and motar stores.

Precentral, like many US based tech sites (cough Engadget) seem to report like they're the only place on earth. They mention BestBuy in that advert so I wouldnt say that applies to us EU (not to say they dont have more maybe) but that article unfortunately doesn't refer to us old worlders. Keep refreshing, you can always use your other hand in the hospital on your touchpad while you wait to get your refresh finger surgery

Thanks for the link though joe316, much appreciated

s8n · 23-08-2011 10:09AM

Dabs is virtually at a standstill

Under serious pressure I would say. I can see carnage when they pull the trigger.

Dabs and Elara are acting as if they've come under DDoS attacks.

LookingFor · 23-08-2011 10:10AM

My FNAC order from last night finally seems to have been confirmed for shipment

I was up around Blanch and saw small groups outside PC World and Currys. Heard Currys had none, PCWorld just four or five.

Are there any Euro retailers selling Pre 3s?

They pretty much have. Messy business.

Charlie Haughy · 23-08-2011 10:11AM

I emailed dabs yesterday about this, got this reply:

Dear Mr xxx,

The price of the HP Touchpad will be adjusted today, we hope in the next few hours. We are awaiting confirmation from HP.

These details will appear online, on Twitter and Facebook.

Regards, Coral

Would love to see the traffic stats after this is all over.

generalmiaow · 23-08-2011 10:11AM

The hpshop thing is random - their entire search breaks at the same time.

sham09 · 23-08-2011 10:12AM

Dabs is dead ?! :P

Suicide. Mentioning they are running the discount at an unspecified time is like saying "hey internet, shut down my shop for a few hours"

Think dabs is bad, check out expansys...dont think it will ever come back up!

supersparkz · 23-08-2011 10:14AM

Mine too. not awfully hopeful here.

Thephantomsmask · 23-08-2011 10:16AM

My fnac order for the 32gb seems to be confirmed, it has changed from awaiting bank conformation to order being prepared & will notify when despatched. Fingers crossed.

joe316 · 23-08-2011 10:16AM

Elara looks like its flatlining as we speak
