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.

You could always try buying online and then if they won't give you the discount return it within 7 days under the distance selling act.

Seems like a lot of trouble to go to though.

Thats what people were doing on Amazon, even before there was any price cut all 3 versions (including the unlaunched 64GB) went to the top of the sales chart.

No, but it did mention between 6 and 12 days for shipping (if they get the stock to honour.. which they won't!).

Just watched this review. It is the business. Reviewer said he couldn't recommend it at $500 would if it were $50 cheaper

Cheers for the vid - I was wondering what I was buying.

You get an email as soon as you order. Just check the time on that.

Dixons and the Palmstore said they would regarding the Touchpads.

Probably if you bought them before the price drop was announced, unlikely they will if you bought one say today at full price.

Madness indeed. If you want to buy from a reseller, wait a few days until people receive their orders. Wheres the rush?

Most people who ordered more than one will keep one or two for themselves and family and try to dump the rest - the re-sellers market is going to be flooded and to compete with each other prices hopefully wont be much higher than cost.

I'm following your logic and giving up for the while, then looking at ebay in a week. It's going to be completely flooded - these things were never selling in the first place, and Android or not, they're still not most people's cup of tea. Right now, when most resellers havent even got theirs yet, and people are still excited/spent the last 48 hours hitting F5 and drinking coffee and just want it to end is the worst time since the drop to buy one.

Yeah, if you're going to get one from ebay, it'd be best to wait until at least a week after the sale when things have calmed down.
