Time to prime our F5 keys...

I wish they'd just sell it themselves direct from their warehouses with a lottery to determine who gets to buy the remaining stock. Dealing with websites dying under stress like Elara and shoddy practices in Misco/Argos just to get a Touchpad is getting tedious.

For somebody who's saying we should all be giving up / not caring, you're posting an awful lot here

not good for amazon lads just got this response on live help:

When we contacted the supplier for an update they informed us that they won’t be able to source this item.
As we can’t supply this item, it has been cancelled from your order and you have not been charged for it. Cancelled orders no longer appear in your order history.

Someone else posted that earlier, forget who

RADICAL DECISION MAKER HP will release more bargain Touchpad tablets soon, and has promised to continue to offer support for WebOS.

The Touchpad has been an unlikely hit since HP realised it didn't want anything to do with it anymore and contacted retailers to tell them to hurl them out of their shops at very low prices.

We've seen Dixons, PC World, Dabs.com, Best Buy and Currys all sell out in minutes as their bargain tablets hit the web, and varying degrees of dissatisfaction as customers failed to get hold of them.

Some retailers had low stock - Amazon had just three Touchpads in stock yesterday afternoon, albeit at full price. Others apparently were expecting delivery - Clove and Expansys said it looked likely that more might follow - and indeed they will.

"We had a great response to the new price and are now temporarily out of stock on hp.com and at many local retailers," wrote HP blogger and PR man Mark Budgell. "We will have more available shortly. Please keep an eye on www.hp.com/go/touchpad-availability. We will have a link up soon where you can subscribe to be notified when these products are back in inventory."

The really good news is that if you bought one at full price, or even low price, and then realised that the firm was dropping the tablets, you will still get support and service from HP. An over the air update is expected at some time for WebOS, and Budgell said that this will increase functionality, of course. µ

A shop is holding one for a customer until 4.30 if they do not collect it by then , they said i could have it . I wont hold my breath as I reckon a staff member will then take it.

Have you actually ever compiled a Linux kernel yourself or is this just a pipe dream of yours to help to get a Touchpad? :P

Reserved one on expansys yesterday afternoon, not too optimistic they'll get stock etc. However this is the reply I got when I queried my order today. I opted to bay by bank transfer, to ensure my card didn't get charged.

"Hello,

for the moment we do not know the price as our suppliers don’t offer it at discount prices at least not at this time so your order is on hold till we will have the confirmation.

You card has not been charged but the money has been reserved according the value of the order.

we are in talks with suppliers right now but some far we got no reply or confirmation about this from them or HP directly if they will honour this rebate.

If this is confirmed, we will contact all backorders and let them know the new price as soon as we will have confirmed information and asked them to RE-confirm the orders before shipping them out.

Best regards

eXpansys UK
HTC & Parrot partner

"

I got this email also, nothing was confirmed or re-confirmed, the first i knew was when I checked my credit card and the money was gone, then I got an email at 9am to say it was shipped at the higher price €429
