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

So yours is on the way now? Did the transaction show up on your Credit Card? Nothing showing up on mine yet but bank have said they have taken a pre authorization....

Cheers,

That car crash wouldn't have happened if the driver hadn't been on his HP touchpad at the time.
Think of the lucky escape we have all just had...!

It looks like the end of this round alright but i wouldnt be too upset, the market will respond to this demand and soon. Keep an eye on every angle, this could be the begininng of a shift by the rest of the tablet players, it has happened before for even larger margin.

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

Yes I have. I'm hardly going to lie and mislead people just to get a Tablet.

Exactly, doesnt contribute, just lets everone know how important it is to the universe and mankind that he gets one for €99, developer me arse, hes probably about 14

Doesn't contribute? Very rich coming from someone with 40 posts...

Anyone who has seen my posts on the Android forum would know that i'm capable of assisting the Touchdroid project. Considering you more than likely haven't, I don't blame you for being suspicious but I see no need for baseless accusations.

I just got the same email from Amazon:(

formatman · 24-08-2011 02:31PM

So rang Argos Tallaght again re my reserve which is valid from the morning

Girl said stock must have being there for it to be reserved , yet there was no stock for the people that showed up to collect reservations valid from today

I asked him about mine which is valid from the morning and she said that she doubts if stock will come in tommorrow but the reservation was all still active on the system

I said this reservation was on stock in another store which was requested for collection in tallaght ... silence followed by muffled conversation to manager in background .......followed by .....Well come in in the morning to see if it comes into stock ! .......

Look after your employees and the business will thrive..... in most cases. Happy workers = higher levels of Productivity. To suggest that Argos should look after a couple of hundred people for what is quite frankly, ****ty profit, over their own (thousands) staff, to me, if not feasible.

If I worked in Argos, and I said to my boss, can I nab one of those, and he said no, its for a customer, I would be well pissed...and so the negativity ensues. Think about it from the workers perspective, working in any company.

Just my personal opinion, and I am in no way affiliated to Argos, I have an order pending Amazon and praying it comes through.

**I spoke too soon, amazon order Cancelled also** GUTTTTTED.

You sound like an awfully nice person. A real non-assuming wishing well for others kind of guy.

/End sarcasm

And that's enough sniping between the two of us. Leave it.

skearon · 24-08-2011 02:38PM

Just got same email from Amazon too

sam27 · 24-08-2011 02:40PM

Im really surprised with how many people want this Touchpad. Are people really that desperate for a touchpad??

So what if he's only 17, all that matters is if he can actually do what he says he can. I don't particularly want him to contribute to the demise of WebOS but if he and others like him could create a WebOS/Android dualboot option, THAT would be AWESOME!

No real idea if that'd be at all possible though...

T0mmyM · 24-08-2011 02:43PM

Guys, stop turning against each other, it's just what the touchpad wants to happen!!!

If a customer called in and reserved something where I work there's no way I would let staff have it, how selfish can you be.

okidoki987 · 24-08-2011 02:48PM

If it comes out that that's what happened I will NEVER spend a cent in Argos again and make sure as many possible Boards members know about it to do the same.Hope someone from Argos HQ Ireland will be reading this thread

You won't spend another cent in Argos......until the next "bargain" comes along.
Can't blame Argos for all the hype, they are 10 times better than most of the internet companies around.
If they can get them for reservations, they would.
