Obviously you cant make a reservation on the Argos website, but is there any point in ringing my local store in the morning to see if they have any stock, and if its possible to reserve them?

You'd be wasting your time doing that TBH.

I don't know man, the touchpad has a 1.3 megapixel webcam, iPad has .3 megapixel I think? HP also has a better and faster processor, the same resolution screen. Not as many apps but at least you can set it up without being a slave to i-tunes. Its way handier to put music and videos onto than having to sync with i-tunes. Just throw whatever you want onto it. And for anyone who hasnt actually spent an hour messing with a HP touchpad, don't knock it. The webOS works really well, I was all android android android before I got this and now it wouldn't bother me to just use the webos.

And when the general consumer and teen sees that they will be like.... Oh my friend has an iPad, I love that white color. I think im gonna get the white one! Also I mean I don't know why "itunes is a slave" as it runs great on Mac and it's a nice easy way to hold everything together. I mean come on, does your mum know how to use VLC player? Also my iPad is so easy to put crap on it, I just wi-fi sync my iTunes tv shows and albums on there!

iTunes is the worst phucking program in the world I swear. Move a song..... "!". Reformat laptop... "this iPhone is sync'd with another iTunes library, erase the whole phucking thing before putting anything on". "do you want to download itunes x.o.x... install quicktime", "there is a new update available for your iphone".... ugghhhh

Irritating program/10

The OS is rather slick, reminds me a lot more of HTC Sense, then say, iOS or Android. A lot of spinning panels and flicking them upwards out of sight etc.

Oh well, I didn't win at the HP tablet truffle hunt.

I have my sights on an Archos 80 G9 just after Summer.. that'll do.

Seemingly, this generation of Archos tablet have 'normal Market access', I'll believe it when I see it..

Ghost Train · 25-08-2011 01:12AM

Lots of 1 star reviews on amazon since the cancelled orders

banchang · 25-08-2011 01:30AM

I see Steve Jobs resigned on foot of the slump in iPad sales due to the flood of HP Touchpads hitting the market.

That'll do Donkey, that'll do.

I'll get my hat.

- To walk around holding while you wear a t-shirt that says "I got one, where's yours?"
- To drop on the ground and cover in food because you don't give a damn when you got it for 89 quid.

I paid with PayPal on FNAC. I just checked and the money is back in my account. Not a good sign I suppose! Although PayPal still has the transaction as "pending".

Nah, he must've looked around at the competition and thought to himself Apple doesn't need him anymore.

If you've a reservation you should be notified when its in,if you don't have one you've probably no chance of getting one no matter how many come in.

iPad has a FAR superior processor, crappy front camera, good back camera. No need to use iTunes from next month either. And it will still be supported. Comparing the two is stupid, compare the Touchpad to crappy Android tablets like the Xoom.

Apologies if this has been posted already.

I am still looking for one and this only makes me want one more!
