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.

This isnt about Touchpads anymore, Argos Reservation numbers are the new 'must have'

I think we should start a fake bidding war! And then at the end of it when he agrees we all say no sorry you are a c*nt.

No ill feelings against any of the ones who got a Touchpad but I really wish "Look at my new Touchpad" posts would get their own thread. I'm getting a bit sick of looking at them.

If we drop the "I gots mah Touchpad, look!" posts, can we please drop the "I need Touchpad! Gimme reservation thx. I'm a dev I swear." posts too?

Or, just let people show their happiness, don't be so bitter :pac:

I was in Stephen's Green earlier so I popped into Argos on the off chance. New stock checkers allow you to check stock in all the other shops. There are none in stock anywhere in Dublin. Today anyway. So if you've no reservation, no chance.

He mentioned trading it for a bike from the "Cycle to work" scheme, they wouldn't have paid full whack for it either. Also he said if he had to take cash he'd only want €170 and that included touchstone and wireless keyboard, that's fair.

Had a reservation for yesterday thru saturday. Got a text this morning to say that it was in stock. Just collected it

I reserved Sunday night - Blackpool Cork

Thank you so much for posting this Tweaky. I hadn't included my mobile number with my reservation so didn't get the update this morning. After no stock turning up in Blackpool yesterday I had given up on the whole thing (more to do with another store not honouring a reservation where the stock was actually in store, rather than the reservation being dependent on a delivery) and was only half-heartedly glancing though this thread when I spotted your post.

Very happy now

Argos deserve a lot of credit over this.
Okay there are a few problems but at least they supplied the vast majority with their HP's.
They have taken some stick I'n last few days but have come up trumps.
Maybe people should remember that going forward.
Now if Argos are reading this and have a spare one in Dublin and are looking for a home............,,

Just found touchpad in my expansys.ie basket so i ordered it

lol

Thanks to everyone here in this thread, finally got one today in Argos. Very happy with it. Took a long time, had given up hope after the amazon thing. To the people who didnt get one yet, dont give up, there is still a chance you might get one, its low but its not completely impossible to get one, especially with more stock being released in the USA soon. Great help this thread was. Hopefully the lurkers here contributed nothing, but just took, and who got one because of this thread will at least sign up and say thanks. The least you could do.

Now to dig into this!

I have one in my expansys basket too, but I don't think that matters. It says pre-order in green on the basket page. It would probably just get cancelled if I placed an order anyway!

had another one reserved in the crescent, just rang there and was told it will be released to me at 3 or kept for me until sat...

If any of the two are going spare I would gladly take one , checked the crescent yesterday and they had no idea what I was talking about, but I have no reservation, not holding out much hope for my expansys pre-order :mad:

Does anyone know where to get a cheap case for it,cheaper than Argos even?

was planning on getting one of these if i can get my hands on a touchpad at all
i have the same kinda thing for my ipod classic and it does the job - perfect to protect it if you're throwing it into a bag or something.

Can we keep this thread about the touchpad?
Bit selfish to derail the thread just because you've gotten one yourself.

It can't be that hard to source one or just read the other posts on here that state the soft iPad skins work on it...

I was gonna say the same thing. People keep posting nonsense.

celj, did you give up your extra reservation? Which shop was it made for?

Ebay would be the best best, I'd expect DealExtreme to come up with Touchpad cases as well shortly given that its reached cult like status now...
