Since it's taking forever to load...I'd say yes. :1orglaugh

Diomed 08-22-2011 12:29 PM

Says DC Snapdragon with the info.. and the 32gig is the same price as the 16gig.. wtf?

candyflip 08-22-2011 12:32 PM

They might be trying to make a premium on the 16gb ones. Or it's just mismarked.

Do a quick google search on zones.com and see what it turns up. But as you have already seen, you have to be quick...very quick.

Diomed 08-22-2011 12:38 PM

I guess they look legit,

just wanted to make sure Im not getting some bullshit model or something.

Most places seem to be sold out but barnes and noble website still has them in stock.

Those will make very nice coasters. Although 100 bucks seems pricey. I pay 1 dollar each for my coasters.

Diomed 08-22-2011 12:44 PM

Well I just ordered from Zones.com,

I guess if they fuck with me there is always the good old chargeback.

My dad has an iPad with nothing but the apps that came with it installed. He hasn't gotten bitten by the app bug yet and from the get go...the iPad does what he wants. Email and Internet browsing.

My mom got one of these yesterday and out of the box, it has more slightly functionality than the iPad. But the basics are pretty much identical. The Touchpad, like the iPad has email, internet browsing, chat, video and music. It also has Flash, which the iPad doesn't.

Again, they don't get the app idea just yet. But from a typical user standpoint, they have pretty much the same gadget. One cost $599 the other cost $99. It's not difficult to see the value in that.

Give them a call 800-408-9663 they were sold out about 4 hours ago but their site is getting so much traffic they can't update it to show they are all gone.

So you may or may not have gotten one, give a call I was too late!

Luckily I bought 3 on Thursday night and will probably give away 2 to affiliates

God damn that is going to really throw me over the edge,

I spent forever placing that order. Someone help a brother out!

Well,

I just got the confirmation email that my order has been received.. So I guess we will see.

Yeah it seems like basically you are trading the ability to get a million different apps on the ipad for being able to do flash on the touchpad. Aside from that they look pretty damn similar other than the fact that HP will no longer be supporting them.

V_RocKs 08-22-2011 03:48 PM

16gb is selling on Ebay like hotcakes for $200 and the 32gb for $320... When Android port comes out for them you can probably get an extra $50 on each.

JayAllan 08-22-2011 05:10 PM

Barnes and Nobel screwed me on my order too. They took it and sent me a confirmation, then just sent me and email 15 hrs later saying that due to demand my order will not be filled. WTF is that?

Yep, just got mine as well. Made the order just after midnight last night and just got the email saying that they will not be able to fill the order.

Fuck.. sounds like this is most likely going to happen to my order today with Zones.com.

I was trying at Tiger Direct too.. reading comments on a blog post when someone mentioned zones.com, and I was able to place a "confirmed" order with them.. but the site was super slow, and I'm sure I'll end up getting jack shit for my 2 hour effort. But will let you know if it goes through.

As of now, the order was placed and confirmed. Knowing my luck today, I'll be replying with a denial message soon.

I won't get my hopes up until I have my FedEx shipping confirmation #.

kane 08-22-2011 08:27 PM

I got very lucky. I read a post on Woot that said someone bought one of these at a Radio Shack. So I stopped in at the Radio Shack in my town expecting there to be nothing and they had one 16gb touchpad left for $99. So I did get one. Haven't played with it much. I need to install a wireless network in my house first.

If you have a Radio Shack near you give them a call they might have one.

Good deal,

will check first thing tomorrow.

I am determined to get one at a fire sale price.

I've ordered about 20 from different sites and it looks like everyone is going to cancelled. Even Best Buy is messing with me now.

over here it was only directly on the HP website available - which broke down yesterday (good sign for a company that wants to concentrate on server technology)

when i finally got through there were no "buy now" buttons anymore which probably means that they are sold out

hp Australia does not even have them on there website

Diomed 08-23-2011 08:42 AM

Don't know why I didn't jump on the deal when I first heard about it here on GFY,

I guess I didn't know the real value of those things. I had assumed they were only $300 or so.

We got shipping confirmations on the three that I ordered.

The 4 we managed to snag here in town are already getting heavy use.

Just beat my face with your dick why don't ya.

Seriously though, congrats! Atleast someone I know got theirs.

Diomed 08-23-2011 11:24 AM

I was just told that my Zones.com order will most likely NOT be filled :thumbsup

I know there is another round of them coming to HP, but no idea when.

I'll probably miss out that time too.

They have them for sale on Craigslist local for 300. Fuck.

Kenny B! 08-23-2011 11:42 AM

Looks like there will be more available and smart phones for $75 for all you lucky EU peeps!

My girl has a coworker who got grabbed her one just in case. When he found out we got them, he said he was going to sell it. I let her know that you are interested. I'll drop you a line if she can grab it and bring it over some time this week :)

Pretty funny comment. :thumbsup

Diomed 08-24-2011 08:01 AM

Ok,

I finally got one today.. and not from my zones.com order (which will be canceled).

Picked up a 32gb today from my local BEST BUY store. I called them yesterday and they told me they were getting a shipment in that night and would be putting it for sale the next morning.

Sure enough, when I got there.. there was already a line of nutters waiting at the door, so I sat and waited with them for 20 minutes and then got it :thumbsup

Thanks to CandyFlip, because I probably wouldn't have gotten one without his posts to motivate me, I was going to pass.

But $150 for 32gb is just too cheap to pass up.

candyflip 08-24-2011 08:15 AM

What do you think of it so far? I just finished watching someone on mine via Hulu Plus.

dallasnovelty 08-24-2011 08:26 AM

Man I wish I could have gotten one :( every place was timing out. I want one so I can sit down more during the day and still be able to do stuff online. If anyone wants to hook a brother up just let me know
