    Just ordered two of the HP Touchpads.

    Now I guess I wait to see if they have enough in stock to fill my order. I figure I will sell one one on Ebay and what I make on that one It will cover the cost of the one I keep so I can get it for free.

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

    16 or 32 GB? Best Buy had them for $99 and $149 earlier but went out of stock real fast. What did you pay?

      They only had the 16gb. I paid $214 for two of them including shipping. I tried Best Buy too and they were sold out in a heartbeat. The Best Buy closest to me said they might get more tomorrow, but there is no guarantee.

      It isn't the greatest tablet in the world, but it seems pretty cool and will do all the stuff I want.

            I was checking amazon and never saw them for the lower price. I guess I missed that.

              You think the value will actually go up on an electronic device?

                    Bagged a couple last night on Barnes and Noble. For $100, it's a good toy for my daughter to watch videos on, and it's easy to tote to a coffee shop. Loving the VPN feature that no other tablets have.

                      I have a big pile of them sitting in my office.

                      There are 5 here now, and 2 more on the way.

                      Christmas shopping for the extended family is now done and out of the way.

                      People are Craigslist are getting $200+ for them.

                            they have their own proprietary OS, right?

                            is it possible to run things like Skype for instance on them?

                              There is no skype app, but skype functionality is built into their "messaging" app.

                                    They will be running android on them in within the next 60 days, for sure.

                                          Logmein was one of the companies that I turned up, that was in the process of making an App for WebOS. It's still possible that they will release it.

                                                Not sure BN still has them. Check the link I posted above. That one has the 32gb ones still available.

                                                Here are some good articles on them from today too:

                                                  I just checked. Looks like they are sold out.

                                                  Here is the link I used to order mine

                                                  last night I got them just around midnight. reading some comments on the site I got the link from some people are saying their orders have been canceled so hopefully they have enough to fill mine.

                                                        No problem man. I'm keeping an eye on the Slickdeals thread and will post any updates here.

                                                        That link above is currently the only one that is working.

                                                        BJ's is also selling the 16gb ones in store as of right now, for $99.

                                                        It's slooooow loading, but let it go and it will. Just popped up for me.

                                                            Keep at it. You'll get it and it will have been worth the trouble.

                                                                    http://www.newsfactor.com/news/Touch...d=11200CPNR9CW

                                                                    The good news for Hewlett-Packard is that its TouchPad tablet is finally selling like hotcakes. The bad news is that the company isn't making any more TouchPads.
                                                                    The TouchPad, which had been selling at $499 for the 16GB model and $599 for the 32GB when it launched July 1, is now being offered at $99.99 for the 16GB and $149 for the 32GB -- while they last. HP's web site has sold out of the tablet, as have Best Buy stores. Both companies said they will give a price match to any customers who bought the TouchPad at its previous prices.

                                                                    The Right Price

                                                                    Only last week, Best Buy reportedly had told HP it wanted to return unused stocks of tablets, having sold only 25,000 of 270,000 units in its inventory. HP resisted, and began implementing a variety of discounts to spur sales.

                                                                    Then, late last week, HP announced it will discontinue all its webOS-based hardware by the fourth quarter, including its Veer and Pre smartphones and the TouchPad. According to Cathie Lesjak, HP's CFO, the software side of the webOS platform is not being shut down.

                                                                    Ross Rubin, director of industry analysis for consumer technology at the NPD Group, said the $99.99 price is a "different value proposition" in the minds of consumers, a price point where they're willing to take a chance -- even on a discontinued product. By comparison, he noted, the original $499 price raised questions in consumers' minds about whether a purchase would pay off in the long run.

                                                                    Other Uses for webOS

                                                                    Rubin noted that "it's unusual" that a product like the TouchPad to be pulled so soon after its launch. The company had hoped to position the TouchPad as the key competitor to Apple's category-defining iPad , a position that is still up for grabs. Tablets such as Samsung's Galaxy Tab and Barnes & Noble's Nook Color "have sold pretty well," he said.

                                                                    Unless HP is successful in licensing webOS to other manufacturers, purchasers of the TouchPad could find themselves with a futureless platform. But some developers have announced on the Rootz Wiki that they are working to bring Android to the TouchPad, an effort that has been dubbed "TouchDroid."

                                                                    The Wall Street Journal reported last week that the company is working to have appliance and car manufacturers use webOS in their products. HP CEO Leo Apotheker said earlier this summer that HP would begin talks with other companies about licensing webOS.

                                                                    HP acquired webOS when it bought Palm in 2010 for $1.2 billion. At the time, the company touted webOS as one of the key reasons for the purchase. Some industry observers have speculated that, in lieu of webOS products, HP might choose to capitalize more heavily on the webOS-related patents.

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

                                                                                            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.

                                                                                                  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

                                                                                                  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.
