If you return the computer and intend to keep the tablet, the TouchPad will revert to the full retail price of $599.99. If this is more than you originally paid for the tablet and the computer together, you will be charged the difference."

Quote from 10/4 :
  • (through 10/6) Some people were able to place *new orders* to NCIX (if they had the item in their cart previously) and have them processed, price-matched & shipped within 1 day. (Confirmed by myself)
  • Lawson went live briefly, now out of stock. 16GB for $129.99 [bandtcommodities.com]. Orders are getting cancelled and refunded about 15 minutes after it went live.
  • Links are now dead, but pcRUSH.com had non-firesale prices: 16GB for $228.35 [pcrush.com] and 32GB for $258.26 [pcrush.com]. It was possible to apply promo code paypal at checkout for $25 off. Sales tax applies in CA. As of approx. 3 pm ET, "they have about 290 backordered for the 32 and 100 for the 16." Cancellation emails are going out as of 8/5 8:23 AM PST. "Unfortunately demand far exceeded the limited supply of stock on hand. Your order has been canceled due to lack of availability."
Quote from 10/4 :
  • TPs (OOS) have dropped in price at the HP online store, they're now at $219 for 16GB model. [hp.com]/$249 for the 32GB model [hp.com] (was 399$/449$ on 10/2). Both models are OOS.
  • 32GB model at $249 was shown in stock at shopping.HP.com for a short period of time around 3-4am EST 10/3, but everyone who ordered received a notice stating that the order was declined and that they should call a particular number between 10am and 10pm EST.
  • 32GB model at $249 was available again at shopping.HP.com around 5pm EST 10/3. According to sales rep, this was a glitch on the website. No confirmed orders so far.
Rumor only:
(Rumor date - 9/21) TigerDirect supposedly has 2500 more 32GB touchpads waiting to go live shortly in a crap bundle with a 32GB unit/AC Adapter/Belkin case for $199
(Rumor update - 10/3) TigerDirect apparently still has this TP stock ... no telling when they will put it on sale.
(Rumor update - 10/5) TigerDirect apparently still has 2,470 of the 32s just sitting in the warehouses + 330 of the 16s just sitting ...
(Rumor update - 10/7) TigerDirect: Their TPs will eventually be sold in bundles -- only at CompUSA B&M stores - will not be sold online at TD website. Probably another week or two before bundles go on sale at B&M stores. TP bundles will be in all stores to get people in the door for the holiday season. Again, will not be sold online at TD website.

I ordered 10 for store pick-up at OD before the price changed at 5 different stores using the cash method.

Now, when I check store stock after the price change it says OOS at all the stores.

Wow OD, how ethical of you!
They didn't even pick the damn item if I choose cash. This is why I hate OD...

This is the first time I think I've ever been to Slick Deals and certainly the first time I've been to your forums. This place is really hopping tonight, isn't it?

I've been interested in trying WebOS but didn't think I'd ever want a TouchPad - ironic it is that the product being discontinued gets me into buying it. I don't think I'd be that primed to buy but for the 1/5 price cut, though.

I find it curious that a lot of you are opting for the 32GB model. I wonder how many of you actually anticipate using the extra 16GB versus the people who are just buying the larger model because bigger is better. I personally think that for most everyone 16GB is sufficient on a tablet. I consider myself a power user, and I fill up new hard dives on my desktop systems months after installing them. But with my 1G iPad I haven't yet gotten close to filling its 32GBs, and most of what's on it is apps. Anyway, that's just what I'm thinking.

As for purchase, it's fun looking for the price drops on the web, but I'm certainly not overpaying $50 to OD. I wanted to go to Walmart anyway, so I'll probably do that in the morning. Either that or Amazon. Good luck, all!

It is just a rumor. This death will delay their launch a few more months to make sure it is not going to die because of customer frustrations or legal battles.

cali, that's why you're being a little bitch. there's a amendment that says the military can't attack the US. and we haven't used nukes in how long??? probably since before you were born. you're probably just a 16 yo little jerk off living off rich mommy and daddy, while i actually do something. a little thing i call defending your freedom. be a little more appreciative of ppl like me that actually get shit done.

No go at the Wal-Mart at 620 and 183. In Austin they had two of the 32 gigs in stock range up full price when I asked about the price they said I would have to bring in a add..
