HP Touchpad: 16GB $99, 32GB $149 (Refurbished) + shipping

It's kind of fun being one of the sellers, now! Should turn a nice little profit on this venture.

Quote from masterz13 : I got my order confirmation at 7:20pm EST, but I've yet to receive a shipping confirmation. I'm guessing within the next half hour?

Same here. I got order confirmation at 7:36pm EST but no shipping confirmation yet. FYI got the 32 Gb from local Ebay and not CA or UK, after countless refresh at both the confirm order page as well as paypal payment page.

I had 2x 16GB touchpads in my cart before the sale went live, and right as it did the prices changed and I clicked complete order, then after an eternity the page loaded and kept telling me I needed a stupid phone number associated with my address before it could ship, but by then the server was hosed and I had to keep trying for 20 minutes till I could add a phone number and by then it removed the touchpads from my cart :-(

I was able to order 2x 32gb touchpads through ebay.ca but that was at 30 minutes after it started.... they accepted my paypal payment but who knows if that means I got one or if they'll refund it tomorrow.

Got screwed over because they wanted a stupid phone number....

It's possible but a lot of work. Involves the Android emulator, a custom image and a bit of work

double post

Quote from mosh5382 : I finally got one earlier tonight (32GB) so thumbs up (assuming it is delivered as expected). Will I actually have any use for it or will it become the next Nintendo Wii that has been collecting dust for years after my epic quest to get it? I'm not sure and frankly I don't care now that I've got one. I won't even use it. I will put it on my kitchen table and hold a ritualistic ceremony to honor it. I will force my wife and kids to walk around said table and praise the all mighty Touchpad. I will caress it and night and if anyone ever wants to take it they will have pry it from my cold dead hands. Now, my life is complete.

Bwahahahahahaaa... REPPED.

Quote from observenreflect : It's not a crime to complain about shipping prices, especially when you come with the expectation of getting a out-of-store price 100/150$ tablet. Tax is understandable, but $20 for shipping? It should be more like $10. And if they were really cool, it'd be free. Of course, this deal is still hot, and of course shipping should not deter anyone from enjoying the tablet.

Why did you expect $100 and $150? Because the previous sale of touchpads? HP never advertised this sale to the public...it was leaked by an employee. If you want to feel bad for anyone, feel bad for the poor HP employee who really wanted one of these but didn't get one because the Slickdealers gobbled them up. I'm sure they would gladly pay the extra $19 shipping if you hadn't bought theirs.

Thank you, I got in at 4.38 (oregon) so guess a bit more of a wait for me

Yes, I understand $19 for shipping on a $99 tablet is a huge ripoff. Yes, I know it probably costs around $8 or 9. Did you guys not see it right there underneath the price? Did it say anywhere that shipping should be free?

Sometimes I just can't believe people on SD. Yes, we are SDers trying anything to get the best price but this is like trampling people at Walmart to get $20 off a blender.

Quote from bonapartist : Not that anyone cares, but it took me about 50 minutes of pulling out my hair until I finally got one today. The Ebay.CA worked better for a bit seemingly but it finally went through on the US site. I wanted a 16gb but got stuck with a 32gb. It's sad that my 150$ tablet ballooned to 185~$ after tax and shipping... Now I'm thinking about how I could of bought a netbook or ultraportable which can do REAL work that I REALLY need and how this tablet is just a goddamn toy. Mixed feelings... I'm absolutely NOT one of the people leaving negatives reviews for it though.

It's not for real work. It's for access to email, internet and apps in locations where a laptop isn't practical. Think meetings, the gym, coffee shops, restaurants, bed.

btw, does anyone have a good website for crazy isht i can do with this thing? i have no idea what cyanogen is and what the advantages of putting android on the thing are.

Lots of negative feedback about the shipping. I've left my feedback too. It's robbery.

I kind of thought the same thing when I payed for a bundle a few months ago. But keep in mind this was released only 4~5 months ago with over $300 worth of the latest hardware alone. With or without the likely Ice Cream Sandwich port, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised what an awesome device this is.

Especially if its your first tablet.
