As you probably already know, there is a frenzy for the $99 and $149 HP Tablets. The thread in the Hot Deals is breaking records for number of posts and viewers.
Did you get one? How many (so far)? Doesn't matter how many are confirmed, just how many you ordered.
Are they for an Orphanage?

2 x 32G from HPA: being processed.
8 X 16G from CostCentral: a total mistake, I opened 4 tabs and each added two to my cart. It showed two as I completed order on one tab, and BOOM...receipt shows 8 units. However, I don't see anything in order history now on CostCentral. I'm pretty sure it's canceled even though I have only confirmation email and no cancellation email.
2 X 16G from OnSale@Amazon: ordered pretty late. Almost sure it'll be canceled though I see "shipping soon" for now.
4 x 16G from BN: Current status "Unable to process, blah blah". Guess that's also canceled as I placed it very late. I was just trying to make good use of the gift card a friend sent me.
So now, I'm just hoping for the two from HPA and refund to all my credit cards.

The OD order is listed as shipping and the BN order is cancelled, and the OnSale.com one is likely to get cancelled, so I'll probably only end up actually receiving one.
Four at the most. All for Christmas gifts to the kids (and me).
I didn't get any or try to. They look cool though.

Important Reasons Why Profiteering Fails on the HP TouchPad
1. They're being discontinued and will quickly lose value in time as newer technology comes out.
2. There will be so many who are first to put theirs on eBay that the auction market will be overly saturated.
3. There are many other choices with more potential that people are willing to wait and save up their money for instead of buying this device.
