lol. And you call that number and it says their sales and auditing dept is closed and that they open at 8:30AM EST. Looks like someone is still asleep.

im hawking amazon and newegg, trying to get another one at a lower price

if i'm able to do so, and for some reason can't cancel my B&N order (assuming it keeps going through), i'll sell it to someone at price ($115, 16GB) if they want it

32G sold for 215 in about an hour after the auction was out of the index queue and searchable. Is nice!

Hopefully HP opens the floodgates this week and everyone that wants one will have it. TouchDroid seems to have a lot of momentum. I haven't followed the progress of the xda group.

lol. The number for B&N says their hours are 8:30a-11pm EST but the message still says closed. Guess they don't want to take all those calls.

Could this hardware potentially run android?

Also do they executives at HP have their head so far up their ass they do not see how they could easily be in the tablet business if they were not determined to use their own OS.

Its kind of like.




There is not room for more than a couple of operating systems, most people are not going to drop $400 on a device with a niche OS that is probably going to be abandoned after failing to catch on.

Oh WAIT!

That is exactly what happened. HP touchpad early adopters PWNT.

looks like they did update it to out of stock on the website now though.

Have you guys ever seen an address (PO Box) come up as verified/confirmed on paypal, but when you get the transaction receipt from eBay on your shipping label, it shows unconfirmed?

Uh... many are getting refunds.

http://www.zdnet.com/blog/mobile-news/hp-touchpad-hp-and-best-buy-to-refund-price-differences-for-early-buyers/3857

There's plenty of room in the market for another tablet OS, considering the current competitors are horribly underwhelming. That said, Palm bombed the release of webOS in the first place, then sat on their hands for years, and then HP bought them and did an even worse job of delivering products.

If the Touchpad had been released in February when it was originally announced, it would've been directly up against the Xoom and might have had a prayer of selling well. Instead, it was 6 months too late and here we are.

Apparently they're also having a backlog in processing credit card authorizations so guess we'll see. Still can't get through on the phone but that's what someone posted who supposedly did.

what a terrible weekend to be away from the computer or any news outlet. i know i'm gonna miss this deal unless HP releases another batch. all of my local BBs, Wal-Marts, etc are sold out.

signed up for newegg's price alert, but who knows when and if they'll drop it.

I ordered a little before 7:30 and just have "In Process: Not Yet Shipped" on the actual order details page and the "can't be processed" message if I click my account-order status. And wtf, my call must not be too important if you can't take my call and are telling me to call again later.

"Just got off the Phone with B&N Supervisor
Customer Rating
Posted August 22, 2011, 1:34 PM EST: Just spoke with B&N Supervisor regarding my order (2 hour hold time). She notified me that orders purchased yesterday after 12:30AM (Pacific Time) will not get their order honored. She said the tablet went on sale on the website at 12AM and by 12:30AM their inventory had ran out. I asked why then was I able to get an order number and pay for the item if there was no inventory? She replied that the overflow in orders caused the system to fail and that I will be refunded in the next 2 business days. I suggest looking to buy them elsewhere before they're all gone at this crazy price."


don't think anyone knows wtf is going on.
