Got the cancellation email today from Datavis. Fed customers with a bunch of lies and eventually had to cancel everything. Pretty ironic though, instead of consumers trying to find it through retailers, the retailers were trying to find it through distribution centers lol.
But my order with NCIX went through today. Ordered the first day they had it for a price match. Got pretty rude emails from the ncix guys when I asked them about it a week ago but seems like it went through.
I might be letting this one go since I already have the Transformer but I'll see. Let me know if you're interested  | |

| HP TouchPad: Hewlett-Packard Announces Another Batch Of webOS Tablets Quote:
HP TouchPad: Hewlett-Packard Announces Another Batch Of webOS Tablets
The recently deceased HP TouchPads are rising from the dead, slowly creeping toward America...
In a blog post on the company's site, HP Social Media Strategist Mark Budgell announced that Hewlett-Packard is manufacturing more of its discontinued TouchPads to meet newfound "unfulfilled demand."
On timing and quantity, Budgell had this to say:
We don’t know exactly when these units will be available or how many we’ll get, and we can’t promise we’ll have enough for everyone. We do know that it will be at least a few weeks before you can purchase...A limited supply are coming and it will be a few weeks before they are available. As we know more about how, when, and where TouchPads will be available, we will communicate that here and through email to those who requested notification.
This may be the absolute final batch of TouchPads, as Budgell says that HP "is discontinuing the development of webOS devices and is winding down device operations within our fourth fiscal quarter 2011," which ends October 31. On the other hand, some think that the TouchPad could get a new lease on life if HP spins off its PC business. During an interview with Reuters, HP's Personal Systems Group head Todd Bradley spoke about the possibility of a spinoff and spoke about the importance of tablets: "Tablet computing is a segment of the market that's relevant, absolutely."
As for price of the next batch of TouchPads, the HP blog says that it will be up to the retailers, and it is unclear whether HP will offer the $99 price point that led to such buyer demand in the first place.
Following incredible demand for the discounted units,Fast Company recently reported that, thanks to the fire sale, the Touchpad "could soon be the second best-selling tablet of all time"; though, considering HP only initially shipped between 500,000 and 1 million Touchpads during their initial run, the HP tablet is still far behind the iPad, which has sold 28.7 million units, according to recent data released by Forrester.
Those interested in the device should follow the HP Next Bench blog, which will continue to make announcements about the availability of the next (and possibly final) batch of tablets. You can also check out SlickDeals.net, which features current HP TouchPad offerings around the web.

Yeah I don't understand how they'll be able to make more and sell them at $99 considering the first ones were sold at a loss. As well they're going to be continuing to provide software updates for the device.

It might be cheaper for them to finish that commitment than it is to pay off the contract.

just thought of another thing
since they are trying to sell webOS, the more OS device they get out the more it is worth.
Basically they arent doing a lose-lose deal

Sorry to the guys who PMd me about the TouchPad.
Seems like NCIX is pulling the same thing that datavis pulled on me. Selling the item they didn't have in stock Now they need to order from their "supplier" but I remember reading that Canada has no more TouchPads. Quote:
Your order has been processed, but one or more of the item(s) on the order is currently out-of-stock at all of our pick-up branches and needs to be purchased from our suppliers. In lieu of this email, we have already placed an order from the manufacturer for the item(s). We are making every attempt to minimize the waiting time for your order. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and we appreciate your patience.
If you ordered more than one item and would like to find out if any other items on the order are ready to be picked up first or would like to know further details about your order, please do not hesitate to email or call us. Otherwise, you will receive email notification as soon as inventory becomes available.
| Sucks they have to hold my funds until they give me the email saying it was cancelled...
