Even if you ordered by the 22nd from HP you still might not get one. I placed my order on the 2oth and still haven't revived an e-mail.

HP Shopping Canada | Touchpad FAQs

Q: How can I find out the status of my order from HP Shopping?

A: Click here to check the status of your order. Enter your web order number and order date and you will be shown your order status:

* If it shows Shipped, then your order has already shipped.
* • If you placed an order by Monday, August 22 and your status shows Admin, then your order is in queue. We are working through the large volume of orders, verifying payment details and seeking to source inventory for fulfillment. This process is taking longer than first anticipated. At this time, we cannot guarantee supply to all these orders but are working to supply as many orders as possible.
* If it shows Submitted, then your order is in review and we ask you to please check your order status again the next business day.

is it still worth it at 200$?,, craiglist has a bunch from 200-300 range, depend on the seller.

SumAznGuy 09-02-2011 01:39 PM

Even at $200, it isn't a bad price as long as there is decent enough support for it.
That you will have to ask the other guys who have one to see if there is a lot of apps for it.
Something to consider. Someone said how can programers write apps for this thing when they don't even have a unit to play with.

I haven't given up hope on mine but if it doesn't happen, so be it.

SkinnyPupp 09-02-2011 06:54 PM

I still don't get why people would rather PHONE support than email... like is it 1988?

StylinRed 09-02-2011 08:36 PM

Me, but to pick up my web order, do i need to line up after these guys?

I don't get why there's so much hype for this tablet. HP already stated they are killing webOS. Sure you can flash it, but what's so good about Android 2.3 when other tablets have 3.0 already.

This thing is only worth what it is being sold at, if you're looking to make a quick buck by reselling it on the secondary market, then good luck. HP is doing this to gain market saturation, not because they are going down under on one of their production lines.

If you're going to spend $200-$300 to buy this from the secondary market, spend the extra $200 on an iPad (and I HATE Apple but this thing is fast) or Galaxy Tab.

There is so much Hype cause its cheap. HP is killing hardware webOS development, not software.

webOS is faster than the galaxy tab, while navigating through the menus. Not to mention, it has far superior multitasking capabilities compared to android. Your additional 300 dollars for a Tab is an additional 2 tablets that I can buy with a touchpad. The touchpad is in a category of its own. So its not fair to compare it to another tablet that's 3 times its cost. Unjustifiable.

SkinnyPupp 09-03-2011 01:39 AM

HP isn't killing webOS, they are killing the hardware division.

The reason there is so much hype is that this is a legitimately good product for $99. Even $200 might be worth it, you can't get a better tablet for that price.

SumAznGuy 09-03-2011 07:43 AM

I wonder if there are anyone people lining up in Coquitlam?

Oleophobic 09-03-2011 08:18 AM

my plan was to wake up at 6 and check out kingsway. if there are only a few people in line then I would line up.

Woke up at 8:30 :fuckthatshit:

SumAznGuy 09-03-2011 09:57 AM

Last minute, decided to go check out the Coquitlam store.
They had 10 for sale but people were saving spots for other people. There was one guy who went to get an older lady from the mini van when they were about to open. Another fobby china couple had 2 vouchers and they were obviously together but the staff didn't care when people complained.
Needless to say I didn't get one, not that I thought I was since i went so late but to advertise one per house hold and not have a manager there was pretty sad on their part. If the staff was smart, they should have called the manager before selling the first unit, but they didn't.

Hondaracer 09-03-2011 10:30 AM

Is the 32gb worth $240 u guys think?

WebOS has lost it's support from HP, it's only going to be a few months without any security updates before this device will become a liability to the person using it. it's use in the future now relies on third party programmers willing to either work around the problems that WebOS brang to the touchpad or bring new operating systems to the table like Android or Linux (Debian/Ubuntu or something similar) also jailbreaking is an apple term, nothing else is jailbroken
