I'd like to know too
reps from FS told me they won't be getting anymore since the product is discontinued.

Of course if anyone has inside information I'm hoping they actually do have a ton in the warehouse waiting to be sold

Cloud storage

parm104 08-20-2011 12:19 AM

Staples and London Drugs will not have anymore in stock and they will be selling them in stores that's for sure...Doesn't matter how many words you put in caps lock, they simply don't have them.

The only way you'll get one is by buying them online...If they come in stock again, staff members will simply be buying them before any of you.

At this moment, stores like Costco will be your only bet. Today was basically the only day to get this.

jeedee 08-20-2011 12:42 AM

:okay:

bcedhk 08-20-2011 12:43 AM

dont expect stock to come in till probably monday. But like Parm104 said, im sure 90% of the inventory will be taken by employees already.

save your $99 for gas instead!

Senna4ever 08-20-2011 12:46 AM

What a shame to just kill it after less than 2 months on the market. I thought it had potential - maybe the second generation would have been worth buying, but I guess we'll never know now.

Heh...$99 buys me almost 2 months worth of gas.

Employees already got a discount prior to the price drop (they got a certain rate too) so most of the employees who want it probably already have it already and just need a price adjustment

shawn79 08-20-2011 12:51 AM

employee got $64.99 + tax

webOS sucks, cant really do much as of now. Like everybody else lets hope this device can be hacked into an android one day.

Nssan 08-20-2011 01:00 AM

if someone got one that wants to let go , pm me..

ForbiddenX 08-20-2011 01:02 AM

Lol I'm going to price protect the one I bought a week ago at the first employee pricing.

Really don't like webOS but the girlfriend loves it...

Can't complain about the 16GB price though.. I paid more for my Kobo -.-

Oleophobic 08-20-2011 01:03 AM

lol
apparently it sucks hard

Fondle: HP Touchpad - The Digital Reader

ShadowBun 08-20-2011 01:05 AM

would be nice if everyone can price protect against employee pricing :fullofwin:

Meowjin 08-20-2011 01:10 AM

Employees will be getting them regardless if it isn't in stock. Hp is promising to fill orders for staff by the 31st. Also I work for london drugs @ HQ

LOL I love how people who don't own the product keep commenting on the Touch Pad's quality based on online reviews.

For $60-$150...regardless of which end of that spectrum you paid, the device works wonderfully for many uses. No one in their right mind can logically buy this product and expect it to COMPETE with an iPad or an Android tablet.

However, multi-tasking works like a charm, You Tube works like a charm, browsing on it with flash, not a problem. Want to play one of the most popular mobile games, Angry Birds? Not a problem. Any problems with Skype, nope, none! No longer have a use for it? Turn it into a picture frame. Either way, for $100, you cannot find another device that does the above listed things well. I've had this Touch Pad for a little over a week now and have yet to have any complaints about it. Other than the fact that the apps are limited, this is a great overall device.

Either way, rather than reading online reviews of a device that EVERYONE knows has been abandoned, pick one up and make your own decision. So far, in this thread, only one person has had a complaint. Others seem to be pleasantly surprised with the performance and bargain that they received.
