I guess it would be a futile endeavour to go to Costco and London Drugs to try and score one now.

I snooze.. but i just ordered a 32GB one from BB. I think they're booting some orders or ppl are canceling from time to time. Keep refreshing your cart, but make sure your info is pre-entered and ready to submit.
Let's see if it goes through.

i was gonna phone in on monday and try to order one
i bet the holding times on monday will be insane lol
the only way i can see best buy honoring this deal is if there really is 200k units in a warehouse somewhere
OR if best buy US ships their stock to canada

smart move or no? | From RFD: [Elect] *MERGED* HP Touchpad 16gb 99.99 and 32gb 149.99 EVERYWHERE!! - RedFlagDeals.com Forums Quote:
Hey guys
Just to let all of you know who havent been able to get one, I just ordered one through HP.ca website.
They are advertised on main page as 100$ for 16 GB and 149$ for 32GB.
However when you go to pay you will be charged 499$ which comes to 565$
I just spoke with a guy at the customer severice number 1-(800)-752-0900 who assured me you will only pay the 149$ and you can call back on monday if it is not back to your credit card, he said they may only charge 149$ on CC but assured me numerous times you will be completely reimbursed on Monday if not. He actually told me im about the 108th caller who has called about this so obv some others are aware as well
I only bought one cause im not a greddy pig and thats all i need for me, guy said none left and not a lot left for Canada so anyone who is interested should order soon.
Best Slick

Not sure if you can do that with Android. TouchPad is slow out of the box, so I imagine Android will be even slower.

TouchPad SW is slow, not the HW. And it should be possible to OC with Android.

Is it safe to say that running android is almost a guarantee on this device? Since HP is discontinuing this product and there will be no security program to prevent running a droid on it?
