Thank you for your interest in the HP TouchPad

HP Small and Medium Business Customers

We have received unprecedented orders as a result of the tremendous discount offered. This is clear confirmation to HP there is huge interest in building a webOS community. We apologize for any difficulty you may have had in ordering on the web or through the phone this weekend; it was as a result of selling out of our current inventory.

Your order has been captured and you should receive a confirmation over the next 48 hours.

Additionally, some of our customers may have experienced a pricing error while purchasing on August 20th and 21st. We are in the process of ensuring every order is honored at the discounted price and will send you confirmation via email.

Should you have any questions, we can be contacted at 1 800 888 5858 option 1: Though we are expecting significant call volumes with extended wait times over the next 48 hours, we ask for your patience and we are committed to our relationship with you and to delivering the best technology solutions for you and your business.

Sincerely,
Your HP Small and Medium Business Team
from: HP webOS - High connectivity, stability and security | HP® Official Site | U.S.
Anyone think that the webOS support will start up again?

I was just going to post that. Only concern is that the message was in regards to the American HP site.

otherwise, the CDN hp site still has 149.99 32gb units for sale

-regarding webOS support, seeing as alot of the devs are rushing to getting android on the tablet, i think not. I dont know much about the webOS, but unless it is genuinely the second coming of Jesus, i dont see it taking off

I don't know why they bothered in the first place. They never had a chance in hell against the iPad or Android with this crap.
Reminds me off:

put in my order at the near by bestbuy here in new york during my trip.
they let me pay today and they said more stock would be arriving on the 22nd. hopefully the 5 i ordered goes through. assuming they do, does anyone still want one? 3 of em 16gb, 2 of em 32gb. keeping one for myself, giving one to a friend and one to my brother. there's 2 16gb units left over lol

also ordered one from the hp website incase the best buy ones dont go through.

you think they will charge us the original 170$ for the 32gb OR 560$ full price on your creditcard and then credit us back the money they owe us?

seems like a lot of hassle but i ordered one from HP as well.

i bet the phone hold times on monday is gonna be INSANE

Yeah good luck guys who are waiting to call HP come monday morning. Its going to be a barrage

HP Canada should just automatically honor the pricing to not have to deal with the flood of calls. The US site already said they would.

i think hp will HAVE TO change their shit online and automatically give people the discounted price just to avoid all the bullshit calls from people wondering about it

i could see hp canada charging full price to people who don't bother calling and getting the price-adjustment

with that being said



if HPs phone line gets too busy could i just call my credit card company to cancel the order? or cancel my order online somehow through HP

Hopefully they would automatic change their pricing.
Ordered a 32 GB from hp canada too.

Either way, if they manage to ship it out and charge us at regular price,
they have a 30 day full refund policy.
