Since everyone is asking for people to get them one when they can't find one on their own, let's try to keep the requests to this thread here:

HP.com states that they are trying to fulfill orders and may have leftover stock

Also, more information on orders placed through HP.com
As of the 23th, your best bet is HP restocking if you dont have a pad.

There is also Newegg but we may have to see.

We have opened the next chapter for webOS, and we understand that you must have many questions. Yesterday we announced that we will focus on the future of webOS as a software platform but we will no longer be producing webOS devices. While this was a difficult decision, it's one that will strengthen our ability to focus on further innovating with webOS as we forge our path forward. Throughout this journey, our developers will continue to be a vital part of the future of webOS.

We will continue to support, innovate and develop the webOS App Catalog. Our intent is to enhance our merchandising and presentation of your great products and to continue to build our webOS app ecosystem.

As many of you are aware, we are currently scheduled to hold many developer events around the world. We are planning to continue with these events, however, due to the recent announcements; the nature of them will change. These updates will be posted on our events registration site this coming week. We are eager to present to you the updated strategy for webOS and to hear your feedback.

Lastly, I wish to express our sincere appreciation for your ongoing support for webOS and the many teams responsible for it here at HP. This is a particularly dynamic time in the mobile industry and sometimes tough decisions need to be made about not only what to do, but also what not to do. This has been one of those times. Together with our great webOS developer community, we are confident that we will meet the challenges ahead and build momentum for optimal success.

We will be communicating with you frequently over the next few weeks and we look forward to hearing from you throughout this process.

Thanks for your support

Richard Kerris
VP webOS Developer Relations

It may be a futile, doomed effort, but they aren't killing and totally orphaning the Touchpad. Yeah, it's going to be limited, but it's ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS! A 9.7" tablet with Gorilla Glass screen for a C-note. Hell, I'm gonna get one just cuz! There's a Kindle app, so BAM!!! $100 eReader!

My mom has about 30% eye sight in one eye due to a botched cataract surgery. She can't drive anymore, and she needs larger print to read stuff. On the computer she does ok, but she needs the icons to be super big. I let her use my work iPad for a while and she loved it because she could make everything bigger by pinching and expanding. The touch screen was easier for her to use and get the information she wanted. We can't afford an iPad, or any other tablet at the MSRP, so this will be perfect for her needs. I'm hoping there's an app that will also read the on screen items to her out loud, but we'll see.

[quote name='PaulDE01']I was there when they opened (I ordered one from BB.com this morning but was looking for accessories, none there apparently) and they were sold out...I guess they had enough for instore pickups.[/QUOTE]

I figured this was the case when I saw no one walking up with them. I'm researching accessories now, not really much to choose from.

Oh and good to see another Delaware CAG, have not seen another one around yet.

I should have mentioned I ordered mine Friday night when this thread was first posted. Got the email 15-20 min ago.
 
Got a CC fraud alert email/call from my VISA card.

They inquired about my:
Radioshack $499 order (32GB TP order)
HP $150 order (32GB TP order)
Walmart $99 order (GoW 3 controller bundle)
Zavvi $25 (Deus Ex CE order)
Best Buy $20 order (GoW triple pack)

All because of this damn site. lol.

Dont give up on the HP Small business site, I just got through and ordered 2 of the 32gb. Each page took a very long time to load throughout the process but I do have an order number and a confirmation page with no crashes.
 
I ordered a BB in store pick up last night. The BB has been open for about an hour now but I haven't gotten a come pick it up email. The status says Confirming Store Inventory and I can't cancel it. Should I just wait for an email or should I head down there?

EDIT: NVM. Just got the email. Item not available. :'(

Same story for me, but I can tell you about what happened this morning. Was second in line. Store only had units for those who had ordered online. No one had received a ready for pick up email and the store wouldn't release them until someone had gotten one. So now, I'm still in the holding pattern. Would've just ordered one from Amazon but I was in Toysrus with my son picking out his potential birthday presents so I missed out on that. Once they do release them, then we'll have to go through the craziness of the getting the price adjustment which the store said they would not do in-store because they were bb.com orders.

I'm shocked I didn't get a call/email from my bank regarding the penny guide transaction I made and then cancelled from BB about 2 weeks or so ago.;)
 
OK. I got another question.
I ordered one from the HP SMB site. I printed out the confirmation but I can't see any status when I try to look it up. The only numbers on the confirmation are Order/quote number and a customer number. When I put in the Order/Quote number, it says no orders found. When I put in the Customer number it shows an order to Dallas. I don't live in Dallas. ??

Definitely. I lost all hope until I found the order search page on the HP SMB site.

If you got an order confirmation email, input the Web Order number you received into the Web Order field, and use their (HP's) date system of the day you ordered, and the order should pop up. Mine is currently at the "Admin" stage and says delivery should be 8/30. Who knows at this point, but I'm hopeful.

I think I just pulled off a miracle. When amazon was going in and out of stock for the 16gb during the lightning deal I managed to grab one using 1-click. Unfortunately it went through at the $400 list price.

Except that was the best thing that could've happened. Amazon is running a promotion for 20% off back to school items when you use the amazon visa, which this just happens to be listed under. So I got it for $320. Why is that great? Because I just got a CSR to refund me $300 for the lightning deal price!

I just got back from my store under the same situation and one was not held for me. Of course, the kicker here is that they sold them to people who lined up this morning. :bomb:

[quote name='Steve0Matic']I'm taking a shot that they will. I ordered from Kmart and submitted a price protection form immediately afterward. We'll see what happens.[/QUOTE]

I bought a couple of 32GB from the Sears website last night before the new fire sale price and before it went OOS. I called Sears CS # about 30 minutes ago and the agent price adjusted my order :whee: No hunting down these babies today :) Good luck to those who are still looking.

I saw a link in a SD's thread about signing up to see when they are back in stock at HP.com (link). I don't know how fast they will notify you though.
 
Looks like my mom MIGHT be happy. She was able to get an an order for in-store pickup at the Owensboro, KY store to go through this morning. She finally got the order ready for pickup message 30 minutes ago. She called to verify that if she got the ready message that someone had to physically touch the box. She's all excited too. It's kinda funny. She has been looking for a small and cheap tablet that wasn't a piece of shit. She did make sure to mention that if she drove over there after getting a ready for pickup confirmation and they didn't have one there would be hell to pay. Damn right! Hearing her get excited on a deal is just too damn funny.

Also, after looking at my order from BestBuy.com, apparently they didn't charge me sales tax. That is very odd.

I can't find a confirmation number or anything. I didn't print out the sheet and my iPad refreshed on me and I got the error message after that. I really want to cancel the order after I scored an amazon one but can't figure out how to.

I'm hoping HP cancels my order on me, which is what I thought they'd do after I ordered it anyway. After they tweeted that there would more available however I'm afraid I'll actually get "lucky".

If your HP does in fact go through, put some good karma on yourself and sell one on here to a CAG for cost+shipping. Most of us actually want to use it, not resell it. It's a thought! :applause::)
 
Woo! Figured out how to close some apps. There are a bunch of nice free ones. I have jazz playing in the background with some NPR news reading. Wow, this thing is awesome. I don't think I will be getting any sleep anytime soon. Good luck to those hoping to score one. The 2nd one I ordered can't be canceled on Best Buy's website so hopefully that will go through. My sister is interested in one, so unfortunately I'll probably be giving it to her.
 
I went through Amazon at the link that the guy had posted - it showed full price... But over to the right, I saw a box that said "This item also available as a lightning deal" I clicked, saw 65% claimed, entered my password, typed my CC# and the order was confirmed. That was just luck. I am very excited to have one of these on the way. I'll have to take off the day it arrives, since there are some sketchy fuckers around here. Ended up that I had $27 in Amazon credit lying around there. $74 shipped (did free shipping. I am not paying $10 for shipping...)
 
Not a bad deal for those that are finding them.

Before going the extra mile, don't forget there are a TON of Android tablets languishing on shelves. Somethings gotta give, and I expect some nice deals before the end of the year.
 
gosh damnit. my mom would love to have one of these especially at this price!!! I just wasted time and money at disneyland yesterday and missed a great deal. F YOU MICKY MOUSE!!!

I think i got through and ordered a 32gb.
Those pages took forever to load on my ipad, but they worked. Kinda excited to see how this all tuens out.
Went to best buy at 11, they announced there were none in the greater Boston area. Incredible how they disappeared from the market.
 
Since there is no support, why is everyone buying these? Just for the simple use of having an Touchpad that is cheap? Cause if you run into issues with it you are going to be out in the cold? I even thought about getting one but, I just don't need it, most people probably don't need them that are buying them. (Climbs into flame retardent bombshell)
 
Crap, just got off a chat with kmart.com, I picked the wrong version I ordered the 16 gb and not the 32 gb. It seems they will price adjust the 32gb one currently, but the not 16gb. This is because technically the sears site shows it as $150, however both sites (kmart and sears) still have the 16gb full price. So i told the guy basically I could have gotten the more expensive model for cheaper if I had just ordered the 32gb.... So if you ordered the 32gb you should get the price adjust. He did say the 16gb became available again they could offer the price adjust. I'm thinking it will be available again as a lot of people will return or cancel orders if they do not get the price match.
 
Kinda glad I'm late to the party with this. It's one of those things I def would have bought at this price, but probably would have been like "why did I buy this?" a month later.

Why you no good little son of a...! JK!! :D;)

It's personal preference. There may not be support from HP, but you can certainly find assistance through the, now ever expanding, customer base via the internet. ifixit.com now has a tear down on their website so you can fix the thing yourself if you have the will to do so. I want it because it runs Flash and the full web browser experience, but it's easier for my family to navigate the internet with as well. Full desktops and laptops can be confusing to some people. Tablets simplify the process for a more enjoyable experience. It's definitely not for everyone though! :bouncy:

HP isn't going out of business, the touchpad is still under the expressed warranty included. The fact that you cannot return it does not mean they do not have to honor their warranty if you have any issues with the hardware.

Yeah good points, wouldn't mind having one just to play around with but, I can get a lot of other crap to play around with for $100 or $150. To each their own, enjoy.

The fact that you cannot return it does not mean they do not have to honor their warranty if you have any issues with the hardware. Sure, they might no have many updates to their OS, but the touchpad itself is covered. Having spent a few hours with the thing, the OS runs perfectly well as is and doesnt really need any updates.
