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

http://www.shopping.hp.com/go/touch...ight_banner_touchpad_oos_821&aoid=35252#faq_1

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.

Dear webOS developer:

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!

fuck!

Got my 32GB in the mail from Kmart and it has a manufacturers defect. There's a chip in the side of the casing (upper right hand corner). Still running through the paces to make sure it's aesthetic only.

Don't get me wrong, it's a good price, but still sucks that it's not perfect. Wonder how HP plans to honor the 1 year warranty. Maybe they can send me a replacement? I figure Kmart will only offer a refund, which isn't what I want.

Anyone know if the official case covers the sides of the device? Maybe it won't annoy me as much if it's covered up.
 
For those of you that got them already, does it boot up right away? I'm wondering if mine is DOA. Plugged in for 15min now and still won't turn on.

There's a little light on the home button that blinks when plugged in, but that's all I got so far.

It takes a minute to boot up the first time. I had the same thoughts when it didn't start up immediately. Just hold the power button for a couple seconds, then wait 10-15s and you should see the HP logo.
 
[quote name='floppywopper']I must know where. On the hunt!!!![/QUOTE]

I got it at the Ames, IA best buy but about 5 hours ago when I got it there were only like 5 left so I'm sure they are long gone.
 
[quote name='litalai']I just got two (16g and 32g) today from BB about an hour ago. Friend works in stock and called me when it arrived![/QUOTE]
Where in BB?
 
I could have got one from best buy but I had lunch with my mom. Hopefully other best buys will have some tomorrow.

Mom > Touchpad :lol:
 
Ok, so I don't want to take advantage of anybody, but I have a 32gb model that I purchased at best buy that I might be willing to sell. (Unopened, I have a 16 that I am currently modifying to run ubuntu.) I received an email from hp saying they were filling my order. I don't really want to post on ebay, because they can really eat at the bottom line. I will entertain offers.
 
I ordered 2 hp folios shipped to home from bestbuy.com at around 2pm pacific when they were still in stock. i used the entertainment page to get free shipping.

Do you guys think I will get them even though I used the entertainment trick?

The order status shows processing, ship in 0-1 days and it says item can't be cancelled. Is this a good sign?

I also used the 4 accessories for 20% off and bought electric tape and zip ties. I had to choose in store pickup for the electric tape and zip ties. But the zip ties were not found in store and there is the cancel option for that item.

If 1 of your 4 accessories are not found/ out of stock does that change your total to 15% off rather than 20% off? Or is your initial price total SAFE?

Did you charge it for a while though? I'm 30min in and still nothing. Holding the power button doesn't do anything yet.

HEY fellow Iowa CAG! Im in the dubuque area. I thought about heading there today to check it out but instead I sat around and watched Mad Men, Im happy with my choice;)
 
[quote name='LinkinPrime']Did you charge it for a while though? I'm 30min in and still nothing. Holding the power button doesn't do anything yet.[/QUOTE]

It had some charge out of the box. Here was my process:
1. Oh boy, it's here, it's here!
2. Excitedly rip open box
3. fuck, there's a chip in the case! Hope it works.
4. Pressed power for a couple seconds.
5. No immediate response
6. Pull out instruction manual.
7. Glanced over and saw that the device actually did boot up.
8. Rush to plug it in (battery was almost dead).
9. Bitch about misfortune of getting minorly defective unit on CAG (this is essential!)

Hope that helps
 
Nope.

Looks like mine's DOA. :bomb:

There's a light that blinks from left to right over and over and over when plugged in on the home button. The screen doesn't display anything at all. I've tried powering on multiple times and nothing.

fuck!

That really sucks, but hopefully it is covered under HP's warranty.[/QUOTE]

:lol:

I sure hope so. I doubt OD will take it back.

I googled and there's a couple posts that I found with users with the same problem. Some were resolved with a hard reset but I tried that too and no dice.
 
[quote name='ijustw1n']Tablet area.[/QUOTE]

actually it wasn't put on the floor yet. They had to go get it from the back. I got it at the BB in Casper, WY :roll:
 
lmao oh best buy, trolling me with that email asking me to call customer service if i still want the touchpad when they said they won't give it to me, :/ but that was two days ago, so with that new restock people are saying , hmmmmmmmmmmi, i'll call them again

Sounds like it's time for you to call HP Warranty. Let us know what you find out, as there are bound to be other poor souls on CAG. Hopefully, HP is withholding some inventory for warranty replacement.
 
Steps to set logging to minimal:

Open up the Phone & Video Calls App
Type ##5647# and hit the green call button
In the new window that pops up, click on “Change Logging Levels…”
On the next screen hit “Set Logging To Minimal”
Click OK to confirm on the “Are You Sure?” popup
That’s it!

When I follow those steps a Skype thing comes up and no numbers, any idea how to help me out?

the Konami Code (for real though)! WebOS devs are awesome like that... There are also 2 patches on preware to eliminate most of the rest of logs after you do the minimal logs and after that the pad speeds up significantly!

Could be worse. I just picked up a used PS3 for Gamestop the other day, and it happened to not been formatted and had an active PSN account on it.

While poking around, I happened to go into the web browser. Sure enough, there were numerous porn sites in the history. I immediately dropped the controller and grabbed the sanitizer and scrubbed the shit out of that controller, and my hands.

Now THAT was a :puke:worthy moment.

Yup. Set up Skype, and then you can click the button to bring up the dialpad.
