I bought a case (the one that works with the touchstone) yesterday from hp home. Maybe they went out of stock after that, but they're showing in stock now (7am EST): http://www.shopping.hp.com/can/touchpad/categories/case/1/accessories

My HP SMB order for the 32 version, that has sat in limbo from around 8am EST on Sunday the 21st, just got shipped. If you want to compare notes, my order did receive a confirmation on the 23rd, showing an order date of the 22nd, but the status on their site always showed "will inform" for ship...

Here's a bitter twist on my hp order (the one I wanted for me; my other order was supposed to be for my gf): - So my order at hp SB has been sitting in limbo, but I assumed it would all work out in the end. Yesterday, all of the sudden my only card (a debit card) stopped being accepted in cash...

Last "tech support" post, I promise: - If you're wondering about what order to do the tweaks/overclocking in, below is how I did it and everything went smoothly: 1. Update WebOS 2. Do the logging hack (need to use skype to access the dialer) 3. Do the steps to load precentral and download the...

Yes you do have to sign up for skype (I didn't have an acct. established either) but you can do it right from the touchpad, it takes 10 seconds, and it's free for the purpose of just accessing the dialer.

There are a bunch of sites out there explaining how to do it, and every single one seems to miss a small step or two, but nothing that will sabotage the process. Here's one site: http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/got-a-slow-hp-touchpad-here-are-3-easy-ways-to-speed-it-up/

If you ordered from HP and your credit card doesn't show any charge/hold now, don't sweat it. It just means the normal 3-4 day hold has expired; totally normal. You won't be charged, or show a charge until it ships. Other forums seem to have a lot of chatter saying that at least the HP SMB reps...

No it isn't if that's what it was worth to you.

While I did get the one I ordered for my gf (via bestbuy online), the one I was going to claim as my own was ordered from HP SBM. I got the same type of info you did although my initial ordering went at a lot smoother than yours did (took maybe 3 quick tries to place the order). I haven't been...

Probably everyone is either tired of hearing "success" stories, but I'll add mine to feed this mega thread: Ordered the 16 ver. from BestBuy on Sunday morning, ~10am EST. Threw in a few bucks for faster shipping given that I thought it might give me a better chance of getting one. Got a...

Just ordered one (32 version) from hp small business - worked on third try. Hard to pull the trigger at $149, but I'll confess I got caught up in the "thrill of the hunt." On the bright side: free shipping, no B&M frenzy/disappointment. On the bad side: I think I just bought a really overpriced...

Sorry, it's $20 actually. My bad. For the Wii only. Maybe not the hottest deal, and sorry if it was posted earlier (couldn't fine a thread on it) but it still goes for mad bucks elsewhere...

That entirely misses the point. You don't know that when you first see it. You think (or at least I did) that everyone else can see it too. Look, April Fool's day isn't on everyone's radar. I realize that I am possibly the only one who doesn't think this is hilarious, so I'm willing to say that...

Clever in execution, but not funny. Identity theft and/or being accused of an actual crime is not a laughing matter to me. I appreciate the spirit in which it was done, and the coding skills used in creating it, but I really think this wasn't a good idea. I know many if not all of you are...

Good warning about the Windows 7 beta driver, but I'm a little confused by it. The standard driver Creative offers for Win 7 on their site is version 1.01.0096. It says nothing about it being a beta (they have a separate beta drivers section). However, it says it was released in July 09, way...
