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!

[quote name='phantomfriar2002']If you're looking for a case, as one of the posters mentioned a page back, the Griffin Elan Folio is apparently the cheapest, best option -- according to this article it fits this specific (Ipad1) case:

http://weboscenter.com/2011/07/look...d-get-the-10-griffin-elan-folio-from-verizon/

You can get it for $10 + tax from Verizon, it's also on Amazon cheap for $10 and under from a lot of different sellers.[/QUOTE]

Or you can just buy this for $12.49

Just picked one up off of B&N. Finally, hopefully all goes well.
Anyone know who they use for shipping? I'm hoping they use UPS because I don't really have a mailbox at my house so the USPS gets all sketchy.

If you picked standard delivery, it's USPS. It says this when choosing your shipping options:

"To use the U.S. Postal Service, instead of other carriers, select the Standard Delivery option below."

That B&N one was clutch. I called every store yesterday, all sold out, and missed the lightning deal, so finding this BN discovery was coolio!
 
[quote name='Nagasami']Did i mentioned the Verizon order come out to be $10.70 shipped with 2 days shipping and tax? Griffin one look more genuine.[/QUOTE]

Didn't know it was free shipping. That's a pretty good deal then. Hopefully this stays there for a while. Needa pick some up if my OnSale orders don't get canceled.
 
[quote name='tossin']Also picked up a couple on Barnes and Noble just in case the ones from OnSale don't pan out.[/QUOTE]

Ditto. I have 1 16GB on order from OnSale through Amazon and 1 through Barnes and Noble. I just want 1 for the couch. Fingers crossed I get at least 1 "shipped" notice tomorrow.
 
Well I either have 1 (on hand already) or 5. The only person I know who wants it in my family is my sister but the 2 16GB from B&N might be great presents for my parents.
 
Anyone else have their BN order status update to unable to process and instructions to call them? I ordered mine right after the first post saying BN had them and they already charged my card. I have a feeling this is going to be a cancel.
 
Thanks, jumped on B&N too - mentioned the Touchpad to my parents before we watched a movie and my mom's eyes lit up.

All said and done, one for me, one for my wife, and one for my folks. Hopefully, they all go through (B&H Photo, onSale and B&N).
 
Ordered one through B&N. Figure it's a present for the GF, she's been wanting a digital photo frame anyway and this was probably the easier thing to do.
 
Some jackhole ordered FIFTY right before mine. I really hope the bottom drops out on these things. I think like most of you, I just want ONE to have.

Fifty... I hope its so large that it red flags the order. Unreal.
 
[quote name='rybrad']Anyone else have their BN order status update to unable to process and instructions to call them? I ordered mine right after the first post saying BN had them and they already charged my card. I have a feeling this is going to be a cancel.[/QUOTE]

Where are you reading this (Im on my order status page right now) Order was at 12 34 for me.
 
[quote name='HeSaveDave']Mine broke and they won't accept return of it. I am hearing horror stories at this point that we're all gonna end up with $100 paperweights[/QUOTE]

Who's "they"? I thought HP warrantied these things for a year.
 
[quote name='supadupacheap']Where are you reading this (Im on my order status page right now) Order was at 12 34 for me.[/QUOTE]
Order status page in the status column. Says "Unable to process order. Please call 1-877-379-0036, or 212-414-6024, if outside U.S.". I used the exact same billing and shipping info I always use with them so I doubt that is the issue. My order time was 12:23am.
 
[quote name='rybrad']Anyone else have their BN order status update to unable to process and instructions to call them? I ordered mine right after the first post saying BN had them and they already charged my card. I have a feeling this is going to be a cancel.[/QUOTE]

Mine just says "not yet shipped." I'll check it again when I wake up in the morning.

Your card may have been hit with a fraud alert because of too many orders/attempted orders?

and of course theyre closed right now. so weak.[/QUOTE]

Mine basically said the same thing. "Unable to ship. Please call 1-800-THE-BOOK for assistance."

[quote name='confoosious']oh, I thought it was longer. you know visa gives you double warranty with all purchases right?[/QUOTE]Not all of them double the warranty protection, so it depends on your card. Squaretrade's warranty vary from product to product, and they're always inclusive, so they're covering it from day one, though you can still obviously have factory warranty coverage while it still exists.

[quote name='aTaRiFrEaK223']AMEX also gives you an extra year. $50 for something that's $150 is not really a good deal. That's 33 percent of the cost.[/QUOTE]I was putting it out there for those that don't have an AMEX card nor another card that extends the warranty out there. I did also mention the 30% coupons that show up periodically, and you have 60 days from date of purchase to get the Squaretrade warranty.

I've used them and been very happy with their handling of issues. Plus, they give you 5% additional money back when requesting an Amazon gift card as the warranty reimbursement when they replace your product.
 
[quote name='HeSaveDave']Mine broke and they won't accept return of it. I am hearing horror stories at this point that we're all gonna end up with $100 paperweights[/QUOTE]

Are they the voices in your head? There was no mass reports of this thing breaking the first 7 weeks it was out. Unless you have links to actual accounts of more than 5 people you are just trying to stir the pot.
 
I had no problem ordering one from B&N half an hour ago, around midnight Central time.

We got one from onSale earlier today, but I ordered this one just in case that falls through or is sketchy. I'm 99% confident that it won't be, but I'll deal with the hassle of returning this to B&N or selling it for that peace of mind.
 
[quote name='Jayrcee']Your card may have been hit with a fraud alert because of too many orders/attempted orders?[/QUOTE]
While possible, I doubt it. This is the first thing I have bought in a couple days, I didn't try to buy one at other sites and I have made larger purchases than this at the B&N website. Nothing to do except wait until they are open I guess.
 
[quote name='technicalstylez']everyone who ordered from b&n should check their order status an hour after they placed the order, as thats when the status is updated.[/QUOTE]

I have 2. One says it will ship the 24th and the other is still processing. My card is only charged once right now.
 
got in on this madness and ordered two from bn. I was able to get rid of a large GC amount too so that's good. For some reason tax came out to be around 9.3526% (NYC is 8.875%) stiffing me out of $1.10!
 
I purchased a second from B&N after onsale just in case it gets canceled. Worse case scenario I have a nice gift for my brother.
 
I just placed an order through B & N...processed fine...I already have an account through them for my Nook so maybe that is why I didn't have a problem ordering one. Haven't decided if I'll sell my nook or keep both and give one to my wife/family member.
