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.

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!

Lucky!!! Mine still say 3 Day Pending. I hope it will update soon.
 
This should be deal of the year AND thread of the year.

Is this going to be a record for most pages in a thread on CAG? Is it already?

Loving my 32GB , but I really wanted a 16GB for the wife, and maybe one for the car. But no luck so far.

I believe when they bought the CompUSA B&M business they left open the FL locations and rebranded them while closing most of the other locations. I could be completely wrong though...wouldn't be the first time.

Just tried this method and got a different "please call again later" message followed by the call ending. Thanks anyways.

We are in the same boat brother...im hoping the best :cry:
 
Was on tiger direct and said in stock.. click add to cart and 15 minutes later the page hasn't changed.


i don't blame slickdeals.. it is a good site. I just hate the people on there who buy tons of items just to resell them. I actually want one of these for myself
 
Very hopeful that my order from onsale goes through, but very skeptical that it actually will. Hoping that the order I made on Ebay with Datavision goes through, when I emailed them they said they are hoping for the end of the week to start getting them out the door
 
[quote name='Nagasami']Mine still say 3 day pending[/QUOTE]Mine, too. Still no sign of anything happening with any of my orders. Nothing shipping, nothing canceled, nothing charged to my card, it's as if this past weekend has been a frantic chase for nothing. :( Why couldn't Beast Buy have just actually sold the damn things on Saturday morning when I was there?
 
[quote name='confoosious']You're right. Some people overthink things and also get really paranoid about deals. If anything, you'd think the retailers would just want to get this out of the way so they can free up their servers for people who actually want to buy profitable shit.

The only thing I think holding up things is their negotiations w/ HP on how much money they're gonna get back in credit for each tablet sold vs each tablet returned.[/QUOTE]


Also if everyone did it at once, they'd all have a better chance of having their servers survive the dispersed onslaught of hits.
 
[quote name='Nagasami']We are in the same boat brother...im hoping the best :cry:[/QUOTE]

Yeah. I'm guessing it'll eventually update later today. They have to. Oh, it's sister, not brother. I don't have a 3rd leg. ;)

hoarders and money grubbing scum is what sd is
 
I don't mind hoarding, to an extent. But cmon, this is a Tablet, it could benefit so many broke kids in college, for example. Hoarding for making a profit on ebay is just weaksauce, imo. It takes away from so many people that NEED this deal. Also, play it smart and signup for newegg and insight.com if you havent already, and of course the HP website.

[quote name='eliter1']Who needs Anonymous when you have a mob of people looking for a shopping deal...[/QUOTE]

:applause:

If you have a beef with any retailer in the past, just post on SD that they have the HPs on sale.
 
Well, I got an order in at TigerDirect, but was having really weird issues with Google checkout until it finally worked... and my guess is that because I used Google checkout it messed up and its going to be cancelled, but we'll see.
 
[quote name='xj_sky']"well, i just spoke to onSale, all of the orders placed on Amazon.com are being cancelled. You should rec'v the cancellation and the pending amount on your card should be refunded within the next 24 hours. kind of what i expected. i will hold out for datavis...."

from another forum[/QUOTE]

Why would all order be canceled? I would think that they would fill as may as they can even if that is 5% of orders placed.

Even so I cant wait to see how many bad reviews they get all at once on amazon.
 
The "post from other forum" about OnSale makes no sense; they obviously had some stock, so they wouldn't cancel all orders, and the fact that they restocked once makes it seem more legitimate. So much hearsay in this thread, it's hilarious.

EDIT: gamewizardx knows what's up
 
I think it's funny how so many people here said that they're buying them for themselves and family members. Wait about 3 weeks to a month and they'll be flipping them here,just like video games. Don't blame slickdeals, blame the people on here that go on slickdeals site and post deals here from their site. There's hoarders and flippers on every site you go on.

I wish BestBuy would get taken down for screwing so many of us over with out in-store pick-ups. Damn employees cleaned most of them out and straight up lied to customers telling them they didn't have any.
 
Well this sucks, been lurking trying to get this all, day. Never gonna happen, about to stop trying.

Got an early order in a B&N but they canceled it quick. Can't afford to pay the flippers an extra $150 bucks just cause they cleared out a site for 100 units. Oh well

Newegg is already out of stock @ full price, wouldn't be surprised to see them not drop the price because of that.

You just gotta beat the flippers. I've gotten in like 10 orders (4 on Onsale, 4 on B&N, 2 on TD). I expect 4 onsale to get cancelled, 1 got cancelled from B&N, 3 are pending, and 2 from TD got confirmed. I don't plan on flipping any, but I've been able to grab a ton off different sites (plus the two I got from Office Depot store). You just gotta be diligent. Don't blame the flippers for you (and by you I mean everyone complaining about flippers) being unable to get orders.
 
How come all these shopping sites go down in a heartbeat (Tigerdirect is the latest victim), but CAG can stay up just fine all through this whole thing with all these posts being logged every few minutes.... not to mention all the lurkers!

Someone should track how many sites this deal has taken down in the past few days. I bet it is worse than any Anonymous hack job. Who needs hacking? Just announce something like Samsung Galaxy Tab is on sale for $99 at so at so site.... and it will go down.
 
This would be nice to load my textbooks on for this semester. I managed to get a pdf version of one for 3 weeks as a trial.. just need to figure out how to get the trial off, or pay $120 for the book (really a stack of papers that the college calls custom for the campus).
 
Tigerdirect is sold out of 16 gb but I was able to get another 32 gb order in before stopping. Every time I added 16 gb they came up with an error
 
So far:

I ordered two 32 GB from HP SMB (for me and my friend) - I can't check the status of it.. servers are slammed

I ordered two 16 GB from B&N (for my mom and aunt) - I have the dreaded "unable to process your order.."

I guess I'd just have to wait for any updates between the two.. and maybe try my luck with HP's official website once they restock themselves

Your a joke, I understand why you would buy one for each place because of the chance of being canceled but buying 3 or 4 from one place is just silly or your a flipper. If you are a flipper don't call others out that are having problems buying one. Most of us have to work and aren't depending on flipping these to make our rent.

Look, I can appreciate what you're trying to say here, but it'so far from the thought process of 99.9% of people, it's laughably idealistic. No one 'needs' a tablet. Hell, no one 'needs' the internet, if you want to get really philosophical about it.

But really, if even HP cared about that, they would have offered a student program before the general public got a hold of it, kind of a 'Student and Teacher' program like Adobe does.
 
Newegg has to price drop some time. Or if they send their stock back to HP that means HP will have more in stock at some point as well.

I mean you can still order them from their website at the 400 price tag. However they are probably not dropping just because people think that they will get a price match at some point and they won't but newegg gets all that profit...sad
 
[quote name='eliter1']I wish BestBuy would get taken down for screwing so many of us over with out in-store pick-ups. Damn employees cleaned most of them out and straight up lied to customers telling them they didn't have any.[/QUOTE]

Hey, I had to wait in line once it was announced that we could sell them like everyone else.
 
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 confirmation message almost immediately with "0-1" day delivery time frame (not the "null-null" version).
Just got a "shipment on its way" e-mail with a tracking number 5 minutes ago.
Yay!
Also, if I don't seem all that excited, it's because I remember the hp laptop deal from, I dunno, 7 or 8 years ago, via staples.com that seemed stellar at the time. A lot of people got really excited about snagging one. But, like a lot of HP products, the build quality was total crap. So, although I'm glad I got in on this deal, I figure $100 is likely what this tablet is really worth.
 
My girlfriend called Onsale (very long hold) and the rep explained that they had 1,000 units and the closer you ordered to noon the better chance you have to get the order processed. Mine was around 2 so no sale.
