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!

Sorry to re-post this question, but I think it got buried:

Great. I just got my Touchstone and case from Best Buy at lunch. I ordered 2 "PROTECTIVE SILICON COVER FOR NOOK"s per the recommendation here in order to qualify for a bigger % discount.
They weren't in today, but now I got a email saying they were ready for pickup. It says I have until next week to pick them up or they will be cancelled. If I don't pick them up (since I didn't care about them anyway) do I lose that % discount?

Basically I am asking if I need to take the drive to get something I don't really want in order to keep the discount.

Does anyone have any insight into the bestbuy pickup in store cancellation and promotion policy?

I would guess there's a restocking fee for not picking it up, but you can pick it up and immediately return it. Dunno what will happen to your discount tho. I would guess that will be kept
 
Here's an article regarding the surprise production of another run of TouchPads.
http://www.appleinsider.com/article...more_touchpads_likely_due_to_obligations.html

Crunchy Bits: "This makes sense as it is not in HPQ's interest to alienate the supply chain base and the company may not lose as much money as it is bringing in some revenue as opposed to taking a full write-down on commitments with no revenue."

Also of interest: "Wu's sources reportedly told him that there were plans to build between 500,000 and 1 million TouchPad units. It is unknown how many were previously made, or how many more HP plans to produce."

YMMV.

If true, that should be more than enough (1 per person) to satisfy the need of most. I'm still hoping a fellow CAG will sell me their extra, since nothing is guaranteed at this point.

ZONES hasnt canceled any orders or sent out any email updates at all.
It would be amazing if they just let us hold our orders, and if they get more in stock in a few weeks, they can finally fulfill our orders that are still "in process".
They should ask us if we want to cancel or not. These are just my hopes =)
I have an extra HP case, so I'd be bummed if I couldnt get a TP for my GF. Also, I see the touchstone and keyboard prices are going back up. Yikes.

MY order basically shows a 20% discount on each item. I did the exact same thing as you, but I had them ship it because I have SILVER status for some reason. Anyways, they shipped everything separate. I have the cases in hand, seem like junk. I'm debating about returning them for my $3.xx back, but not sure if it is worth it. My wife actually has a Nook, so I may just keep it. We just got her a new Nook, so I may sell it all on EBAY.

I believe the 500,000 to 1,000,000 number were the originally planned production numbers. I'm sure they produced and sent out to retailers at least 500,000. At this point I'm not sure anyone can even accurately guess what the new production run will be, although @BrynaAtHP says that she knows it won't be enough for everyone. That could mean anything, though. They could produce another 250,000 and some people would still be disappointed. I should think they would still sell them at $99/$149, but again, no one knows.

Unfortunately she's about as informative as a Justin Bieber music video.
I'm looking forward to the day I can stop following her.
It took her 8+ tweets to say: some people didn't get the email because it was in such heavy-use and not everyone will be able to get a TP, even with the new batch that's coming.
Lady, you're in PR...no one likes you. It's your Kobayashi Maru. It's part of the job.

If they are making more to sell, somehow I doubt they will stick with that price point. But only time will tell.

Not a new order I'm guessing? They've been out of stock.
 
I'm glad she clarified that this is a limited run and that they're not getting back into the biz so people aren't like "see, I told you it was a marketing ploy!"

They probably had a lot of parts sitting around waiting for the restock run that never came. So might as well assemble it and ship em out. Although I still don't see how losing $200+ per tp is worth it. must be trying really hard to sell webOS to someone.

Well that was a surprise. MacMall just called and said they got some more inventory and asked if I still wanted a 16gb for 99 free shipping I said of coarse and I guess they will be shipping it today or tomorrow. Maybe I can recover some of the money I had to spend to get one off Ebay. I spent like an hour that Sunday trying to get the order in to them with all the page refreshing over and over. They are affiliated with OnSale so I guess I feel better about my OnSale cancellation now.

Well add me to the list that have caved in and bought one off of eBay. I got a 32gb for 249 shipped. Yeah, yeah...I know, "don't feed the hoarders, etc" but I'm giving it as a present to my mom for her bday next weekend. Time is money and I've spent too much time trying to find one at a reasonable price.

Like you said they probably had more parts they had already purchased before deciding to end production that would be wasted anyway; they probably oversold on their website since there are still orders thru their websites out there not shipped and it would look really bad for the manufacturer to cancel orders with such a craze for the tablet going on; stoking more interest in their touchpads and in turn webOS may help in selling webOs usage out to a company tires of dealing with Android. I thought their loss was about $100 per unit at the firesale price though. Wonder if new sales may go at a slightly higher price to offset losses. I wouldn't mind a bump of 50 - 100 to get a cheap tablet and they lose less or some close to even.

Doubting my chances to get a restocked tablet and considering that's still a fine price for a tablet I may have to watch ebay.
 
Question: For anyone who has received their touchpad from SMB, did the status update page ever change to shipped? Or did you receive an email shipping notification? I place my order on the 20th. They've changed the planned delivery from the 23rd to the 26th to the 31st. Does it ever change to Shipped when it's shipped?
 
Looks like i gonna have to break down and order from amazon lame still will try from hp when they get stock but i would rather have one for sure than try for 1 whenever they get more i have tried to get one from a cag but really very few cags that frequent the trade thread

I don't think a reputable dealer will jack up the prices any more than HP tells them to. (Which I suspect is not at all.)

The bullshit little resellers will, but the do that anyway.

Dang, that's a bummer. Mimo monitors work via USB only so I was hoping someone would make this happen. I'll probably end up just getting a dupe of the [cheap] Asus 21" I have now and set them up vertically, like a giant DS.

Anyways. I actually ordered from OfficeMax before and my order got placed in backorder, then cancelled. Here's the e-mail they sent me:

August 31, 2011


Re: Cancelation of HP TouchPad Order


Dear OfficeMax Customer:

Recently you have been contacted and informed your HP TouchPad order was canceled due to HP discontinuing the item and OfficeMax not being able to source the item.

It was brought to our attention that HP may be shipping additional inventory to its suppliers. Our Merchandising team has contacted HP and is pushing to acquire enough stock to cover the orders we had to cancel. HP has posted the following statement on their website - "Despite announcing an end to manufacturing webOS hardware, we have decided to produce one last run of TouchPads to meet unfulfilled demand. We don't know exactly when these units will be available or how many we'll get, and we can't promise we'll have enough for everyone."

We have saved all canceled orders, and if we are successful in attaining additional HP TouchPads, we will contact you to fulfill your order.

As always, we value your business. Thank you for your patience and loyalty throughout this situation.

While we deeply regret any inconvenience this has caused, we ask that if you have questions, please call customer service at 1-877-OfficeMax.


Sincerely,

OfficeMax Customer Service
1-877-633-4236
Click to expand...
So, just to be clear, it looks like only people who already placed and order with OfficeMax will be eligible and that's if they manage to get more stock. Shrike, did you manage to get one eventually at all?

After having a Folio case previously on my nook color, i did not want another one for the touchpad, i like the feel of a tablet as is. So i bought some front/rear covers. Got this:

http://www.slashgear.com/hp-touchpad-stealtharmor-full-body-kit-fire-sale-on-now-24174064/

With the HPFIRESALE coupon they come out to 20 each and come with front/rear covers. I got the white carbon fiber one for mine and the blue one for my sister. After seeing the video and how high quality it is, i decided it was the way to go.
 
My Meijer labor day paper that arrived yesterday has the 16gb touchpad at $399 starting today. This ad could have been printed before the price drop though, but its strange becuse I have never seen a tablet in the store there other than Ipads. Meijers selection on electronics is usually pretty limited though.

It's nice to see that they're trying to keep those who didn't get a TouchPad a possible second chance with another order from OM, though I think there's a lot of ifs in that situation.

Me, I had orders canceled out from MicroCenter, PCConnection and OnSale, as well as lack of success in orders with other vendors (RadioShack, CDW, plus too many others to remember) and I have one pending order with HP SMB that's still up in the air.

I used to work at a newspaper as a production supervisor and I can tell you that, while it varies from retailer-to-retailer, ads are usually printed weeks in advance. Some ads we would get the week before, some almost a month before.

That was a major perk of that job, always getting the jump on sales. But that was 7-8 years ago, when it was harder to find leaked ads online.
