Hewlett-Packard: TouchPad News and Discussion Thread
I know there is a link in the Mobile Phone/PDA forum, but it doesn't get at much traffic as here. (If mods could leave this for a bit....)

Best buy is currently in stock but not for long

Follow this link for free shipping

http://slickdeals.net/?&u2=http://ww...1312731&loc=01

Search for HP Touchpad, Add to cart, Checkout, ????, Profit

Act Fast!

Is it really worth buying one of these considering the product is EOL?

while it would be nice to have had one, the support would have been dead (HD2 and WinMo 6.5 ring a bell?) forcing you to rely upon a third party solution to give it some life.....

yea but for the price... I dont care personally

as long as I can still access websites and movies, music etc for a year or two with this thing... very worth it

Its really gonna stay in my bathroom for web surfing while on the throne. The price was right for it.

If I paid $500 for it... then I would be pissed.

Great web browser, superior audio quality, video quality equal to an iPad, Hulu works just fine on it. Email app can keep track of up to 16 exchange accounts, social networking is superior, there is a Kindle app. Angry Birds HD comes free

Oh and you get 50 GB of cloud storage through box.net, no monthly fees.

techincally I have about 3 lined up

1 from hp.com (Still processing)
2 from BB.com (Processing as well)

Hopefully they all come through. I have a few people ready to buy from me but not for profit. Just helping out my bro in law and my co-worker. Keeping the 32GB model for myself

did you use the 2727 Employee code at HP? The same one thousands of people used?

I heard that code was for the Army lol.

I used my company code so I guess thats maybe why mine wasn't canceled?

Would $230 be worth paying for one of these? Does that price kill the deal?
