I'm wondering where this ranks in terms of sales and attempted sales all time.

Gotta be one of the hottest products ever.

Someone on another forum went to his local BB and said there was already a line of 50 people outside waiting to get in this morning for the touchpads.

But BB (and other retailers like Staples, Costco) supposedly sent back all non store inventory to HP earlier in the week which is why HP site says "Coming Soon. Please check back soon."

HP is restocking from these retailers.

OK, here's something rather odd...

I checked my order status earlier and it had been cancelled. Got an email at 6:52 stating the same.

Now at 9:27 I receive this email:

to be fair, he was already the biggest music star on the planet and probably outsold everyone prior to death

what cases are you guys getting?

i just realized something, if you get a case that is iPad style (in that it covers the black bezel surrounding the LCD) you cant really use the Touchpad like its meant to be.

much more difficult to swipe up to exit out of a running app.

unless you want to press the button everytime ala iOS.

I bought one of the HP cases to try out but no case for my second one I ordered if I even get. They are toying with me now based on my above post.

why does it seem that everyone on reseller ratings has a bad rating lately?

Compare that to their google rating
