I have two 32GB models, and I want to give one to my brother... I'm just not sure if I should keep the other or sell it. I really like it but when it comes down to it, i don't NEED it. I already gave away an iPad when I got my iPad 2, and I have a few laptops... hmm

Nice but i would lose money with shipping. My Sams Club order was the only one that went through and the others were cancelled. I had to pay tax, shipping, plus 10% because I didn't have my membership card with me.

Here is the invoice


QTY

ITEM

Shipping Method

Tracking Number



2

HP TouchPad webOS 3.0, 32GB, 9.7" - Wi-Fi

FEDERAL EXPRESS

946930869858098




Total tax = 26.24
Total Product Tax = 0.00
Total Shipping = 19.98
Total invoice = 374.02

Please note that any applicable tax and/or shipping charges, gift wrap charges have been applied.

Only difference is they haven't charged my CC. But I get that same message when using Firefox. When I use IE i get one step further, I get to a page that asks me to enter my shipping zip code to verify, when I do that then I get a page that just says "Unable to load order data from Vista"
