Make sure that you get one that won't obstruct the gesture to exit your app and bring you to the card view. Unless you like pressing the home button.

Bent = #1
Meh by adding the keyboard I was able to get a bigger discount (counter productive?). I'll probably use it at some point.

I had found realistic dates but I cannot get back to the page anymore for some reason. The only page I can get to now is the page with 8/28.

If someone can find a direct link to the HP site that lets you track using your order number rather than your account info we should be able to get actual information. I had seen it a while back in an SD thread but I am not looking through a million pages to find it.

From Facebook:
RE: #HPTouchpad. ALL orders WILL BE SHIPPED towards the end of this week. NO CANCELLATIONS. Thank you for your patience.
Orders have officially started shipping with an email going out from DataVis not eBay or Paypal. eBay shipped status has not been updated yet. The email contains your order information and tracking.
Update Friday 8/26/2011 on Datavis Facebook Wall
We would like to again reiterate this should be a constructive venue for updates and comments. Threats for feedback will not make anything move faster. If you firmly believe HP's problems which created an earthquake through their Authorized Dealer Networks is worthy of tarnishing one's company 7000 times over. It is your prerogative.
Continued: The way HP works for LARGE inventory is they allocate goods in distributor warehouses for US. We stock 99% of the items, including touchpads. The extended quantities are sometimes offered on hotter items as we have allocation and we can utilize their warehouse space.
When the floodgates opened on Saturday (with no notice from HP), we sold this massive # in a short time. When we went to pull our stock, the distributors did not want to ship, though our goods were PAID for and confirmed. It took longer than expected and some legal threats, but the money was deducted from our account x 9500 units, which COVERS ALL OF YOU.
Touchpads are in route and we will post a copy of our Bill of Lading as proof hopefully today. In addition, the bulk of the tracking #s will update tonight, with movement soon after. Please keep in mind we are working as fast as we can, we realize this will literally MAKE or BREAK our business. Please keep that in mind when you comment, threat, etc. tHERE IS ALSO A HURRICANE coming up our way, and we are not sure how much staff will be able to make it on Sunday. Again we will keep you posted.
Lastly, with regard to more units after the committed batch. We believe we will get 1 last shot of them as HP is building more. YES they do cost more than $80-$90 and everyone that HP sold for $99 was a loss. You will get your item AT THE CHEAPER PRICE YOU PAID. The next batch for new orders will be considerably more. We do not know the higher price, but please also keep that in mind when complaining. Once again, thank you once again. This is one in a million $*#& storm that nobody could ever predict. We are confident it will be handled properly.
Another mass email will also summarize the above and have further details later this evening.

3) black marker (a few of them)
