Same here, but not getting too excited until I see the shipping confirmation email.

Now BN says Out of Stock, we'll see what happens!

HP's site is supposedly going to be back in stock today. Hope I can reload the page at the right time!

HP's site is really slow right now. Stock up 5%.

Maybe HP should have more fire sales.



eBay's flooded with them now. Crazy how much people are paying for them

I am hoping I can reload it at the right time too. I have it on email alert but I assume they will be gone by the time I get the email. I am after a 32gb one if I can get one.

When I log into BN to review shipment.

August 22, *********** Unable to process order. Please call 1-877-379-0036, or 212-414-6024, if outside U.S.

I called them and due to a high volume of calls, I must call back.

My Amazon order says they should be shipped today or tomorrow, so hopefully those go through.

I still haven't received a cancellation email yet and my status still says estimated ship date.

I'm not sure what I'll even do with the thing (if I get it) seeing how I already have a netbook, but with all this excitement I don't even care!

EDIT- B&N has pre-authorized $114 to my billing account, yet the item has not shipped. Receiving email in 3..2...1....

Had a 32GB in my cart @ Staples. After I logged into account to check out, it disappeared.

with $25 coupon, would have been nice deal.


They pulled 16GB from site already.

Definitely worth it. Watch movies, e-reader, etc.

If your computer was three feet away from your bed, which would you browse the internet on: phone, laptop or PC.

If you answer is PC, you may go.

I've heard actually going to Walmart, OfficeMax, Staples, Bestbuy is getting results for people.

Sadly I'm stuck at work.

Damn really I may have to try that on the way home to see if they have any near me. I can hit Walmart and Staples in one Plaza and then OfficeMax and Best Buy across the street I get off in hour and a half.
