I give up. 
Would've been a great gift for my sister going back to grad school. I guess I'll have to just bite the bullet come September and get a different tablet or netbook.

Shit, I JUST got this email from HP:
I put in an order Saturday, hit "submit" but after the page tried to load for 15 min I got an error. I guess the order did go through though. Problem is I ordered one through B&N last night, so now I've got two of these things coming.

Therefore, order confirmation emails are still being processed. Be assured that your order has been captured. You should receive an automated order confirmation in the next 24-72 hours.

I was thinking the same thing today in Court. "Man a tablet would be useful right now." Suddenly all of these situations that I don't know how I never could have done without my imaginary tablet. 
But the initial reason I was ordering was just because I thought they'd be cheap enough to mess around with.
I ordered one from onsale through Amazon, and another from B&N, both yesterday. Haven't gotten any cancellation emails yet but I see the warnings posts.

This one was for the one I ordered at 10:00 PM yesterday, without signing up for a B&N account... the second one I ordered at 12:30 AM and signed up for an account is still in limbo, but its not looking good.

I ordered last night from B&N @ around 11:10 PM. I got the same email above saying order didn't go through. I doubt your 2nd one went through if it was placed after mine.

HP claims that more Touchpads will be coming - at least until they are all gone.

I really wonder how many units they have sold this weekend.

They have created chaos with this... a huge one too. Dumbasses. I'm surprised at the execs of HP, are they really that dumb?
I havent received any cancellation emails nor shipping emails. With my luck, meaning I have no luck... I'll have nothing soon enough

From onSale Facebook: Thank you for calling to inquire about the status of your HP Touchpad order. When the price decrease was announced this weekend, our websites, and the websites of all major retailers, were overwhelmed with customers placing orders for the HP Touchpad. We are now in the process of sorting thru the orders and confirming which ones we can fulfill. Rest assured that we are filling valid orders on a first-come, first-served basis as long as we have inventory. At this time, we do not know if there will be sufficient inventory to fulfill your order. We hope to be able to get back to you on the status of your order in the next 24 hours if not sooner. If you would like to cancel your order, please do so.
