HP touchpad tablet $99

[moshquerade]

That has been live since yesterday...guaranteed to be cancelled. Like RD already posted - more stock in at most places Thurs/Fri. Everyone is getting riled up - just prepare for the incoming stock and chill a few days.

122 in stock now...

Let's see it was at 201, then 136, now 122.
I would say something is going on now.

Same here. If you haven't found one by now, it's pretty much lost cause and not worth wasting time trying to locate one. The extremes people are going to buy are interesting though.

What do you mean "extremes"? I've spent less than thirty minutes looking online from the comfort of my office. Doesn't seem to extreme to me. Then I clicked the "order" button. Again, not seeing any extreme measures. If I get it, awesome, if not, oh well.

Jump in while they last!!! I got the confirmation email saying the order has been recieved. The counter was at 136 when I ordered.

Good Luck!!!!

Having a terrible time making an account there. Any ideas what it'll take?

 

[IndyColtsFan]

I think the site is getting hammered.

 

[Vic Vega]

Insight is down guys.

You plugging in a business name? I did, but then I used my house address and it went through fine.

I know when I first filled it out it only asked for the street addy and zip code - nothing about town and state. So i put the town and state in the "address 2" line anyway. Maybe that's the glitch?

 

[DisgruntledVirus]

Apparently Insight is getting slammed now. Trying again, and I did create an account so I don't know what's going on.

I wonder how many sites these touchpad deals have taken down in the past few days...

Yeah I thought that too, but I just put in zip code and and it then pulls city/state/etc from the zip.

I got stuck at the account creation page as well... After a billion retries it finally said "We found an address that was close... is this correct?" And it was...but then the site crashed :thumbsdown::thumbsdown:

 

[Kenmitch]

insight is up and down but inventory seems to be going down with it. If you get thru good luck getting to the cart....Seems like it's slabbed harder than the site ???

Worth a try I guess if your percistant you may get thru....

 

[ghost recon88]

I added 6 to my cart back when there was 120+, got stuck at the account creation page, finally got the main page to pull back up, cart was cleared...

I just got the page to load. 8, according to counter, in stock now!

And this is the 16GB. Need to find the 32GB link.

Thanks for slowing the rest of us down!

Sorrrrry, but it was more to alert you

Amazon has a ton of "just launched" stores selling them too, and it looks like the prices have creeped up to the 350-400 range for the 16gb. HP basically handed money to a lot of people with this sale. I wish they mandated a limit, but they may have been concerned they wouldn't get rid of them all in a timely manner.

I just don't understand people being willing to paying prices in that range, because by then you are getting into Iconia pricing, and with the Iconia you are not dealing with all the abandonware issues you'll have down the line with the Touchpad. Hell, I've even seen some Xooms getting down into the $400 range from time to time.

 

[Vic Vega]

Site just came up for me... 1 in stock. They're done.

 

[arcenite]

I've given up... will wait for next batch
