Some of you are confused and more sadly pissed that people who could care less whether or not they know enough about tablets bought some touchpads? We're talking about touchpads, not some nuclear weapon. You check email, you browse, you play a game here and there, it's not rocket science.
Sow what if they bought one. If they don't use it they can always hand it over to their kids or give it away as a present. And again, it's a tablet...a device people use for SIMPLE tasks. Being a dead/unsupported changes absolutely NOTHING when the devices already works for the tasks above.
If you got on the deal congratulations!
I'm jelly. Of course I didn't check the hot deals at all this weekend and I was thinking about a multitouch touchpad.
Almost as hot as the contest people were botting to get a bunch of free samsung tabs, which I also missed out on. Lame.

I think that's the part that aggravates me the most, the fact that most people don't even get the opportunity because of resellers buying it for a profit. I'm not really jealous, I'm just annoyed that in order to get a good deal these days you basically have to stumble on it, purchase immediately and not tell anyone about it.
And if it's on SD, don't even bother, it's sold out within a few minutes if it's anything worth buying.

It's all about timing. You can hate the resellers, but this deal went live Friday night. Plenty of B&M's had this Saturday morning - I had friends post there were stacks of Touchpads when they bought theirs - the employees were surprised at the pricing, as they were completely clueless. Take it for what it is.

People are straight up predators I guess, probably 2/3 or more of the sales are to profiteers trying to make a quick buck.
DAMNIT!
The BB about 5 min from my house got a shipment today but are totally sold out. BASTARDS!
I've heard a lot of this, I guess a lot of BB's are getting shipments today, the problem is that people are already camping out waiting for them to arrive lol.
Yeah, I'm not keeping up to date enough on this thing so I'm most likely just going to chalk it up as "no big deal." I didn't jump on it over the weekend because I couldn't figure out a use for it. Monday morning I figured, eh what the hell I'll find a use and it's $100 to play see if a tablet is useful for me (in the future).
Well apparently 2 BB near me have both 16 and 32 gb versions. On hold with both locations (thanks work multiple lines!), guessing I'm not the only one wanting to get one...
why does everyone want one? isn't webos dead? what can anyone do with it besides being a web browser and mp3 player, no new apps.
people on sd are going crazy over this, seriously crazy.
Nice!! :thumbsup:posting from Touchpad! :biggrin:
