Anyone know if it's possible to pick one of these up?

I'd really like it for testing/study and reading the newspaper on the way to work.

Other than checking your local stores and signing up for the hp notification..I think the chances are real slim now....

The price point will remain the same according to HP (as long as it's an actual dealer and not a reseller).

The issues remains that it is just impossible to find one anymore. I guess we'll see what happens towards the end of October.

I snagged a 32gb one from Amazon a few days after the announcement.

Lucky for you guys I hear HP is finishing up a "last batch" to satisfy the demand. It will only be sold on the HP website though. Google for more info

Missed the chance to snag one up again. If any of you guys gets lucky enough to find some in stock, hook a fellow calgunner up I'll gladly buy one off of you for the discounted price.

I'm done trying to get one of these stupid things. As usual with HP this has turned FUBAR.
I'm going to just spend my money on guns that aren't already outdated. Guns have a better resale value anyways.

Last batch will be finished by beginning of last week of September. Employees are getting first bids that week but 1 per. It wont impact how many their going to release that much.

Ok, so the last batch was only 20k and for employees only. Not all of them sold so hopefully they will release them to the public for sale.

I am getting mine today and will get it dual-booted after I am done with my AR-15 project.

Co-worker got his Monday and its a nice paper weight. All he can do is surf the internet, not many apps out there. Dual-booting will be a must for most people.

Yes sorry both show OOS. FYI everyone I went to the last sight to have Touchpads and they had the Nook Color for $99.
http://www.bandtcommodities.com/nook-color-1/
I just bought one. This already has Android ready to boot. Instructions online. The new $99 tablet?
I will repost when order has shipped and then received

So I got a call from BandT who I referenced two posts up to confirm my Nook order. They said they do have in stock and shipping will be 5-7 days. I got to talking with the lady and she said how crazy they were with the Touchpad frenzy. I told her I could imagine. She then said, "Would you like one"!! I asked for details. She said they are definitely getting a new batch of 16gb on Oct 12th to be for sale. They are working on an email invoice to all customers that were interested but did not get one. She added my name to the list and said to expect an email by Monday. The best part is that their price is $129!! Way better than HP. Their prices are better than anything I have seen on the web. Even the Nook goes for $200 plus most places. Anyway if you didn't get one and are still interested, contact the company above and maybe you can get on the list as well.

Fingerhut.com shows 32gb for $299 in stock! There was a coupon code e1992 for $60 off but reports are coming in that it doesn't work anymore.

there's quite a few i saw on craiglist. fluctuating prices for 16gb and 32gb. though i see some greedy ones asking a 32gb price on a 16gb. not too sure how savvy all these listers are on closing/removing their ad once sold. but there were pages and pages of it.

unsure how many would buy to put android on it. i still have to see a fully working build. someone i know has it working but the wifi doesn't turn off so it eats up battery. and if it hangs up, one has to restart and manually remove and add the wifi connection again. else, the other builds i heard about do not have wifi enabled.

unsure how much it's h/w vs. s/w. i played with the 16gb samsung galaxy at costco for a few minutes. seems so much faster than the touchpad. but hey.. it's half the price though if a good and fully working build of android can be put on these things.
