HP Touchpad 16GB $99, 32GB $149, Active for .edu

Embed sent out an email saying they aren't getting anymore stock. So if you have b/o I hear your sol. I got an email saying my orders were canceled but they still show in the system.

Heard in another thread someone said

If you see the item status as "Admin" in the second status link, you /should/ be good to go. That's what another guy in the same boat said who called HP to ask about it.
He was referring to this link http://h20497.www2.hp.com/os/public.tcl

So now I don't know what to believe because I have both the b/o and admin status.

I received a cancellation email, then a confirmation email, then another cancellation email, but its still showing up on the HP SMB page. With the link you sent me, I'm getting the "admin" under order status. I hope it's true, I was so bummed when I received the cancellation email(s). We'll see how this goes, it says my planned delivery date is 9/1/2011
 
Ordered the 23rd, never got a cancellation email, admin status, est. ship date 28th, delivery date scheduled for the 2nd. let's see what happens...
 
I have the admin status also. Im keeping my hopes up but it sounds like the smb side isnt getting more so if you have B/O its not likely to get one.

they are sure taking their time on updating these and or canceling them. One big fubar.
 
Maybe I'm good to go then. I see "admin" and no B/O. Would be nice to get one even though I got my cancellation e-mail. They still haven't released the hold on my credit card either.
 
I have tried in houston.. I think no store is going to receive any more orders.... unless they are hording it for sunday morning...

yeah just checked, out of stock everywhere and no more showing in transit in houston :(

Unfortunately you Houston (and probably Austin) folks are SOL because of the tech communities...they're more aware and faster to buy stuff like this than, say, Tuscaloosa, Alabama. BB website has reported units in stock there since the beginning! I've thought about driving an hour there and cleaning them out to feed all you poor souls but I just don't have the time right now. :(

closest bb to houston that a manager said had stock was college station with 17 of the 32gb touchpads in stock. i'm sure that will sell out fast if it hasn't already. oh well, guess i will keep playing this game for a while longer into sept.
 
Got mine today. Was able to snag a 16GB that wasn't picked up with a voucher.

Now I need a case and that touchstone charger.
 
Have any of you had any problems with your wifi dropping?

I've got 4 tp's going in the house now and not one of them can maintain a solid connection

using a dir-655 as a router and two dir-601's as AP's.. connecting to any of them doesn't work at first, or it will connect then drop after 5 minutes, etc

been reading around and it seems most people with dir-655's are having these problems.. so now I must ask if anyone out there is having zero issues what router are you using?

thanks

Zero WiFi issues here, using the stock FIOS router.
 
Just hooked up a wbr-1310 as an AP and still has problems

all 4 are having these issues..

I'll try using one of them as the actual router.. maybe that will help
 
Man, my flat in Asia has a DIR-655. That sucks. Maybe there will be a firmware update to fix it??
 
Anyone know where I can get the HP custom case thing in-store for $20-25?

I needed one of these for myself and another for my parents. I picked up one today at a Wal Mart for $50 and one at Office Max for $30. Then I drove back to Wal Mart and had them price match the Office Max price on my receipt. It is a royal pain in the ass to get Wal Mart to price match anything around here :rolleyes:

Just check around at Staples, Best Buy, Office Max, Office Depot and see who has the items in stock. Office Max has these on clearance so you need to walk into the store and check the clearance rack to find one.
 
Anyone else think that the screen is......a too dim and not as sharp? I have it on full brightness and I know it's an IPS but........lacking compared to my ipads.

Do I have a defective one?



p.s - autodim = off

No issues connecting to G or N bands on a Belkin 600HD or the mobile hot spot on my Evo.

I have 3 DIR-655 routers in the house and 1 DIR-601. 2 Touchpads in the house and have had no problem using them. Using WPA2 on the routers. Although my TP does drop occasionally when using wifi tether on my android.

Mine get really bright, especially with auto-dim off. Maybe I'll take a pic tomorrow.
 
I got mine and it's cool and all for basic usage but the apps suck. With android whenever I needed something the phone can't natively do there was a free app that would do it. The one thing that sucks the most is how terrible this thing is for an e-reader. There is only one app out there that can read the formats out there but it screws everything up so much, reading books is a 1000x better on my evo.

Also it seems like most good apps are not free, does webos not allow ads?
 
Why does it suck as an eReader? Too bright?

(Mine hasn't arrived yet)

The only app to read e-book formats is just terrible. It screws up and adds a bunch of symbols where apostrophes should be, is laggy, and sometimes takes like a minute to load a page.

I'll buy it off you...$110 shipped.
 
I need 3 of these pretty bad and I'm having like no luck at all =x

You and a million others...

I'm only looking for 20, 1 for each bathroom, 1 for each member of my brothers Special Forces Team, 1 for me, 1 for two of my customers and the rest to gouge people on ebay to pay for the others.
 
Regardless of what happens to webOS, I'd expect at least a temporary uptick in the amount of new apps for the TouchPad. Hopefully a nice eReader will make it out.
