yeah.. pretty much my thought. If we can get some version of android on it, then it will be all the better. But i think WebOS is alright. Honestly, if HP wouldnt have botched the whole thing, they could have had a contender IMO.
[TouchPad Development] fham:
Spent about 5 + hours instores in SoCal to score one. Zilch.

Walmart: Went to 2 separate stores. First store mentions having two items which sold Friday night. Second store, none in stock. Manager says something about HP instructing corporate to ship all stock back to HP.

Office Depot: 2 stores. Both sold out by 10 am (Sat). Manager in one store confirms no chance of restock.

Staples: Sold out in 2 stores by 9 am.

Best Buy: 2 stores both displaying signs of item being sold out.

Costco: 2 stores. Again one store manager confirms receiving email last night from Costco corporate to send all stock back to HP.

The less said about my online buying tries the better.
[TouchPad Development] jmbradd:
Best Buy is reportedly sending all of their stock back to HP. HP confirmed that they are only temporarily out of stock and should have more in stock after the weekend.

For those interested, the best source of info is here: http://slickdeals.net/forums/showthread.php?t=3220862

There simply is no substitute for slickdeals.net!

You can now sign up to be notified when HP gets more in stock.

Ordered mine from HP Business after a lot of patience and a worn-out "refresh" button. I'd pay up to see Honeycomb or ICM on the TouchPad.
[TouchPad Development] m16-maniac:
i got lucky

i tried and tried all the online stuff to no avail.

i called all the walmarts, targets and staples in my neighborhood but got nothing...

everyone said "you missed it", "we are sold out" etc...

anyhow i called one walmart about 50 miles away and they said they had them but they had never discounted the price yet.

i called back to the store 2x and finally convinced the manager to call some of the other walmart stores

he told me he could not hold the item (against store policy) but he gave me 45mins to get to the store before he went out and discounted the prices.

i was there in one hour (had to get gas and lots of road construction)

the $99.00 were all gone so i got me a 32GB for $149.

30 mins later my son and his girlfriend got the last two.

it was all done.
[TouchPad Development] iggypop123:
you can, but good luck trying

FYI HP Notification

Used the link provided by ERIFNOMI (above) and registered using work and personal email addresses (using Chrome).

Wife's attempt to do the same (using Firefox) is going in circles.

Maybe that link has blown out too.
[TouchPad Development] sgtguthrie:
They're not selling them, they're sending them all back to hp...
[TouchPad Development] lmbebo:
got 32gb at staples this morning. Was told at first they had only 32gb. 5 mins later someone asks for 16gb and they said they had 1 left ...

do hope they get android on here! Willing to donate.

supposedly have a 16gb coming from HP as well
[TouchPad Development] cohowap:
I got an order confirmation from HP SMB, but HP reps are saying SMB site has a glitch and orders will be cancelled.

I'm hoping they just backfill the orders with bestbuys stock.

Anyone know more about orders that were processed from SMB site?
[TouchPad Development] RipplingHurst:
Can't wait to see this. Bought two yesterday, saying it's "processing", hopefully it will come okay.

Cheers, subscribed.
[TouchPad Development] mythe:
This is what slickdeals says, which I believe is fairly credible:

Apparently this is what they put together from many calls to HP
[TouchPad Development] HeroOfTime:
Ditto. Hope this works out since $99 is a heck of a deal.
[TouchPad Development] Negi84:
will hp canada reduce the price as well in usa? because in canada the price is still 399$ for the 16gb and 499$ for the 32gb....

$150 for 32GB in Hawaii. BB,just unpacked what was headed back to HP. Now,on shelves.

HP.. best marketing campaign ever!
[TouchPad Development] TheShoura:
just voicing an oppinion

If it is ported

I will get an HP touchpad, likely the $99 16GB

And throw 30-40 to the dev team that does it
[TouchPad Development] TravisAntonio:
Not only android, It will Run Windows XP and Windows 7, I will work for make it If I buy my Touchpad.
[TouchPad Development] strictlyphat:
Good luck guys. I had one in hand ready to purchase but put it down. Why would you buy this??? Save some money and get a galaxy tab
[TouchPad Development] gameplace123:
What?

It nor any other ARM based tablet will not run Windows (7 or XP) natively. Those versions simply weren't made for it. Windows 8 otoh...
[TouchPad Development] TravisAntonio:
Please don't talk without nosense, there are emulators that can be ported -.-

[TouchPad Development] shane369:
Now I was told something different by OD today. I had order 2 for in store pickup today using the cash option. Well, I went to pick them up and the young lady who I first spoke with had actually sold mine to someone else earlier in the day. Even though they were set aside for me. They asked for 2 touchpads and for some reason she assumed they were me!! Well, needless to say the manager came over and told me he would call the district manager and ask if he could give me store credit for the 2 touchpads to use towards the purchase of any other tablet in the store. After he got off the phone with the district manager, he came back and told me the district manager had checked and that there were plenty in the warehouses. They would be bringing them in next week. The first 2 that come in are supposed to be set aside for me, but we shall see!! So, there you go 2 different stories from 2 different managers. So, I don't know that I'd count OD out yet.
[TouchPad Development] TravisAntonio:
No it was my fault so I'm the only one who needs to say sorry ;)
[TouchPad Development] brammy:
Hp small and medium business stil has them though the site is getting thrashed by all the traffic. Orders do go through. I placed two order for 32s and received confirmation emails.

I'd glady donate for a dual-boot, an emulator or a "root for dummies"
[TouchPad Development] TravisAntonio:
LOL @ "Root for Dummies"
[TouchPad Development] jumphour:
Man, I hope that's not true....I FINALLY got my order in for 2 on HP SMB, and got the order confirmation.
[TouchPad Development] brammy:
Hey! I know my limitations!
[TouchPad Development] socalnathan:
Is there any left anywhere? I had to work all day and now all the retailers are all sold out. any online retailers ? anyone know?
[TouchPad Development] Luminair:
Best Buy is going to begin selling them soon.
[TouchPad Development] SimzzDev:
Check Ebay.

I was lucky and got one before they sold out here:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/HP-Touchpad...=US_Tablets&hash=item484147b822#ht_2468wt_932

DataVision had about 6,000 of them and sold them off at $125 apiece.

Unfortunately, they're sold out now, but if you watch Ebay you'll probably find others doing similar.
[TouchPad Development] brammy:
I REALLY hope its not true. My orders showed "Sent to order verification" for the longest. Two different shipping methods to boot. Hope they weren't selling what they were hoping Best Buy was returning.
[TouchPad Development] droid512:
theres no return policy on them though
[TouchPad Development] lynyrd65:
I made up 3 of those 6000 sold :p
[TouchPad Development] Phillip Fry:
Do you think most users can get by with 16GB or would it be better to go for the 32GB?
[TouchPad Development] lynyrd65:
16gb was all I could find.
[TouchPad Development] southpawmedic:
I've gotten as far as the checkout page but can't get past the server error!!!!

lol...have been. getting cramps in my fingers
[TouchPad Development] desertbears:
I bought a 32GB thru the HP business website. Used corporate discount so paid $135. HP servers are super busy it took about an hour with all form resubmits. I would love to dual boot something else on it like Android 2.3.4. So ya looking forward for the donate link.
[TouchPad Development] southpawmedic:
Anyone else get their orders to go through at the HP SMB site tonight?
[TouchPad Development] mputtr:
nope. i got mine at best buy. 32gb model. last one in stock at that store
[TouchPad Development] probean:

i'll add 20 bucks to devs piggy bank. honeycomb!

I "WILL" DONATE "$50.00"+ + for any Dev that can get Android workin on my HP Touchpad!!!!
[TouchPad Development] southpawmedic:
On Wednesday? It was showing shipment would go out on the 26th.

Nice...i ordered mine last night from HP and still says "	Item being processed"
[TouchPad Development] asbestos:
Count me in for $20 for Android and another $20 if HC or ICS can get ported to it.
[TouchPad Development] lchen5:
Android 2.x should be straight forward

Android 2.x version porting should be straight forward because Qualcomm Snapdragon dual-core APQ8060 processor should be also used on some Android phones. Source code should be available somewhere for this processor.

It's OK for me even it just runs Android 2.x. I prefer a stable version which works and is optimized for all touchpad hardware components. For example, the driver can utilize CPU/GPU hardware acceleration to play video/audio, so it can play 720P video smoothly and also consume less battery.

I will definitely donate some money for a stable Android. Actually, Android touchpad porting team can charge for $20 after releasing a stable version Android. I think many would buy to extend hardware life as long as the Android is stable and optimized for the touchpad hardware components.

[TouchPad Development] UntoldGlory:
Yeah, I'd pay for that, not sure if I'd donate *and then* pay, but one or the other certainly.

Got my order for the 32GB through on Small Business. Shows as "processing", but the charge is pending on my account, so that's a good sign. If it goes through, I'll give the 16GB one I picked up this morning to the wife.
[TouchPad Development] sdc177:
Question for those purchasing from HP...

Did you get a confirm email?

They have charged my credit card (or at least a temp authorization) but I haven't received a confirm...not sure what that means.
[TouchPad Development] AbstractRealist:
I'd donate for sure...

Stupid question I'm sure but if we get a full port of the Android tablet OS does that enable us to then go about legitimately purchases honeycomb apps/games from the marketplace? Or from then on must we take roundabout ways to acquire the apps?
[TouchPad Development] 540ESP:
got mine from Costco.ca yesterday. they had 70 units in stock but they didn't last long. a few buddies of mine got them as well. can't wait for some droid up in this *****!
[TouchPad Development] lchen5:
Why not. Google should have no problem to let you buy/download Apps form Android market place. Microsoft/Apple can not sue the porting team as long as the team doesn't do the commerical things.
[TouchPad Development] cirian75:
After one now

But in UK

let me know if comet/PC world etc sell em at cut price.
[TouchPad Development] Jayvede:
Just got myself one at bestbuy. can't wait to see android running on this thing :-)
[TouchPad Development] chessmaster W/nook:
NEED. 99$. Shouldn't take long :P
[TouchPad Development] xem3ryx:
got mine at radioshack, just so you know they are also selling the demos for 150.
[TouchPad Development] TKG26:
hp.ca still has 32gig units, just ordered mine. There is a glitch in the cart for full price but various people have talked to customer service stating price will be adjusted monday
[TouchPad Development] cirian75:
HP.UK still has full price up

but wont let you add to basket, you click, takes to an empty basket.
[TouchPad Development] Ahmazin:
Got mine this morning at staples

I was the first one there at staples. They were actually not going to price match, but I insisted they call their corporate office (the store manager seemed to be pissed from the very beginning). After about thirty minutes, she price matched it. Got the 32GB for 149.99 plus tax. It would be incredible to have Honeycomb on this tablet. The IPS display is really nice.

Even if it doesn't get ported, having a capacitive IPS screen that I can surf the web, read kindle books and a few games isn't half bad for $150 bucks. I spent more on the zt-180 I got from China a year ago.

One last thing. Keep an eye on best buy if you haven't already gotten one. I actually know that HP will not be accepting the touchpads back from them, so they will probably be back in stores and on the website at the reduced price ASAP!

Good luck everyone... and I YES I would DEFINITELY donate to have Honeycomb on this thing!
[TouchPad Development] BronxKobayashi:
The journey for the HD2 of tablets.

It was five o'clock when I went to intomobile.com and seen

THEE

HP TouchPad for the Charlie Sheen WINNING price of 99 buck. I immeditly geared up for a treak to my local Best Buy. It took a hour to get there on foot. Right before I got to the entrence a guy was leaving with what seem to be a HP TouchPad. I ask him and he confirmed that it was. So when I went to the counter to pic one up the HP rep said I was getting the last one. Once I got to the checkout counter the Same HP rep was purchasing the acctual last one. So after 2 hours and 6 miles of walking in the hot NEVADA sun. I am glad to say that I have the Holy Grail of tablets:)
[TouchPad Development] cirian75:
if I get one, you can have £25 off for that project
[TouchPad Development] JesusFreak316:

I just managed to get my order through! crossing my fingers for this one :D It's my birthday and I ordered this for myself as a present haha.
[TouchPad Development] Krshaw18:
I just went into my local best buy and bought 2 for 99$!! They started selling them today. If online isn't working check in stores! Hope development starts to pickup now that we have this fantastic cheap pad with incredible specs! Crossing fingers for android!

[TouchPad Development] Sincitybronze:
This thread seems to have changed course from whether Android will be ported to HP touchpad to I got one, here's where I got it, here's what I paid, and here's what I'll donate if someone ports it. Perhaps another thread can be created for those who wish to discuss those things so we can keep this one on track.
[TouchPad Development] brickjenks100:
I think someone who is on the development team should create a new thread for touch pad development titled something like Official Touchdroid Development Thread no non development discussion. This is just 29 pages of mainly donation offers, most people don't have time to read through 29 pages to find out what is happening on the development side. Touchddroid FTW
[TouchPad Development] silkander:
GO TEAM!!!

Whoever is willing to try has my support and donation when the mission is sufficiently accomplished :D
[TouchPad Development] sachmm:
I am trying to buy one since last 2.5 hours from the HP SMB website. I have finally submitted the order and it is now stuck on processing for nearly 45 minutes. Did anyone else's take this long?

Will definitely contribute to the Android development work on this device!
[TouchPad Development] taranfx:
Not yet, but soon you will be able to Install android on HP touchpad

Waiting for it
[TouchPad Development] erick161:
I absolutely cannot wait until they port over android. It was kind of a reason why I got this tablet, that and because I really wanted a tablet and 99 bucks was unbeatable. Thanks HP
[TouchPad Development] crispy822:
Ordered mine just a few minutes ago, from best buy, before even seeing this thread. I'm now so freaking stoked right now. CAN'T WAIT!:D
[TouchPad Development] kennyminot:
They still have a long road ahead of them. However, it was worth the $90 investment for a device that could possibly one day have Android with a dualcore snapdragon processor. Hopefully, HP will help out the development community.
[TouchPad Development] fatmams:
Just got mine. Willing to do at least up to $30 FOR ANDROID.
[TouchPad Development] chris heath:
in stock @ bestbuy.com as of 15 min ago. just picked up a 32
[TouchPad Development] arj154:
now out of stock, its annoying that they didnt have the store pick up option, i could've got someone in Canada to pick one up from Buffalo.
[TouchPad Development] DiocletianQ3:
How the hell are you guys ordering and pickup up at BB now? None of the Best Buy's down here open before 10AM. I can't even order though the site, can you give me the link you are all using?

2 Question already.

1- Why Gemini File Manager was pulled out from the App Catalog?

2- I found that in Device Info Menu, there is a "Custom Application" option. Which means...?

Maybe no one knows, but I am curious anyway.
[TouchPad Development] chessmaster W/nook:
Does anyone know where I could get one online, all the stores are sold out...
[TouchPad Development] overthinkingme:
Best buy sale begins today, one per person.
[TouchPad Development] mlasswell:
I'd try Best Buy first. If they're out of stock, try HP's Small Business website. Hover over "Shop for Products and Services" and click on "TouchPad with webOS" under "Small and Medium Business".

I was able to order the 32GB version last night. Although it did take A LOT of page refreshing. Eventually I did get through, submit my CC info and get order confirmation. Now, it says my order is processing. I guess I'll find out tomorrow whether or not the order will be fulfilled.
[TouchPad Development] BigOnes69:
I Got 1 32 last night on Hp Business confirmed email. Ordered 3 more 2 16s and a 32 this morning temp charge on bank account waiting for confirmation email. It looks as though Android will be ported to the SD card first and later to cm7 . On the SD card should give us dual boot so its the best of both worlds. HP is talking about developing WEBOS so I would not give up on that yet.
[TouchPad Development] lunotown:
There is no sdcard slot for the touchpad
[TouchPad Development] ouvreboite:
Seriously, what the point of buying 4 touchpad? Other than sell them $100+ on ebay.

Can't you let the other enjoy this too ?

I just placed an order via HP SMB webstie for $150/32gb - plus tax/2 day UPS shipping (United States) ~$165. Credit card was charged but yet to see an email from HP on confirmation... similar chatter on the precentral forum... it'll probably take a few days (who knows) - but I am looking forward to seeing the development over the coming months and make use of this tablet in a more functional manner...
[TouchPad Development] parsa5:
I bought one thru bestbuy.com last night for in store pickup and received an email stating it was ready for pickup within 10 minutes. I called best buy to reinsure it was and they told me to go ahead and cancel my order cause they dont have any. I called the bluff and went to the store only to see mine sitting on the "sold online" shelf. They proceeded to only charge me the standard 99.99 price rather then make me go thru the price match which was awesome. The tablet is pretty cool nonetheless. I just overclocked it to 1,7ghz and its a huge difference. Before overclock, my atrix clearly out performed the TP in flash video playback but not its as smooth as butter. I will donate no doubt to a good cause like android on the touchpad :)
