Poll: HP TouchPad - $99 in US - any sign of UK drop?

[Ahleckz]

Is there an estimated timeline of when an Android OS will be available then?

 

[dillingerdan]

OK back to a crawl, I doubt anyone that isn't already in the checkout process is going to get one.

Just a heads-up blargos has just added a one tablet per customer clause to their site..... impending price drop?

 

[megakid]

This is a real test of developer race condition checking...

Interlock.Decrement(ref stock);

Going to be some disappointed people on BABS I think. My rep has just called me and despite their system showing 2000+ in stock, they don;t actuallu have any - ZERO. They are getting just 500 tomorrow so only the first 500 orders will be honoured.

Man, I have been struggling to order 1 since 8am. This is ridiculous!!!

I hope they learn from their mistakes and always have a little more server capacity to go at a moments notice.

Nice find.

Dear Tom,

We are now preparing your PC World order for delivery .


This better mean they've actually allocated the stock :\

 

[CocoPops]

Any other HP employees have any luck internally?

Nope

The OS on this tablet seems pretty pants, unless I'm missing something (linux/android port?) there doesn't seem much reason to get one of these?

selpats backwards sprang back to life and allowed me to order a 16gb without issue it seems.

Something like this is a very rare rare thing. The only thing that I think that is comparable is when Glastonbury and big gig tickets go on sale. I think suggesting they should fork out for extra server space for the very limited times this'll happen is a bit daft.

Android is getting ported across.

I've heard it's not too bad, depends on what you're using it for. If it's just the standard browsing/emailing/social updating then it's perfectly fine. But there's a lot of communities really starting to work on getting android/other OS' on these now. I doubt it won't be long until you can get them working on these devices perfectly fine.

ARGHHHHHHHHHHH LABS are doing my tree in!

They don't even have to buy extra servers. Just some sort of contingency plan in rare cases like this!

Stuck on after verified by visa, no emails, nothing - How the eff am I supposed to know what will be fulfilled or not now?
