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

[lay-z-boy]

theres a huge thing about android being ported over as we speak.

does anyone know if this has a usb for a gamepad ?

Don't think the TP supports USB OTG but you could use a bluetooth one potentially.

just spoke to Staples, they said they will only honour a maximum of one per person and they cant guarantee at present that any order will be honoured...

I spoke to staples, said id been billed and best wait for 48 hours when ill either have received an email confirmation or the money back....

Bit tight they take the money before shipping or even allocating stock...lol

oh well cross my fingers.

Why not? I'm guessing this is why i still haven't received my 2nd confirmation email from them.

Just waiting on delivery conf from staples now. Had the security check and the order conf email.

Come on! I need some sleep!

Just had a good rant on the phone to purple shirts, after they sold my reservation. Not impressed at all =/

I have a reservation with Argos, but the price hasn't dropped yet.

Capitalism. People are willing to pay that much for them so there is a market there to deliver that.

Knew this would happen with these on eBay. Some people are idiots. Its similar to the wiki article, people get into a frenzy and pay stupid amounts.

Did anyone order one from Comet yesterday?

I got mine in at 7.16pm, order is still processing (no dispatch), I'm just getting twitchy

I have a 32GB reserved in Hull @ Argos until later today if anyone wants it (and get refund when they drop the price). Obviously its a £430 outlay again as I did last night at Comet.
Best i can do is offer the reservation away and u take your own chances.
Obviously im not selling or asking for a trade so it don't break any rules IMO, but don't contact me if your a new to OCUK member as i want it to goto a genuine forum contributor

Yes. I ordered after you. I phoned them up earlier and they told me it will be with me tomorrow.
