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

[Macro]

My CPW order from 7pm last night that I made over the phone and still have yet to receive any email for was just delivered via DHL express

In hind sight this seems to have been the best way to get one...

Source?

Try adding more than one

Maybe Hp are doing this just to give Apple the finger before they leave the hardware market

Maybe they are hoping that they will end up with much more HP tablets in peoples homes than iPads

OMG FFS, do you not read anything?

FOR THE LAST TIME. HP ARE PULLING WEBOS AND ALL ASSOCIATED TABLET / MOBILE HARDWARE, PERMANENTLY, FOR EVER, THE END.

NO MORE UPDATES, NO MORE FIRMWARES, NO MORE SOFTWARE.

Have a read of what Stephen DeWitt, the head of HP's webOS global business unit has to say:

It doesn't mean -- in any way, shape or form, at all -- that we are abandoning webOS. In fact, we're allowing webOS to fulfill the vision that I think everyone in the industry wants to see, and that is a viable alternative to other tablet or mobile operating systems that are out there that have their own baggage.

Just pay on mastercard, then you wont have an issue regardless

It seems I have one reserved at comet! It's a 32GB think I'm going to keep that for myself and pass the 16GB on

Don't know if this got posted last night, but Android already on the Touchpad http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/jqyp3/one_of_the_guys_at_work_went_to_best_buy_saturday/

 

[Jabbs]

Can't seem to locate one of these anywhere.

Why would Misco drop the price now when they can't keep the site up for more than 2 seconds?
