The nearly 600 page HUKD thread on the TouchPad and Pre3 has been marked as spam and has vanished.

That's happened at least one other time earlier today. Don't worry, the thread doesn't get deleted. It gets shoved into an Admin/Mod only area and they can revive it quite easily.


...and now it's back :)
 
Dont think ill bother getting any accessories for mine, i only plan on keeping it until the Tegra 3 Android tablets are out anyway. Will probably get a no name sleeve to keep it in while not in use though.
 
the pre-orders were for the un-released 3G unit weren't they?

Yes but they've now removed them from the site anyway... This lunch time they put up a pre order for both 16Gb and 32GB ones saying they will be getting them back in stock in the next 3 days and will call you to confirm if you still want it or not before despatch
 
i wonder what this will do for the tablet market. will this turn more users on to tablets and help boost sales in the future, or will this perhaps steal enough sales that others suffer and don't show the good sales predicted to perhaps a harm the market, though with android being on it i'm sure this wont be the case.

i wanted a tablet but didn't desperately need one just yet so have held out for now. if i get this one i can't see me upgrading for years to come (i've had my pc for over 5 years and still going good) and especially not when i've paid £89 for one that's top of the range, then have to go back to the normal £400 price tag
 
A picture of it connected might convince me! I guess the product is so new that I can't find any reviews (to see where the power etc plugs in) or my google skills are failing me.

You mean the power lead for the charger itself right? as there no connections between the charger and tablet as it charges it wirelessly, you just plonk it on and it charges automatically.

Yep, All the sites I have seen show it standing without the mains cable. I can imagine what it looks like, just want a picture to see little things like where the microusb port is, and whether the cable is neatly attached to it etc.

Apologies in advance for the terrible pictures with the flash, but these may help (?) -

I should add that it's VERY solid too, you won't easily knock it over and there is a lip so the tablet obviously can't slide off.

The rear stand is metal too and very sturdy so you can adjust it, and the tablet sits on perfectly in portrait or landscape modes.

I don't really know how it works but it's 'magical' :p
 
How can you confirm your reservation has been extended other than the DM from argoshelpers on twitter?

Should i take a print out of the email i got from twitter showing the dm along with the original reservation email incase they kick up a fuss
 
What happend to Argos's online stock??? Obviously with it still showing at full price I take it no one bought any, so where did there stock go??
