Ordered from Argos this morning @ around 4am and selected home delivery for this coming weds, no confirmation email so I've just rung them and there is no sign of any order and the website now says out of stock. Checked both my home address and credit card number to no avail. Bummer!

we are all in the same boat mate, I ordered before midnight, it seems as we all thought a system glitch, those with paypal are getting a cancelled notice, but anyone who paid by card, it is as if we never placed an order..

Yup, seems that way.

BTW what is the dodgy hp link everyone is talking about? Why is it dodgy?
 
there are sevral users on Hotdeals who think there is still a chance, but 5 or 6 of us have phoned up and been told the exact same thing you did..

my CS operator told me it was now discontinued and there would not be any more stock from Argos
 
Heading to a load of CPWs today and will grab any/all docks, cases and keyboards I can. Will stick them all on MM and just return or eBay any surplus ones.

Reserved one dock for myself at a store and they said their next closest store has 3 so looks good!

top bloke! put me straight down for a touchstone if you get one. or let me know in trust when its on sale!

Very decent of you! A bit bold though, considering your own TouchPad has not arrived yet :D

I go away for 2 days and miss it again.

Ocuk member who offered me his spare touchpad has now changed his mind too.

:(

I have rarely seen such greed to be honest, I suppose if I had 10 I might think about it putting them on ebay, but I would like to think I would not....

what is more annoying is all this could have been avoided if 1 per customer had been implemented from the start, implementing it now is too late

Same. I think HP and other retailers were caught with their pants down a bit. Who was the OcUK member?
 
Cleaned out central Bristol's CPWs and PC World and picked up 3 docks and 1 keyboard. No cases unfortunately.

The keyboard may be for me but is anyone here in need of one? If so one CPW had one more in stock so let me know and I'll grab it.

Good luck and here's hoping. Need ata least one case and touchstone.

Blimey, you did well. I've been to loads of shops on the off-chance and found exactly zero accessories and pad in stock! :(
 
I'm considering swapping my touchpad keyboard for a case.. Undecided


I have a Xoom with keyboard and mouse (free offer) and can say I don't use the keyboard/mouse very often.

The case though is used daily to protect my pride and joy.

I would say case every time.....
