HP Pre 3 released

[scrlk]

Err, a Touchpad...does that count as an accessory?

Just received my 32GB touchpad and I have to say it's stunning - I literally have no idea how HP managed NOT to make this product a runaway success. #missedopportunity

Still waiting to hear on my Pre3 order at Clove - off on holiday tomorrow so I hope they will honour the partial refund and not charge me full price! (ordered yesterday AM).

It suffered from poor marketing and a high price.

Yeah, I'd imagine it'd have to be far better than the iPad considering it was in the same price range, which it wasn't. People are getting it now because you can't go wrong for £100 really

The demand for a cheap, capable tablet is out there - proven by the extreme demand of TouchPads.

Palm Eurostore is being hammered again. Everything is showing up in plain HTML for me.

Edit: Just seen above post. Well, at least we have a few days off!

If I don't get one of these having missed out on the touchpads I'm going too self-immolation in protest!

 

[scrlk]

Damn it, HP need to get more servers to serve the Palm EMEA pages!

So it seems HP sold a bunch yesterday, anyone know what how much they were charged after the 299 autho?

 

[manveruppd]

Oh the irony of this! I went around town asking shops whether they were carrying this all afternoon yesterday, and didn't even think to check the web! Guess I'll have to hope that more stock comes through. Or order one at full price from the places still listing them and send it back if they don't refund the difference.

For customers that have outstanding orders for the Pre 3 with Clove:

Your order is not guaranteed. We will only be able to fulfil your order should stock be made available to us by HP. This is the information we await at the moment – when/if stock will be available and at what price.

FFS, why is this so hard.

Stop rubbing it.

So whats the latest? Are any retailers gonna have the pre 3 for £50?

 

[KiTBoH]

Site just says wait until Friday to find out. Might be that they're offering the stock to companies that already had pre orders or something.

Seems like if you didn't pay the £300 and wait for a refund you aren't very likely to be able to get hold of one. No doubt people will be spam refreshing the page 24/7 to buy massive amounts to sell on ebay

I hope there is a limit of 2 per customer/order. ******* sick of these profiteers.
