Look like they came and went, only the supplier with stock shows along with their current price. I have a confirmed order for £63. Remains to be seen if it ships, but it's a big US seller so fingers crossed.

BTW, search for FB454UT

Might order something else instead, what's the best customs pre-paid shipping firm?
 
Hmmm... Anyone from OcUK on Amazon.com right now?

No idea about the best one, just use one that's not subscription based. BundleBox

Lol, more like clear confirmation people will buy a $99 tablet. Maybe it's not totally dead?

Well,
I was originally planning to get an iPad...
It looks like this device does indeed support multitouch.

I think I'll try and pick one of these up if they can be had for less than £100, and cross my fingers that TouchOSC gets ported across from iOs/Android...

EDIT: Does anyone know what shops apart from Argos have these in stock?

EDIT2: Does anyone think that HP could still be making a profit selling these at $99?
