Fairly sure we're all screwed, optimism fading.
HP y u have this PR stunt?

My room is TouchPad mission control at the moment. Well in excess of 100,000 pixels dedicated to trying to secure a sale

I'm in a cottage in yorkshire with 1mb internet, and I'm sitting in bed with about 20 tabs open on my laptop. I really want a 32gb one, especially if amazon don't end up shipping my 16gb one.

And no money gets taken until something is dispatched! Nothing to loose....

I'm off to bed, hopefully my Amazon order comes through as I don't have any faith in PCW honouring my reserve.

Good luck to the rest of you.

This is getting borderline mania. I can't sleep knowing I'll miss it.

Well, not really fanbois. Quite simply it is a silly amount of hardware for the money. It represents value if you left it on the side as a glorified photo frame....

Not really. It is an incredible price for what it is.

I got a confirmation email at 00:04 and still got out of stock

Does it specifically state in the email (or in your "My account") that it's out of stock? My confirmation came at 00:05:45:

Considering the type of people who are buying these now, I reckon the developer community will be very, very good. And to be honest, even if nothing is ever released for it, you still can't get anything like this for the money.
