Poll: HP TouchPad - $99 in US - any sign of UK drop?

[PhillyDee]

Only had time for the update and download a couple of apps for it. Pretty much it! It was a busy night, and didn't get much of my book read either! I do love it though! The bluetooth keyboard is excellent too.

I do say good luck for those of you who didn't get one, I was in the same boat!

Incidently, you shut up them buggers on the 'other forum'! That'll learn them :evil:

 

[Greebo]

I still can't decide whether to buy a keyboard for it or not. Are they really that useful/good?

 

[PhillyDee]

If you do typing, I would say yes. Not only that, but they also have volume up/down, track skip, power, backlight etc. Its far easier and faster to type on the keyboard than the touchscreen.

Anyway, off to bed. I can hear my mattress calling me!

Not sure why but the 32 g one just reappeared on John. Lewis as out of stock

Might be worth watching.....

Can't see it. Anyone know if its been taken down again?

A shop has about 300 in stock but unfortunately the 16gb is £179.99 and the 32gb is £209.99. GRRRRRRR

I called up in a panic to get one, but unfortunately the prices are TOO HIGH.

They had to buy the stock in especially, hence the increased prices.

Still there for me. Only the 32gb version though.

'Due to limited stocks of this popular item we regret that orders are limited to one per household.' on John Lewis site.....

It rhymes with 'Outflight'

 

[ShortWarning]

Why does everyone try to hide the names of companies?

I'm pretty sure you're allowed to name them all, as long as you're not talking about a product that OCUK sells.

I'm rubbish at rhymes!

 

[16-bit]

Tis Insight.

 

[Omega]

Are these worth it then? I can get a 16gb for 85 still..does it play like flash video well and can you connect hdmi etc?

You sure they got stock?

Ah, I thought it was 'products' that OCUK sell.... And considering the size of Insight, I thought I wouldn't risk it.

[Chiz]

Is anyone actually going to pay those prices though? £180 for 16gb? £210 for 32gb?
