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

[Robbo]

Bah, I get so confused by the constant changes. Apologies if I have broken any rules.

As do we all.

 

[Montala]

Well I won't be able to get one of the 6000 available on Monday because I'm travelling to see a customer - however a colleague doesn't want his backorder so looks like I'm buying it off him at cost fingers crossed!

Sorry, I'm lost again... are we talking about A***s here, or somewhere else?

Thanks!

Gah! Getting a bunch in stock next week, but only for our retail branches, and I don't have any branch manager friends. They will all be bought up by the sales staff!

Which company is this?

 

[Prickul]

err, it's on pcw but it's priced at £1,000...

Thanks for the clarification, but I am not one of them!

I am still a bit tempted by the DSG offering, but I expect they are all gone by now.

Sounds like a bargain to me!

Ordered 2 bundles of the 32gb as I only just saw this

Ones for me and I'm hoping my Dad will want one. If we don't want the accessories I will just sell them on MM.

Been waiting soooo long.

where from?

 

[Tobes]

From the site which people have named on page 295 of this thread. I'm not breaking the rules sorry

Was your order confirmed immediately?

I still can't decide whether to go for this offer or not... it's a lot more than £115, but it would be good to have the official accessories also... decisions, decisions!

 

[Tobes]

It was acknowledged so I don't think it's a confirmation. But if they sold out they would take them off like they did with the 16gbs.

 

[jrodga2k5]

Bundles still available, won't be buying myself however

 

[Deleted member 66701]

Wow, they have over 6,000 employees in the UK alone?

13,000 at the last reckoning. Down from 16,000 just a few years ago and post EDS acquisition.

HP employs 325,000 staff worldwide.

Is the £249 deal worth it for the 32gb?

Touchpad 32GB - £184.16
Touchstone - £39.90
Case - £24.94

How much did you guys pay for the accessories at sale prices?

 

[Tobes]

It's a premium of £38 overall I think. But I would quite happily pay £200 for the Tablet so I'm ok with it.

 

[Montala]

Blow it... just ordered one from the 'three letter company'.

I rembered to enter the code (TABLET5) for £12.45 discount, and have just received an order acknowledgement.

Wonder how long it will be now before the "Sorry, but we have run out of stock..." letter arrives!

Will be keeping my fingers crossed for a few days!

Damn, that's more than the population of some countries! We do live in the cyberpunk future, in which megacorps are nations unto themselves! It's just that, to paraphrase Gibson, the futuristic-looking Touchpads are not evenly distributed!

/gets coat

 

[Kristoph]

Hmm. I don't have the cash lying around for that...

I'd go for that at £249 if I did though.
