You could pick them up and ship them to us when you get back to the UK? How long you going for? Im going on holiday on the 5th September so i need to either get it before then of after then. Really would appreciate it if you could help me + You would make £30.

Unfortunately the stock is sold out on Best Buy USA, I just got lucky. So I can't become a mass importer for everyone.

Ok nevermind.

Might be a plan to keep reserving all the stock in any local Argos for a few days. Then if a UK thing is announced later you can grab one.

Oh ok sorry. Thought you were going to collect them, oh well.

There almost certainly won't be any HP touchpads available in the UK and certainly not at £99.

Why won't they just drop them to £99 and be done with it.

Why won't they just drop them to £99 and be done with it.

Because people will pay £199+ and the retailers over here love flogging a dead horse to the general public.

What's all the fuss about? I doubt the price will drop to £99 and even if it does you can pay an extra £50 to get a Tegra Android tablet with much more app availability and more importantly a future...

First and foremost... A decent 10" IPS tablet for sofa based web browsing. (Completely different to a cheap Android tab like the Vega)

Because people will pay £199+ and the retailers over here love flogging a dead horse to the general public.

Most have put the price up due to all the interest (Wait a month or two after the hype dies down and there'll be a few cheap ones around, same with the Pre 3)

 

[shaffaaf27]

if by xmas I can buy a pre3 and touchpad for 100quid, I'm on it haha.

hmmm are best buy all sold out, even the local stores?

 

[benrees21]

don't think you can unfortunately. Most US stores will only ship to a US address.

Unless you do have a US address...

See with that price of one of those shipping companies then plus the import tax it just doesn't make it worth it.

 

[mimminito]

As I said get it from Amazon ASAP via that link. Shipped to UK £85 incl. taxes etc

EDIT: Sold Out!
