Would you mind giving us the full product name for each item. I would like to check if my nearest poundstretcher has any in stock before I pay them a visit.

Poundland electronic stuff is branded as "signalex", if you google-images it you'll see some better images.

Read on the xda forums the signalex stand above can start to open by itself due to the weight so that could be an issue for others (or the person has a faulty unit)..... Anyway a string or something to stop that might be useful to try.

Testing out box, added my fav. playlists over and added a few films. Very happy with it now, just trying to work out how to sync my bookmarks, calendar and contacts over now (use a mac...).

A few films!? They only let you upload like 35mb files don't they?

I haven't tried, but the 50gb service they sell on the website is files up to 1gb, not sure if it's the same deal as you get with the Touchpad.

It is not.

 

[Wicksta]

It is not.

Is that just a silly guess? As I am currently uploading an 800mb file right now. I also tried a 3gb file and it told me to upgrade my account.

Seriously, why do people post stuff as fact without having a clue or even doing a quick test?

used it as an alarm clock this morning
is there anyway to silence the alarm without putting in the 4 digit passcode
very hard when you can hardly see first thing!

Thank you for your pre-order for the HP TouchPad. As you know, we
have been trying very hard to get our hands on stock of this product.

which we feel is fair to pass on to our customers. As a result we
have to cancel the order you placed.

You will soon receive an official order cancellation email; however
we have kept a record of your interest in the HP TouchPad, and you

We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience or disappointment caused

Good luck then Wicksta, I doubt there are many of those around (at least not yet)!

Blimey, you're selling it already?!!

Hahaha no, this one is for me, although if they are really that worth anywhere near that much.... sheesh.

It was the 64gb that arrived by the way (and a 16gb for a friend), I just got back.

Sorry for awful pic. It's white as well, I didn't realise that!

 

[Robbo]

Nice, lucky you!

 

[dasyad]

Dayum!

£350 isn't good enough.

 

[Wicksta]

Nice, lucky you!

Don't think I'm going to open it until I actually know how rare these things are! Although I feel a bit guilty doing that (I had genuinely bought it for my own use because more space is always nice and was only £159) I can't really justify keeping it for myself if it really is worth over £500 and I have a 32gb :/.
