I just scored 2 HP touchpads 16gb :D

[L_o_N_e_R]

if you guys already dont know HP is selling their touchpads really cheap(its a fire sale)

i got two of them over amazon for 99 each plus shipping

one of them is for myself which i will be using in school while the other one is for my dad which i think he wants to sell for profit

if you guys want to get one head over to SD or something... you might get lucky


speaking of school the people im rooming with for the upcoming year bailed on me
its not really a problem for me.. but i really wanted to have SCII and DOTA2(when it comes out) buddies to room with :/

so its either im stuck with people i dont know(which i dont have a problem with, unless they're assholes) or by myself, which isnt really that bad just incredibly lonely

well i wont be alone, there will be two other people from the other room, but me in a big room by myself seems pretty depressing

eh more room for my mining rig for bitcoins once i actually make one

still even with that, i cant wait for next month, SF64 3D, new school year, 10 free games for my 3DS, birthday and conclave for a group im in(cookie for the people who know what i'm taking about)(and no its nothing to do with any religion

)

Been looking all over for these. Especially since I heard some people are working to get Android on it.

Out of Stock ftw!

 

[L_o_N_e_R]

go
get it now
http://gifts.barnesandnoble.com/HP-TouchPa...nSeamY-_-10%3A1

just checked, its 20$ shipping from what i heard, but its better than nothing

I wonder how many I should buy without feeling like a complete idiot later on. I mean, this is a nationwide clearance sale, a retailer would have to be idiotic to not drop the price now. Plus, people might not like these as Christmas gifts. I'm probably just gonna buy one for myself.

Oh yeah, and be careful of any links you see, as some people will try to phish you during this frenzied time.

And if you for some reason weren't able to get one: http://news.yahoo.com/99-hp-touchpad-worth-201300190.html

the place where i got it from (onSale via amazon) cancels orders if you get more than two per household.. TBH im still hoping mine doesnt get cancelled :/

so try two, and sell the other one, i've seen people who want it for 150-200(well at least in my area)

if anything the price will go up, its been discontinued and Hp wont make any more of them


thats true, but this link i had saved since before it price dropped, but it doesnt hurt to double check

edit: and if you think that the OS sucks for whatever reason( i have no idea yet) android is being ported over http://rootzwiki.com/showthread.php?t=3327

I just bought a 16GB one for $107 from Barnes and Noble's website. I'm gloriously happy.

i know how you feel... of course i wont be able to use it once it arrives anyways, i have to wait until school starts >_>


oh forgot to mention, you get free 50 GB of storage from box.com

it sucks it cant do netflix though :/

 

[Nathan Drake]

Oh well. I use Netflix on the main computer anyways. It already does everything I want a good tablet to do, so I should be very content. Maybe I'll use the extra money I have leftover to buy a case or something.

 

[FrankensteinTank]

I am seriously considering this but I just bought a laptop recently and I'm still kinda in sticker shock from that. However this is a great price.

 

[dgwillia]

Meh, pretty cool and all, but i just cant really justify 100$ on it

it is, it more or less your last chance until newegg changes their price( they probably will soon, like tomorrow at the earliest) it'll be hard to get them after a while

[dgwillia]

By that logic, the fact that its 500$ down to 100$ means it might spontaneously combust in your lap.

Either way, it'd probally just end up sitting on my shelf getting dusty. (Just like my Ipod Touch, and my other various electronic devices)

 

[amptor]

100 bucks. doesn't apple charge something insane like 600 dollars? lol.

well I think I can pass either way. I have enough clutter as it is. the price on this is interesting to me at most. I am just keeping my money saved for the next time I upgrade my desktop or purchase a new laptop.

sad to say though, an i5 15" apple laptop is about $1600 and that is about $1000 more than it needs to be. 13" will go on sale at some point for $900 but that leaves much to be desired as well.

 

[Wombo Combo]

Grabbed a 16gb cant wait till android get ported.

I'm incredibly surprised how few people knew about this here, it's been everywhere on the internet, i got a 32gb from OnSale selling on Amazon

There's a thread and everything. I knew about it the night before the morning that the sale was due to start happening.

 

[Jamstruth]

They're still selling them for around £300 on Amazon UK

Was totally hoping to snap one up for £60 or something
