Just wanted to make sure you guys know first . . .
HP is currently clearing out their inventory. You can get a Touchpad now for $99. I'd jump on it before they all disappear.

Now if some enterprising developer would just port Android onto this thing!

Hell ya! Am trying to buy one asap. doesnt matter if we couldn't get a honeycomb on it, the community(we) cud surely mod it somehow.
Worth the price as of now.
Is it available in Europe?
As far as europe, the EU should wait until the fire sale is officially announced, which by then all the major retailers including amazon should have slashed their price. The sale is tomorrow, people here in the US got the slip though and snuck through
I guarantee tomorrow best buy will be advertising these for cheap, they have a massive unsold stock that they don't know what to do with, HP told best buy they won't take them back, so they HAVE to sell them for cheap to get rid of them
Thanks crashingout! I will be on lookout.
The hardware is too awesome to miss it, even for poor bastard like me (who thought he can't afford a decent tablet, haha... ).

ATTENTION GUYS, If you want a touchpad for dirt cheap you are going to have to be quick and resourceful. If you want one here is the latest info on where you can find them, as well as the real sale info:
http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2391460,00.asp
go there if you want to get one, and remember, there are a lot of people out there are that are probably thinking $100, thats ****ing cheap!
i just picked up mine (32gb 149$)
Staples.ca has them 16gb 99.99$ and 32gb 149.99$
THEN!. i started googling.. ahhha ..
too good a price to miss..
it WILL run linux or android.. or even just a rooted webos.
and worst case scenario my mom has a new gadget
/Kyndal
If anyone has a touchpad left over let me know... I desperately want one!
Costco has the 32GB Touchpad.
Just picked mine up today for $479.99 for 32gb Model w/Carry Case. Buy now, price match later. Either way, Costco has a 90 day return policy.

That's one thing I'm actually wondering about. What will be the ebay price after every retail shop sells these babies out?
I hope demand won't be big enough for these to sell at 250$. We'll see!

Waited to long. Everybody is sold out. Does anyone have a valid site to buy?
nlinecomputers: try this - http://slickdeals.net/forums/showthread.php?t=3220862
This post seems to be quite up to date. If you read it you'll find out that HP should have a lot of them soon, from BestBuy unsold stock (they give it back to HP rather than sell at 100$).
Grab me one while you're at it

Pricematching with Wal Mart seems like a good idea to try, assuming they have any in stock.
I get into town Monday morning, so I'll try to stop by with a print-out of HP's plan and give it a try.
Yeah I've been watching that site but they have nothing working.
Edit. Datavis says they have one but the site isn't loading for me. Seriously slashdotted.
Hey guys, this was included in slickdeals topic but for some reason removed later.
http://shopping1.hp.com/is-bin/INTE...E3Kg&JumpTo=OfferList#ProductLinkCrossSelling
There may be website errors when you're trying to checkout. That's due to overload and after you try a few times, it should eventually get you through.
Good luck

Anyone know if there's anywhere in the UK that's doing the fire sale? And as for porting Honeycomb over, that would make it insane
We just got one from HP's small business page.
Took about 1.5 hours since I had a lot of HTTP 500 errors and 'page not found', but I figure HP is getting slammed by people trying to buy one.
I just got the 32GB model... idk when I'm going to get it. I bought it from HP.

I am selling my gtab because I ran into some money issue. I love this thing but i have to let go. If you interested please pm me.
Condition: perfect. No scratches
I don't have the original box but I have everything else that came with it.
I am also including the 4gb sd card class 6.
I rooted the tab and its running cm7. it runs perfectly.
Please let me know.
I would only accept PayPal payment.
US only.
Thanks
Not sure if this the right place for such thread.
But any way to but things in prespective, the gtab is currently regularly priced @ $329 (shipped, no taxes, brand new, 12 months waranty) @ buy.com.
And if I am to sell my gtab now, I would wait untill all the debate about NVIDIA dropping support for Harmony Tegra2 (i.e. gtab) past Foryo get resolved, unless you are willing to seriously mark it down.
Best of luck,

I didn't know buy.com was selling it for 329. I should bring the price down to $300. Free shipping.
Well I need the money. So that's why I am selling the tab.
Thanks for the info.
Most places are selling the G-Tab for $299. The max price for a used (or even open-box) should be $250.
I know there's no way I'd buy a used one for the same price I can get a brand spankin, untouched new one.
Yea. True that. I should have posted the thread after looking up the average price for the tab. Thanks for the suggestion. I am hoping to find a buyer.
Amazon has them for $279 new . ( Woot is the Amazon seller) Seems that the woot auction caused a real domino effect for this tablet price wise. They are $299 at Circut City .they been going for $250 ish on Ebay now. 2 weeks ago they were $350.

I don't know what your situation is but seeing how new gTabs are being sold now for an average of $279 you may just need to suck it up and drop your price to be competitive. With the current market conditions you may find it a lot easier to unload yours for around $225.
Just something to think about.
I know this tablet is already a great price for what it cost.
I am just wondering if there is any chance of another sale before xmas, or if there is an official venue I can get refurbs from?
Check out bestbuy. Or htc.com its self.

If you always wait for something to go "on sale" you will never have anything, because something newer and bluer will come around and then you will wait until THAT goes on sale.
Get the one from BB. It's $299. I bought mine last Friday and I think it's great!.

lol. Which is exactly why I always start doing xmas shopping about 3 months a head of time
I narrow down what I am looking for and then evaluate what is coming out, what is out, and what is just going to be unfeasible to get.
I am most certainly not one of those fools who believes it is always better to wait, I've been burned for doing it before.
On the other hand, I also do my best to balance out my budget and I am usually ok with settling.
lol. I bought mine from bestbuy monday and i love it.

I gotta admit, it is the first tablet that has caught my eye.
ipad wasn't impressive, and the galaxy tab just seemed overpriced and rather generic.. (especially at 500$)
BB would be your best bet for finding an open box (They dont sell refurbs in the store, only returned items) possibly on their website though.
You're not going to find them discounted much less than $300, the cost on the item for retailrs is $429, so they are already selling at a loss.
The $299 price was to good to pass up for me. Any lower and we're talking "fire sale".
It's a great device at a great price right now.

Oh, I'll definitely keep that in mind then.
It's sold out on the BB web site and most local (to me) stores are out of them here - there's only one with them in stock within an hour drive, so I doubt they will drop the price. Hopefully they're making more of them and the $299 price wasn't just to sell off what was left. I redeemed some CC points for a bestbuy gift card with the intention of buying one, I just hope by the time they get here I can find one...
I'm considering getting the flyer for xmas.
I noticed at bestbuys website it says "no shipping" and when I check to see if they have it in stock locally it doesn't show up.
I am not hard set on getting it yet, because I'm really wondering if I just want a new toy and it will sit collecting dust after a few weeks of usage..
Or I will seriously use it for ereading/manga purposes.
I'm sure HTC is not manufacturing any more, but that's normal for companies to make a big production run and then move on to the next new device. So whatever stock was out there , when its gone , its gone. Looks like BB is out, so I only see them on other sites now. I guess some of the carriers like Tmob and Sprint still have the 3g/4g versions in stock.
it does sort of suck they haven't officially announced that they are no longer manufacturing it.
Oh well..
Most, or perhaps all manufacturer don't keep assembly lines open just to pump out a few more units. They make a big run, take a look at initial sales and either make one more run or switch over to new hardware. They don't need to announce it, that's just the only way to keep prices competitive. And the hardware guys don't make money selling old products at a reduced price. 6 months is old news in hardware
true.. I may see if I can use the "ship to store option" and see if they can get one..
If not.. oh wells.
Have you considered getting the EVO View 4G? They have brand new ones for $299 (was $275 over Thanksgiving week) which includes shipping and no tax outside of FL.
http://reaganwireless.com/htc-evo-view-tablet.php
FYI, I'm not associated with this company and it was posted previously by others. IMO it's a great deal.
Best buys have recently told me that they may be ordering more. There's still hope for late-comers like me.
I'm sure HTC or some wholesalers has a pile of them somewhere in a warehouse. Like the few hundred tech4less dumped over the weekend at $199.
Well I really wish they would just mark it as "sold out" and take away the add to cart option so we would know.
Small update, I emailed HTC and they said they have no knowledge of the flyer being discontinued.. so something is fishy on the bestbuy side..
I ordered the HTC EVO View 4G from here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150705761318#ht_840wt_1396, $314.00 and free shipping, though I noticed today there's another for $309.00, also with free shipping, here http://www.ebay.com/itm/Brand-New-H...US_Tablets&hash=item2a1583150e#ht_4654wt_1163
It's cheaper than Regan Wireless' $329.00 price right now. He seems to have a pretty good amount. I also plunked down for the SquareTrade warranty.
That's a stock answer form HTC on almost every question. You can just about be guaranteed that HTC has not been manufacturing any Flyers since May 2011. THat would be standard procedure. Whatever their production number was, that's what supply exist. They did make another run of the View / 4g for Sprint.
You really don't think that Best Buy can say to HTC , hey we need another 2000 Flyers and HTC is going to go "snap" sure we will spend another $500k setting the assembly line back up just for your tiny order".
Guess i got mine just in time I thought it was something to do with floods in Thailand
Or maybe they're just backordered. This has happened a couple times in the last few months and somehow they always seem to reappear. If you can get it shipped to the store in 3-5 days from BestBuy that means it's still available.

The production line hasn't manufactured Flyers in a while.
It's obvious HTC is not very enthusiastic about the tablet market. Afterall, the profit margin on smartphone is much higher than the cut-throat tablet markets.

You slow, you blow. I was all set to spend $299 at Best Buy but their people are incompetent. I got a new flyer for $174 from Tech For Less.
I did. Couldn't put up with "backorder for 30 days" email from best buy on my 11/30 preorder. Paid $759 plus $14 plus overnight shipping. Got UPS confirmation that it will be delivered before 3 tomorrow. No regrets, yet.

Ordered a 64Gb from B&H and they don't know ****, and after the rumors of delay to Q2 and that Amazon will ship Jan 25 - Feb and that the launch in Sweden is also late Jan/Feb. I decided to buy from Ebay. but the thing that really triggered was what B&H wrote on facebook
" B&H Photo Video Pro Audio*‎Jeffrey Galles*- I think we got champagne today. In all honesty I didn't know there were two colors until a little while ago."
They don't even know what they are selling and have available for preorder on there site, First and last time I will have anything with B&H to do.
The one from Ebay is over priced but what is there to do when I don't want to wait like 1 to 2 months and by that time the Prime is "old" and there will be other products to look at.

I don't know... if you have the money, then sure, you one-percenters can do whatever the hell you want.
But, in the grand scheme of things, you'll only be using this a week or so (I seriously doubt it'll take another month) early so was it worth it? I mean, you can basically do everything on a computer. Tablets are not needed -- they're awesome to use but they don't do much in terms of productivity (especially when compared to laptops/pcs).
Also, by buying off the guys on eBay, you are perpetuating the reselling process. Do you know a big reason you didn't get your pre-order? Because some **** bought 10 of these first and resold them on eBay. Guys like these really serve no economic value. (retailers provide distribution channels and outlets, what do resellers do?)

1%? I think there are quite a few people in the 99% that can afford to pay a couple extra hundred dollars more for a tablet.
ebay is too risky.
Easy to get scammed by someone trying to capitalized on the shortage supply and high demand.
It's not worth it, I can wait a little longer till local retails began getting supplies in after x-mas.

eBay is why pre-ordering sucks. Douchbags waste inventory which ruins it for the rest of us. Really pre-orders should come with a 6 month no-resale clause with head-crushing as punishment.

You can tell your "Occupy XDA" story walking pal. A week? I'm on backorder with BB for 30 days and nobody knows what the real story is. Hell, I had a Gamestop manager tell me he overheard a conference call he wasn't supposed to be privy to and that he heard that there were only 1000 tablets shipped to the U.S. and that Gamestop got 600 of those. If tablets are not needed then why are you trolling this forum and dropping your mighty wisdom? The reason I didn't get my preorder has nothing to do with someone buying in bulk, it's because BB and the other companies got duped by ASUS just like last year. People pay for goods based on the value they perceive that said goods provide to them personally. If an individual made $250 or so off me then good, eliminating the frustration and time I put into this debacle is worth it to me.
Ebay is showing three (or so) 64GB primes. If they are truly 64GB primes, that is encouraging that they have made at least one run. Don't know why they are not available yet for sale though.

Too risky. There is a good chance the ones on eBay are from the bad wifi batch. And I saw one seller with a description that said he got several from Bestbuy.com yet he also copy and pasted the list of free games from Gamestop, including the part that says "Purchase a New Android(TM) Tablet Customized by GameStop and get free digital games!" So I wouldn't believe anything he says
Hey just a quick question. Is there any way I could still get my hands on a refurb touch pad @ this point due to fire sales or am I fresh out of luck? Reason I ask is cuz I'm seeing these sell for 250+ and I know they went for cheaper before. Thanks for the help in advance.

Pretty sure what happened was HP was done with touchpad/webOS so they just wanted to get rid of their inventory, so they sold them for ~$100 each, which created a massive demand for them. So much so that they started producing more, and selling them at ~$250 not the original $400 price tag.
I bought mine for ~$200 from woot a few weeks ago, but am looking to sell it since I'm not using it as much as I thought. Might put it in the marketplace here in bit if you're interested.
I would check Craigslist frequently. I found mine for $175 brand new in sealed box (not refurbished).
Be very careful!
There are a lot of robberies happening around the country due to craigslist.
Someone advertises something that is hot (HP TouchPad, iPad, newest smartphone, etc.) for a deal - then when you show up at that address to check it out they mug you and take the money they know you brought with you. Only do the transactions in public places with security or bring some (armed) friends along.
They also do the reverse. They come to check out your item and then haul ass once they get their hands on it.
