$99 HP Touchpad

Bought 10 of them yesterday flipped all abut 2 for 200 a piece. Made a 800 dollar profit minus the 200.00 for the 2 I'm keeping, so I ended up with 600.00 Net and 2 Touchpads.

TeamAndroid already assembled their team last night and are starting the port process to put the Android OS on them.

Can't beat a 99 dollar Android Tablet

also cheaper than a rooted nook

it may be worth it just to get one for browsing the web/reader apps like ya said

They are pretty much sold out everywhere now. Online and In-store. Everybody was going crazy for them last night, including myself

Strange. It's not even sold out as of right now. Amazon and Newegg are still selling them at the original price. Only HP is selling it at a discounted price.

If someone can post a link, then that would be great. I'm just curious to see if they are actually sold out or not.

HP is sold out since late yesterday.

Amazon sold out since 3 AM. They are only selling ones ppl are selling for a high price.

Everywhere was pretty much sold out late last night.

OfficeDepot
OfficeMax
Staples
Costco
Target
WalMart
PCrichards.com
Fry's

The moment the price change reflected on people's sites last night they were gone within a few minutes

Thanks for the update. Man, I felt bad for the retails that were affected. They shouldn't have assumed the big names will produce positive outcomes.

The OP posted a thread link that will show you which stores are sold out and which aren't. Many spots, like Amazon, simply haven't lowered the price yet-- those will be the next places to watch.

dont forget bestbuy is trucking alot of them back to hp they may not have gotten there yet

I got one of 32gb from walmart this morning for $150. Cant beat the price

Hey Te family, best buy just got the ok to sell the hp touchpads for 99. I just bought mine at 630 mtn time. Go get em!

I called earlier in the day and they weren't allow to sell them. And then hp gave them the okay. One per person. My fam bought 3

My best buy said at about 3:30 they were sold out, that they would have more at 10a tomorrow. I'm hoping to be in line.

I got sucked it this frenzy today. I'll find out tomorrow after a trip to Best Buy to see how I did.....

I got mine because you can toss a kindle and nook reader app on there, which makes it cheaper than the original platforms, but with color.

Where do you get the Kindle and Nook apps?

Hurry up and grab this one before it's too late: Amazon.com: HP TouchPad Wi-Fi 16 GB 9.7-Inch Tablet Computer: Computers & Accessories

NinjaBoy

Again, looks like this (the price) is for the US market only

In the UK, the price is still around the £349 (approx $576) mark.

Current price $999, what a bargin

cyberguypr

It was even funnier at $9,999 yesterday.

Well, the computer section geek at Best Buy lied to me. They were still out, today.

I was tempted to make an issue out of it, but didn't really have time. Thankfully, I don't make lots of computer-related purchases there-- and it will likely stay that way for some time to come.

all places around here are out so i guess ill just have to save up for a grid 10 or transformer

zaxbysauce

I'd wait and grab the Transformer 2 since it is supposed to be the first tablet running Nvidia's quad core Kal El platform. Rumors suggest an October launch.

HP.com will be selling all the ones Bestbuy sent back which is around 250k Tablets.

Be on the look out for when they go up, HP said they will be announcing on Twitter when they become available.

How's the browser on this thing? I have an iPad 2 (received as a gift, otherwise I'd still be waiting for a Honeycomb tablet in my price point) and I use the browser 90% of the time (Youtube 9%, random apps 1%). For $99 I'd buy one just for the browser, as long as it's decent.

i got my second one this morning at best buy. they had 12 of the 32 gb for 150

just for kindle/web browser alone its worth it

cyberguypr

Anybody following the Slickdeals thread on this? It's amazing how people are desperate trying to grab one. I was able to place an order for two 16 gigers on HP SMB site. We'll see if they start cancelling Monday morning.
