Per HP, the sale doesn't go live until 7am EST tomorrow (8/20) but check the thread above. There is a way to get them at those prices now on the academic purchase site + extra discount codes.

Just scored 4 16gb units for $368 shipped. Keeping a couple for myself and giving out the others as gifts. This will be the deal of the century once someone figures out how to port Android to it.

I'm planning on giving Bestbuy a call tomorrow to see if they'll have these in store for the same price.

HP is sold out of them online and it seems everyone is sold out of them around here. I spoke to a sales guy at the Bestbuy in Plano and he said all the local stores are sold out of them. And that goes for Walmart, Target, Staples, Frys, Office Max, and Office Depo.

Let me know if you find anyone locally with them at the lower price.

Man, I'm amazed that Leo gave up on this product so damn quickly. It is almost like it was planned to fail from the beginning so they could steer the board of directors into spinning of the consumer electronics division.

Yep, I wouldn't buy for lack of support. HP is essentially walking away from the touchpad space.

Really odd considering the push that they did through the channel.

considering how poor it performed i'm not surprised, webos isn't exactly "magical."

i bought one cause i fully expect someone to have android and ubuntu ported over fairly quick.

HP's stock took a dump a few days ago. This is probably the result. LOL I am still seeing commercials for this thing.

other way around, bestbuy returning 200k of these, hp stating they were getting out of the tablet/phone business (possibly pc market as well?), than their stock took a dump.

Give it another week or two and I bet it will be.

If I had 100 bucks I'd buy one. The Best Buy in Grapevine on 114 had them for 100 bucks today.

Anyone score an extra one of these that would like to sell one for a small profit? My little sister needs something like this for school and it would be a great gift for her for Christmas this year.

Yea, lost nearly 6 bucks. I think it'll drop a bit more before I buy some more.
