I bought two, but when I went to the walmart they said they were out of stock, and refunded me

(think 7" cap. panels?)

Thanks for the offer, let me get mine first, I could trade you now my Nook Color for those cap. panels, if they had a nice enclosure. I need them enclosed!

Okay, if you followed the link on the OP you might know this already, but if not, here's HP website that will notify you via email on when more Touchpads (coming from Bestbuy, Fry's) will be available.

Hope this help someone to get one!

Calls on xda for an Android port. It seems it uses the same dual core hardware as the upcoming Samsung Galaxy SII, so who knows? I'd rather see a Windows 8 port, but...

FWIW, YMMV.

Gee, I wonder why - I guess the price point for those things from now on is going to be much lower...

I got that message too, but eventually I got it (IE9). HP is the way to get it, but I think come midnight I'm going to check BB just in case.

HP's gotta be realizing that the sub-$200 price point is the new way to overtake apple...

For anyone wanting a Touchpad at the $99 sale price. Best Buy just announced they won't be returning stock to HP, and agreed to sell all remaining TouchPads at firesale price. Check out your local Best Buy, I'm sure they got enough to go round. And anyone thinking there just buying a paper weight, HP as a WebOS tablet/cell device manufacture might be dead, but they said they will continue development on WebOS and the HP App Market. And the homebrew community is awesome.
