Well, I guess this is where I say good-bye.

I signed up to be notified when HP got more Touchpads in. Today I found out that they aren't getting any in at all. So I guess this means I won't be getting one. And since I am not getting one, I have no more purpose on this board.

I was very excited about the possibility of using Android on a TouchPad, but apparently that's not going to happen now.

I am pretty upset about what happened with HP, but I'd be even more upset if I didn't already own an iPad 2.

So long, all...

I got that email as well. Is a 32 gb for $245 out of your budget?

GAMESHARQ · Oct 29, 2011

It's not so much that it's out of my budget, but the main reason I wanted one is because they were so dirt cheap. I suppose $245 for the 32GB is still cheap, but not worthwhile IMO. If I didn't already own an iPad, I'd probably pay $245 for the 32GB though.

I just can't believe that after waiting all this time, they send out an email saying they are out of stock and won't be getting any more. If they weren't sure that they'd be getting more, then they shouldn't have posted the announcement on their web site saying that more would be available in the coming weeks and months. If I had known that wasn't true, I would have been searching elsewhere for one all this time.

Maybe the new CEO had something to do with the change in direction.

I hear you can still find bargains on fleeBay if you don't mind the wait (and bidding on items over and over).

a buddy of mine got a 32Gb off craigslist for $215 brand spanking new here in the bay area (ca).

BestBuy is bundling 32gb Touchpads for 149.99 with an approved laptop/desktop purchase. So, if you are in need of a crap laptop might wanna jump on this.

I just got a 32GB last night off Craigslist for $200 (unopened box) There are still a lot of TP's being sold, at least in MA there are. The problem is most sellers want $175-$220 for the 16GB :eek:

Apparently people keep paying that rate.

It's a great tablet and even at $220 it's still a lot cheaper than all other name brand 16GB Android tablets.

175?? Nothing under 200 here. Was about to go for a 180 one but the person seemed fishy,didn't want to meet in public.....

I've got a 2 week old, NIB, 32 gb TP and a used-for-one-week HP folio case. I need to figure out if I'm going to sell them on Craigslist or what. Paid $245 for the TP so not a bargain like some people got.

I just sold my 32 GB for $210. That was all I could get from it from several sources and that's basically LNIB condition. Ultimately, it was the lack of apps that killed it for me. There are so many things that HP hit way, way out of the park on the device though.

- account integration is the best of any device I've seen
- very easy to get root level access and HP supports this
- easy to fix if it's bricked. An update bricked my TP. The screen displayed an error message as well as a web site. You go to the website and it has a program you download to your computer and run. I've never seen another bricked device that made it this easy to fix.

Well, I guess this is where I say good-bye.
