I want the cheapest TouchPad for under $150 ... online/here in Australia.
Very disappointed :(

Anyone with suggestions/help?

Update - managed to order one from HP.com small business site. Website crashes at every step of the order process but refreshing and re entering details works. Took me an hour but it's done.

I would do it urgently before the majority of the US population wakes up and tries it again.

I couldn't care less about platform support if and only if I can install any Linux distro on this thing, and that's only possible if there are free (in the GPL sense of free) drivers for every piece of hardware.
Hence my original question.

Just checked it now, its gone/too late.
It directs you to a waiting list.

$99 is a really great deal, even the $149 for 32GB is great.
I would even pony up $149 for the 16GB, the hardware is worth it.
And stock OS is great (but dead ecosystem), and I'm optimistic about an Android/Ubuntu port.

Too bad. I would keep trying. I just managed to order 2 more 32GB one's. I love the OS and can imagine other OS's being ported now that the market will be flooded with these.

Thanks mate, I see what you mean about the page crashing haha


I got through to the checkout ok and ordered 1 before I saw your link, 32gbs were still in stock (I may have had the last one)

May I ask how much was your total in the shopping cart? inc taxes and shipping...

afaq 2011-08-21 11:35

Re: HP WebOS TouchPad for $99!
 
Glad someone else got through. Shipping was $0 but tax was $17.88.
So for 2 the total came to $315.88

Did you get a confirmation email about the order? because I didnt. I did a screenshot of the confirmation page in case.
