Guys this may interest you HP's discontinued touchpads available on bestbuy.com there is a limit of 1 you must be quick before they are sold out, I am sure lot of people may have tried on various USA website but it was very much a hit and miss, this one looks pretty good at the moment just ordered one via hopshopgo.com
so hurry if you want a tablet with decent configuration for very cheap.

    The mods won't let you post this here since it's not "available" to Australian customers.

    Well, they deleted my post when I did a similar deal.

    • Crownanchor on 21/08/2011 - 21:42

      Seems inconsistent, one deal was posted and allowed that had one line of information/mention of a freight forwarding company.

      • camelgrass on 21/08/2011 - 21:49

        They use their discretion so I guess decisions will not always be consistent.

        This is a great deal in any case.

          This relies on people reporting deals. There were no reports of this deal. As this is sold out, it's a moot point. We are not on power trips here. Generally, if I click the link and I can't order the item and have it delivered to Australia, then it's not available to Australia. If someone posts a link to a freight forwarder with a direct link, e.g. https://www.priceusa.com.au/order/index.php?mod=order&item=2…, where you can just put your details in to buy, then I'd think that's fine. It's an interesting issue and I suggest you start a thread on the forums.

  • hweita on 21/08/2011 - 21:42

    Perhaps you can add a link to Shipto/Comgateway so people can actually use those sites to ship to Australia to make this a deal that can "possibly" work for Aussies

    • Funkdafied on 21/08/2011 - 22:01

      It looks very likely that Android will get ported to the Touchpad. For $99 I think it's a great buy regardless.

    • spodosaurus on 21/08/2011 - 22:04

      Was this due to another frivolous Apple lawsuit?

      • Ambiguous on 21/08/2011 - 22:11

        No HP discontinued it. I.e. there will be no apps developed for it etc.

        • joannatan on 21/08/2011 - 22:51

          one thing that i don't understand, this is not android tablet, and no apps available for this tablet, why people still buying this pad?
          is it because some people will install android on it?

        • SydStrand on 22/08/2011 - 00:56

          @joannatan

          Because it's a tablet that you can browse the internet on, check your email etc.

          Sure, there will be nothing else coming out for it. Ever. So what you get out of the box is what you get. But at this price, you can use it as a digital photo frame or over-sized PMP and can't go wrong.

      • Deebs on 21/08/2011 - 22:14

        No, sales were bad so they discontinued it after 4 days in Australia, they have been having poor sales in America as well.

        • Smigit on 22/08/2011 - 11:36

          I think there was more to it than poor sales. They didn't give it enough time to pull their support essentially for an entire OS.

          Think it was a strategy change. Months ago they were saying they wanted web OS on not only tablets in phones but everything ranging from desktops to laptops to printers. Clearly that visions gone by the wayside and thus their need for web OS has greatly diminished.

  • Funkdafied on 21/08/2011 - 21:56

    I got one earlier but looks like BestBuy might be sold out already.

  • Steptoe on 21/08/2011 - 21:59

    For ~$135 shipped to oz it's a pretty good deal, regardless of the recent HP news there is still hope with the guys over at XDA-Developers working on getting this bad boy to work with Android.

      How could they possibly? The sales were a total flop, and total number made/sold when this is over, will be less than 500 000, it costs a lot of money to make such a small number of tablets in a competitive market.

    • SydStrand on 22/08/2011 - 00:58

      It was $300 in parts. Even with some very conservative estimates due to bulk orders etc, they're obviously bleeding out their ass with this price.

      It's a liquidation.

    "Shipping: Not available", yet I have the 16GB model in my cart, entered in the US billing address as per BestBuy's site…

    • Ace on 21/08/2011 - 22:42

      You can still add it to your cart because they have store pickup available where you pay online and pick up the item next time you visit the store.

      Both models are now completely 'sold out online'.

    I used hopshopgo and successfully purchased 2 under the "buy for me" option about 30 mins ago but given they are now sold out makes me wonder whether they would have purchased it in time, would be expecting my order to be cancelled now.

    • looks on 21/08/2011 - 22:49

      Yeah I was thinking the only way to get this shipped would be the ShipForMe option…

      Oh well - do report back if it worked for you :)

    • n1 on 21/08/2011 - 23:35

      I did the same thing, because I couldn't do the ShipToMe option because my paypal was Australian.
