Just came up on HP Home website, need US shipping address etc I suspect.
Not a huge bargain like the firesales but they're back none the less.

not to mention the currency is below parity now…. its crap time to buy tbh.
And they raised the price to $250 to prevent scalpers.
Rightfully so.
I'm all for making a dollar but f**k the brodens etc that rocked up to HN to buy 5+ at a time just to put them on eBay.
isn't the touchpad craze over ?
Meh. USD250 with delivery to Oz and I'd be tempted. Maybe. at USD300+ with delivery to Oz (you'd need a re-shipper and the cheapest delivery they had was USD15 so it's a decent guess I reckon) I'd rather buy a not-dead tablet.
I was a lucky one to get in on the firesale, but I will say there is nothing dead about the Touchpad. People don't realise that all a tab does is give convenient access to basic laptop functions. It browses, does office basic, movies/tv, stream, email, facebook etc. Android isn't far away either on dual boot either. I agree maybe for $300 not a bargain, but compare it to like for like in the market, it still is IMO
Well that's why I didn't neg. :) But whilst it's not dead dead it is dead (perhaps undead?). Yes you can go all reanimator on it but I'd still rather a fully supported tablet for that price. At AUD150 I'd've bought it without hesitation (if I could've made it to a HN).
Not a bargain with proper tablets selling at only $100 more (before shipping) here.
"only" $100 more…
Remember where you're posting? $100 is a LOT of Logitech earphones.It's probably closer to $50 extra after you factor in shipping…
plus the time involved in arranging a mail forwarder,
plus a power adapter cause this will come with a US plug.For a tablet that's dead in the water, you're better off buying a $300 one from eBay with Australian warranty and power adapter, or buying a Iconia/Transformer from a retailer for $350.
funny..now its out of stock!!!
That's not the funny bit. The funny bit is "Please check back soon". :)
Not a bargain, $100 is a bargain.

google touch droid
Not a bargain, just get kindle fire.
You needed a credit card or PayPal account with a US billing address to take advantage of this. In any case, although I was very happy to pay $150 for the 32GB model back during the firesale, I definitely wouldn't pay $300 shipped for one when there are plenty of fully-supported tablets for around that price.
People on TouchPad forums and RootzWiki are reporting that orders do not go through. Don't keep your hopes too high!
