Ok, Guys, Update from 20north
Thank you for your interest in the HP TouchPad 16GB. The demand for the product was overwhelming.
We processed orders on a first-come-first-serve basis and unfortunately before we could get to your order we ran out of stock and so did all other major US suppliers.

So, we will have to cancel your order, we will issue the refund by the end of business today. After bank clearance your refund will reflect in your bank account within 5-7 business days.

Regards,
Customer Relationship Managment

^^Whatever it is, who cares, we are not going to get this hardware in $100 ever without this deal if it all we are able to get this time, and who cares about webOS, I'm mainly interested because touchdroid is in development...
@aasimenator, its not only we, even some americans are not able to get it, I asked someone on XDA to purchase for me then he said even he is searching and not able to get his hands on this
 
hey quick question guys...

once we place bids on ebay.com do we have to purchase it ?

I am thinking of teaching these guys some lesson. we should all bid on their orders as high as $500 & if we win it just decline the deal?

they would have to repost the deal & wait again for 4 days / whatever is the minimum time.

Once you win the bid you are bound legally by the contract and even otherwise you will get negative feedback on your profile for backing off from the deal, if you open a new account specially for the deal then they will not entertain because you will have zero feedback which most of the sellers doesn't allow....

Just my 2c, experts' opinion may vary
 
I was think of buying accessories like keyboard , touchstone charger , sleeve and gadgetshield

and to my surprise they all will cost me more than my touchpad

Interesting isnt it ?

Why did HP not price it

200 for 16GB

250 for 32 GB

then also same frenzy would have resulted and HPs losses would had been recovered or reduced

Tax rebates would be applicable then also

WHY ???

food for thought

you can easily do it

decline it 2/3 times

and ebay will ban you

In normal circumstances you can decline but same product ....

little hard to pull

But should be easy for us when we have multiple account

each account 2 warnings

so if you have 10 accounts

20 sellers are screwed

Bid so high that nobody can overbid

remove paypal details if linked

they cant do anything except removing your account

We have dynamic ip unlike US where maximum are static

so you are fit to Go

they are ebay US

they cant do anything on you in India

All wrong advices but seems good in this case

I don't think it would have sold so much if it was priced at $200!

No other brand is equal to Hp in that price range

Which are available viewsonic and other cheap ones

You must have seen today Newegg tablet email

You can check from that tablet email

Ipad is approx double in price

so it is a good deal ...
 
Now we should take our position on HP website ;)

So how you guys putting your address and phone no on HP ? Can I give my google voice no instead of SnS no? Any benefit of that ? Although GV number will ring and then it will go voicemail. Any suggestions ?

Nope. $99 price ensures that even folks who don't want tablets (including those who din't even know what tablets were) are now fighting to buy one. $200 would have still ensured good sales, no doubt. However, it wouldn't have been this crazy.
