    Should have stuck with HP, even though the traffic is 1000 slower than the snail, if you got through they honored the order both Saturday and Sunday.



    Thank you for your interest in the HP TouchPad







    Thank you for your interest in the HP TouchPad. We have received an unprecedented amount of orders as a result of the tremendous discount offered. Therefore, order confirmation emails are still being processed. Be assured that your order has been captured. You should receive an automated order confirmation in the next 24-72 hours.

    Additionally, some of our customers may have experienced a pricing error while purchasing on August 20th and 21st. We are in the process of ensuring every order is honored at the discounted price.

    If you have any questions, please contact an HP representative at 866.625.0242 and choose option 3. Please note that we are expecting significant call volumes with extended wait times over the next 48 hours, so we ask for your patience. We are committed to our relationship with you and to delivering the best technology solutions for you and your business.

    Sincerely,

    Your HP Business Promotions Team

    Ordered mine at almost exact same time. I don't have an "Unable to process order" though. Where is that at on the Order Status? Mine still says expected ship date Aug 24. Thanks for the update, here's hoping we all get one.

    Yeah, mine is on the order status page.

    Cancelled or not, in the end, I won't be losing out on much. It's a great deal if I get it, and I won't be too sore about keeping my money if it gets cancelled. (Yes this is me rationalizing to myself in order to feel positive about this fiasco of a fire sale.) :eek:

    They were more available in stores though, this has all been pretty much an online sale.

    I can't afford to purchase touchpads at 3-4 different places concurrently, just to hope that one of them finally goes through.

    Hopefully onSale doesn't crap all over me so I can stop chasing this white whale.

    I'd rather not hassle with that.

    I'm not in this to make a profit or become a dealer, lol.

    I imagine if Apple sold an iPad for $99, it would take down the entire phone system and Internet in North America.

    250+ bucks for a 16GB is an awesome deal?

    The new American Currency would be iPads.

    People trading iPads for groceries.

    Because for my intents and purposes, I don't feel like it's worth it.

    And while we're at it, I think Whataburger is better than In-N-Out.

    Any other completely subjective arguments we need to have? :p
