    Finally got my first one yesterday evening. Amazon shipped much faster than Best Buy who charged me more for shipping, but is taking more than a week.

    I don't know what to think of it. I'm barely able to operate an i-phone. As a technological idiot maybe I should have gone with the I pad,, though my frugal wife would still be sqawking.

    Anybody want to make some money training an old guy? Just kidding, but I may get back to you guys later.

    Now I need some accessories. I tried two Bestbuys and a Staples last night. Nothing.

    How do you know you'll get it by Sep 8th? What type of shipping did you select? Was the shipping info in your confirmation?

    All I have is:

    Carrier: VF3-ECON VALUE FRT

    Economy freight... at least I hope I get a tracking number... snail mail would be terrible

    Just got the charging station and the HP official case from local W Mart. Will have to return with Best Buy Ad to get them to match. They were the last two. No touchpads, of course.

    Consumerism can be fun.

    I can type out instructions for you or something. Lol.
    Then again, my TouchPad is arriving tomorrow so I haven't really played with it yet.

    I got mine at Copperfield on Wednesday morning, there was only five left and I got the fourth.

    Hopefully the ebay prices will go down, I'm still looking for one more for my dad, hopefully one of the orders online come through.

    Ugh... I've gotten so many orders cancelled on me its ridiculous. Anybody have an extra one they are willing to let go for less than $200?

    Please?

    any questions you have, ask away in the Touchpad owner's thread. I'm sure we can help you figure it out. Also hit the link to precentral's touchpad forums, the stickies especially have lots of great tips and tricks for using it. I'm on old guy too glynch, if I can learn to use it effectively, you can also.

    Apparently Aaron's are price matching. Unfortunately the places I called in SW Houston are OOS. *sigh*

    not so fast

    as has been posted already, HP still has some in warehouses that hasn't been sent out yet. Best bet is to keep checking HP's store if you really want one.

    I've been refreshing for two days now but I'm not expecting anything. They'll probably release them at 2am while I'm in deep sleep.
