    Question to madmonkey37 and the rest of onsale people:

    When you go to check in your amazon account, does it say that it is shipping soon?
    Does is say this when you click on available actions?

    That was the original message. I got my confirmation at 4:51pm CST, so I'm not keeping my hopes up.

    Yeah, thats Amazon's standard notification when your account is charged just before your order is ready to be packaged.

    The annoying thing about the onsale limbo is that it's preventing me from actively looking for more in case it got cancelled. I *could* buy more touchpads but I'm content with what I ordered and don't want to bother wasting time selling one.

    That's not true. Mine said that and I just got the following email:

    We are writing to you regarding your recent Barnes & Noble order for "HP TouchPad Tablet with 16GB Memory".

    Due to unexpected customer demand for this item, our inventory was depleted prior to your order being processed so we are unable to fulfill this item as requested. Consequently, we have canceled your order and you will not be billed for this amount.

    You may see an authorization on your credit or debit card for the order, but please be assured you will not be charged. The authorization will be released in accordance with your bank's policies.

    If true, then thanks. I'm not worried, though. If I get it, I get it. If not, I won't be too sad.

    Not worth it to you does not equal not an awesome deal.

    Worth it to you deals with the amount of disposable income.

    IF only these chuckle heads would price these glorified browsers reasonably; 400-600 bucks is way too much to check email and play angry birds.

    Dang. Barnes and Noble cancelled my order - placed it at 1:10am last night

    Slickdeals says no places are selling it anymore - is this true?

    Yeah I don't know the profit margins or build costs but if they could bring something like the Vizio 8" tablet down to $150 retail it would sell like crazy.

    I think in a year or two we will be there.

    When I posted earlier today, they were in stock. They had been out of stock all weekend though.

    BTW, for fellow BB purchasers, I had my online order for the 32gb confirmed for shipment today. Still waiting on 16gb.
