The truth....now that I got the touchpad....

[A Mickeyfan]

rumor has it they will be selling them through the end of September. Good Luck !

Rumor has it who will be selling them through Sept? Not HP! HP is may not even have enough for all the orders placed by Monday Aug 22nd as they first stated... not sure where you heard that rumor at. Here is the email that I rec'd from HP just yesterday about the status of my order...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hello,

I placed my order online. How do I confirm that it was received?

For orders placed after 4am CT on Monday 22nd August, US SMB had already Sold Out of HP TouchPad and had posted this on our SMB webstore. Due to this overwhelming response to webOS, we are unable to fulfill these orders and they have been cancelled. If you saw a reserve hold for the amount of your order on your credit card, no actual charges have been made and this reserve hold will be released now that the order has been cancelled.

If you placed an order prior to 4am CT Monday, August 22, we are working through the large volume of orders, verifying payment details and seeking to source inventory for fulfillment. This process is taking longer than first anticipated. At this time, we cannot guarantee supply to all these orders but are working to supply as many orders as possible. If you saw a reserve hold for the amount of your order on your credit card and your order cannot be fulfilled, no actual charges have been made, and this reserve hold will be released if the order is cancelled.

You can check your order status here. If your order is not recognized, please check your order status again the next business day. When inventory has been allocated the status will change to “shipped.” Please note that planned ship and delivery dates on the order status page are not accurate for TouchPad orders. You can only be certain that we have identified a unit to fulfill your order once the order status shows a shipment tracking number.



Sincerely,

Your HP Small and Medium Business Team

So as you can see from this email, they have no intentions of "selling" them through September. I am praying that I get my order, I ordered mine on Saturday the 20th.. and from this email, I may not even be guaranteed it anymore... I have hope as there are "pending" charges back on my credit card.. but again, reading this email, they can be removed if they cannot fulfill my order...
I seriously doubt other stores are going to be able to get them in stock from HP since HP will be obligated to fill their orders first.. if someone has not gotten in on this deal yet, I doubt they will..only way would be E-Bay and then they aren't getting this deal.. they are going for more money on E-Bay...
