It’s likely that Barnes and Noble will also soon drop the price on the 32GB TouchPad from $599 to ~$149 sometime soon!

@matzif4u:

Or 90 days with your AMEX.
@sam:
Enjoy!
@ari:
Sure, but it’s sold out.
got 1 thanks
Just picked up 3, thanks Dan!
Are there any coupons for barnes and noble?
@Sompo:
Not for the TouchPad.
true.. bought 50.. thx
thanks dan got one paid 116 inc tax for nyc
plus another 9$ tax ny?
meant 5.. thx
thanks so much dan. so early in the morning?!
Why are they so cheap? Are they dropping the price everywhere?
@Rivka:
HP is exiting the WebOS business and eventually their entire computer business.
This is the start of the fire sale…
They are discontinuing them.
@rivka why r u askin???? Just grab one and then ask
HP is quitting computers also??
in the status of my order it reads: “Unable to process order. Please call 1-877-379-0036, or 212-414-6024, if outside U.S.”
is anyone else reading this too?
@Joel:
They are indeed but not for a little while. Hard to make a profit in a commodity business.
Cool! I just got one from Barnes & Noble! Thanks!
just bought 5!
thanks
just got 1 thanks
B&N just cancelled my order. I ordered only 1 of them and placed my order at around 1am (EST)
Why is everyone on the web going crazy over this deal if they’re discontinuing it? is it to re sell it? or to have a good tablet for $100 for however long it lasts for?
I also see in the order status “unable to process”. anybody got a confirmed processed order?
In for 3. Thanks!
Dan
where can i get one for 99 dollars? they are sold out everywhere!
@dov:
You bought more then 1? or payment was not captured
i have the same thing on my 2nd order
I just got 1
Thanx Dan, I just ordered one to Clev but I had to pay sales tax, how did you get it without tax?
How come they have so much in stock??
It doesn’t state anywhere on BN.com that they won’t be allowing returns, does it?
It’s a little strange that it isn’t sold out yet, no?
DEAD!!!
dead!!
BN now says it’s out of stock… and so is the 32gb (even though the price wasn’t reduced on the 32)
Not so fast – when I log in to order history, it says unable to process order. Does not look promising.
got 1
Thanks
DEAD!
Dead!
Does anybody know what time the 32gb went down?
cant get it from them anymore. any other ideas?
deal is dead
why are you buying this junk
don’t you read
do you know what will happen if these break
out of stock on BN
they wont be shipping out any tablets is what i was told
anyone know of any sites online that still have them available?
@J:
-It’s a good tablet with great web browsing.
-It’s covered by AMEX for 2 years.
-We’re hoping they get Android on it!
-Some people hope to flip for a profit.
-It costs HP over $300 to make it…so it seems like a good deal!
Etc…
@dave:
Purchase for $400/$500 on a card with price protection and file a claim?
@nachpen:
Why is it junk? Reviews are good.
HP still will honor the 1 year warranty and AMEX doubles that to 2 years.
Best Buy stores still have them. Just not online.
@Dan:
Dan,
Where can i still get one?! every store i call is out of it.. you know anywhere online i can get one?
Dan,
I’m also willing to buy it directly in a store, do you know any stores that have it?
@Kim:
which one? because i called quite a few and they all said they are sold out
I bought the 16gb version from B&N earler today. Are there any good games for it (ex. angry birds).
I just bought the Viewsonic Tablet last week (cost about $250). Like it but the screen doesnt view well from the side (new about this going in). Should I return it as I will have the touchpad?
I just spoke to B&N after waiting on hold for an hour… they siad that the orders that were placed are guaranteed, but they are experiencing such high volume that they are double validating credit cards. and all orders placed should be fulfilled within 72 hours.
Thank you Daniel!
I just spoke to Onesale Seller (Amazon) after waiting on hold for an hour… They said that ALL the orders from yesterday (sunday) are CANCELED!!! Toooo bad……..
I meant “onsale”
Dan, if my order status says unable etc, should I call up or wait it out? Thanks
I check my order it says. Unable to process order. Please call 1-877-379-0036, or 212-414-6024, if outside U.S. So I called they said “do to call volume they can’t take my call now please call back later, good bye. So who knows I hope I get my order!
Can you send out a facebook deal alert the next time it the HP TouchPad becomes available anywhere?
Thanks!
Mine says unable to process too. Let me know if anyone gets an explaination from B&N
ordered 3 from Barnes and Noble last night and and I checked my order status just now and it say there was a problem and to call their 800 which hangs up on you due to high call volume….lame.
@Ben: I hope so!!!
now available here
http://www.pcconnectionexpress.com/IPA/Shop/Product/Search.htm?term=hp+touchpad&DefSort=Y&findin=allproducts&SearchType=1
Same here, They are overwhelmed with the sales that came in.
okay Monsey but NO…………..
So what’s the story? I ordered three of these from amazon and two from barnes and noble. Will I receive them!??
Looks like zones.com has it now!
I ordered it at 8:04 this morning and it seems that it’s still going through because it has been over 10 hours and the expected ship date is still posted. It seems almost random whose gets processed and whose does not.
jut got a email form bn.com

@Ira
How do I find it on Zones.com??
@dov:
yes, they cancelled my order after i placed it saying they couldnt process it because there was too high of a demand before I ordered mine. Its absolutely ridiculous because they sent that message the next day when i know the sale was up for hours after i had ordered.
ordered ten, just got email that it got cancelled.
Lets wait till our DAN comes on and teaches us how to fight b&n

I also got the notice that my order wasn’t going to be fulfilled from B&N a little while ago, I could have ordered more from HP had I known that these orders would fall through. Thanks to B&N I’ll have to shell out more money for a reg priced one.
They should compensate us the difference for what a new one would cost because we probably all could have got one some where else if we knew B&N was just toying with us.

I ordered at about 1am and still got above email
Just got a cancellation email. Ordered at 3am. They even sent me an email that my cc didn’t go through. I updated it and everything seemed fine. Why couldn’t they just tell me then?
There’s a report that HP has a warehouse full of them and will soon be having a second firesale.
Oish! I got cancelled?!?!!

I don’t think it’s random….. I think if you ordered more than one you got cancelled.
No I ordered one only , and got the email just now. 🙁
@sharon: @
nah, i ordered one thsi am and it just gt canceled…
I just an email that B&N cancelled my order. O well. Good try!
Dan is there a way we can fight B&N against their canceled order emails ?
Of those of you who were cancelled, were any of you B & N paid members?
@Isaac: im thinking the same thing.. dan anything we can do?
I’m soo pissed off. This is irresponsibility on their part and now were all suffering. As the poster above said, had we known about these cancellations we wouldve bought it somewhere else. How could they allow this to happen?! Wouldn’t you think their systems would be sophistocated enough to catch this?! Booo
Maybe if we put together a group email stating what happened to all of us along with a screenshot of our order confirmations we received from B&N, we would have a good shot at getting some response and justice done. Â I have called 4 times today and keep getting disconnected due to high call volume. Â I think they messed up big time and are waiting for people to cool off before they talk to anyone. Â Anyone else think this a good idea and know someone familiar with doing something like this? Doesn’t have to be an email maybe a letter, just something representing all of us and stating we want the problem fixed.
I also got cancelled
I am interested in drafting up a legal letter.
I’m an attorney too, what sort of legal action can you pose on Barnes and Noble. It’s a simple failure of their servers at this point. Unless you can show they acted in bad faith good luck, and judge would laugh as they than you for your filing contribution before they dismiss it.
Yeah, it sucks, but there is nothing you or I can do.
did people who only ordered 1 also get cancelled?? i ordered 2 and got cancelled
i got the same but my order status hasnt changed… am i just fooling myself?
I just called and they cancelled my order :-(::
Oh well… lets wait till next time!
I ordered 2 of them at 9:30 am yesterday …just checked status & it says in processing , but Not yet shipped …looks like i will be getting them if they werent canceled by now
I didn’t get the cancellation email. I wonder if that means that my order is still on?
Lawyer@Summons: If you include my order in your legal letter (Order # 247191503), it will be a huge Mitzvah, very much appreciated!
Lawyer@summons: I’m in, what do you need and where do I send it? We obviously aren’t gong to take this to court (will probably cost alot and would be too much for someone to take on without compensation and maybe the attorney who posted before is right ), a nice long detailed letter stating we were wronged and are willing to do something about it, Â may be enough to get something done though. If you look at B&N’s website they claim that they are rated #1 in customer service. It’s probably pretty hard to get to that position and they wouldn’t want us making a big stink. Â
  I had a friend who had a couch that was falling apart after they recently purchased it and was being ignored by sales staff and a manager at a nationwide furniture chain. His wife found a legal document template online and filled it out with their info (the letter threatened to sue for the amount of the couch if they didn’t respond within 2 wks) sent it via certified mail and within 2 wks they got a letter offering a credit for their couch after they returned it.Â
This is worth a shot. Thanks Lawyer@summons.Â
you all sound a little ridiculous.. ya it’s annoying that they got cancelled but that’s life. this is not situation where someone stole money from any of you.. a good deal came about with the whole country going crazy to get in on it and some got and some didn’t. To make a whole fuss and stink over it, to me is just ridiculous
Thanks for that Eli. I have an email address for their management team. The customer service rep was really polite and understanding but said there is nothing they can or will do and to send an email to bnmanagementclassic@book.com which is their management team. I’m going to send them an email and see if I get anywhere.
these comments have become simply pathetic. legal action? really? thank goodness for the people like Eli.
Yossi, it sure is entertaining though…
just got an email from barnes and nobles saying that they’re seeing if they have enough to fulfill my order
just had my order cancelled 🙁
Had my Amazon (Onsale) order and BN order cancelled. Struck out twice!
If anyone on the post has a touchpad to sell, or one they don’t use anymore, I’m interseted in buying one, pls contact me asap zeekay18@gmail.com
