Just got a 32gig for $150 at Walmart. They only had 2 in the store and they were both spoken for.

Did it ring up as $150 or they had to manually adjust?

I will be buying 3-6 at this price.

Even if webos dies, I have things I can do with them.

Now, walmart still had the 32Gb for $498

I tried to talk to a manager, but only one there was a stocking manager that was more clueless than a 4th grade schoolgirl.

$129 for the 16GB? That's kind of shady.

So for $20 more you get twice the storage.

Office Depot is live, just ordered the 32gb for $150 + tax

**gibsongeek** · 08/20/2011, 04:03 AM

I hear the 100$ Staples coupon is valid for the 16gb

**njforcedlife77** · 08/20/2011, 04:05 AM

walmart has them in store 99 and 149 check you local 24 hour stores people

**runukraine** · 08/20/2011, 04:05 AM

Just bought 32 gb for 161 w/ tax on Office Depot. Returning my old TP to Best Buy tomorrow. With my Elliott Benson research study check of $150 I guess that means I purchased a TP for $11.

Office Depot now has the correct price in the cart.

Interestingly, not only are both the 16 and 32 GB Touchpads out of stock at HP, but so are all the HP/Palm smartphones. Seems fishy to me.

**crucialcolin** · 08/20/2011, 04:08 AM

Just orded one from Office Depot since I planed on going with the 32GB anyways. Might check out Walmart in a sec to see what they have.

They must of manually price adjusted??? Which is against their policy to do. I just spoke with 4 different Wal Mart's and every single one said atleast 20-30 people have called since midnight about the Touchpad. Also the Touchpad is showing full price in store and online still. One guy told me to call back at 6am to see if anything had updated. So if anyone was thinking they could just trot down to Wal Mart or Best Buy in the morning and easily pick one up might wanna rethink their plans. PLENTY OF PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT THIS SALE!

Agreed

**FireFox31** · 08/20/2011, 04:15 AM

HP.com has them available for $99 and $149 right now after clicking through the TouchPad ad on their home page. Shows up in the cart as $99 or $149. But when you check out, the price jumps to $499 etc. And if you go back to the product page, it shows full price there too. Clearing browser cookies will restore the $99/$149 prices. The offer is routed through their Small Business Store.

Screenshot attached.

Also found $12 off charging dock at this link:

But in typical HP fashion, if you view the dock from many other ways, there is no $12 discount.

Just grabbed the 32GB for $150. WebOS lives on..amazing

**dbpaddler** · 08/20/2011, 04:20 AM

not fishy. the smart people were buying them up since 7pm. 16gb sold out first, the 32gb a few hours later. People were going through their education and epp site to score the deal early.

Also, HP is listing the charging stand and case at roughly $25 each. This is through their Home and Office store. Screenshot attached. Unfortunately, their full retail price shows in the shopping cart.

**jedtron** · 08/20/2011, 04:26 AM

It rang up for $150 at Walmart, the price updated at the store @2am

**ghostknyght** · 08/20/2011, 04:35 AM

Woke up a college friend at 1am EST and convinced him to use his .edu address to buy 2 32 gbs (16gb sold out), 1 for him 1 for me, from the HP store. Lucky for us he did it then , because a bit later while trying to get one for his ex the HP store listed them as sold out.
