Just noticed the message up on HP Small/Medium business. Figured I would post it here.

Been playing around with the TouchPad so much that when I pickup my iPad or Nook Color, I find myself sometimes trying to flick up apps to close them. Haha. I really like that feature. Apple should patent it and add it to iOS.

Closing apps in your taskbar in iOS is painfully annoying.

WebOS might be mediocre, but the hardware inside that thing is not.

For those of you still wanting an HP TouchPad, do not abandon hope yet. HP is reporting still making some more tablets and will continue to through October. Seems they still have components they've already paid for and so will go ahead and put the pieces together and sell them.

So keep an eye out.

HP also mentioned there will be another update coming that will add more functionality to the tablet, but they didn't give any specifics.

I really want one or 2 as I think it will become a great hobby/enthusiast device to tinker with for a few years.

That's a pretty good deal, still pretty expensive in Europe, but hopefully prices will drop soon

Three weeks later.....

Talk about slow on the draw.

HP Small and Medium Business Customer,

Thank you for your interest in webOS and the HP TouchPad – the response to our price reduction has been overwhelming – both in terms of volume and in the energy and enthusiasm it has generated in our customers.

It has taken us longer than anticipated to work through the high volume of orders that were received. We apologize for any uncertainty this caused, but we are now in a position to understand our ability to fulfill your order.

Your order will be fulfilled at the discounted price. However, we do not have enough stock to satisfy your order at this time. It will take 6-8 weeks to build enough HP TouchPads to meet our current commitments, during which time your order will then ship from this stock with free ground shipping. You will receive a shipping notification with tracking number once your order has shipped. We apologize that these timelines are longer than indicated on the website at time of purchase.

At the significantly reduced price, the HP TouchPad does not qualify for our standard 30 day return policy and is not returnable.

If this delay is not acceptable, please send an email to TouchPadCancel@hp.com with your instructions for cancellation within a week. Be sure to include your HP order number and the name and ship-to address on the order. Also please indicate clearly if this is the only order requiring cancellation or if you wish all orders in your name to be canceled. You will receive an automated cancel notification when your order cancellation request has been processed. Please be aware, however, that cancellations cannot be reversed, and our US SMB store has sold out of HP TouchPad and will not make any further available for sale.

We are pleased that we will be able to fulfill your order and look forward to you joining the exciting community of webOS!

Sincerely,
Your HP Small and Medium Business Team
