Thank you OP. At 61 pages long am surprised to see only 17 people have thanked you.

I wish I'd seen the thread earlier, noticed it on HUKD and managed to get one for home delivery from Argos. Trouble is I had chosen a date very very far away (31st Aug) for delivery to give them maximum time to update their prices before i receive it. Called them up now asking if i could bring it forward but no, have to wait another week. boo hoo. But when I do receive it they'll refund me money to pricematch the new lower amount, £115!

Thank you so much.

Thanks Simplicity

I first heard about the US situation on Saturday afternoon and thought it would be useful to bring it to the attention of all MoneySavingExpert users as quickly as possible.

I would like to extend my thanks to all who have posted here - it's been great - all your effort has really been appreciated!

Your tips, links, advice and comments have been invaluable.

Cheers!
Martin

To those who are looking to buy or otherwise acquire a reservation code or number, please be aware a Tesco code may be fairly useless to you if you're looking for a bargain!

Like many other, the pursuit of a touchpad led me here!!

I have one 16gb on order with amazon, placed at about 00:40 on Tuesday morning. I'm hoping that comes through.

In the mean time, does anyone have a reservation code either in Leicestershire, Warwickshire or up around alfreton they don't need or want to sell..... ??

Ben, I have one also and ordered almost at the same time as you... Just says Not Despatched Yet but I am confident it will be delivered... as we would likely have had an email cancelling the order... and Amazon should be able to juggle stock around.

Can I say a MAJOR thanks to the OP I have wanted a Tablet and in the line of work I do this will make me even more money, I picked my 32gb this morning and I have already made its value back, I love you so much if I could kiss you I would!!!! sham not many have thanked you but I will

Thanks Musheypeas

I needed a tablet for my web design work and an iPad2 seemed a bit expensive - I didn't expect this level of TouchPad frenzy (which I have been caught up in as well) - it's been great! And it isn't over yet...

Keep saving money!
Kissing you back

All those who have ordered from Amazon - check your account...

I ordered at 12.04am on Tuesday and my order has been cancelled without any notice.

Do we have anything to confirm that 'a certain retailer' (I have heard CPW/Argos - any more bets?) will be selling more at midnight? Or are we just all on hearsay?

I have been told by someone at Staples that they'll definitely be getting more stock in, but I think all of this has been allocated to the orders they already have.

That said, it's by no means definite anyway. I got told the wrong information yesterday on the phone about a delivery anyway.

Oh NO! I just checked and it is no longer there... no email, no nothing. Drat drat and double flippin drat.

Oh well, I almost snagged one. I'm going to be a little more savvy with the phone however... maybe buy a few and sell them so I can get a tablet.

Very disappointed... I was pinning my hopes on Amazon coming good.

So, in a final moment of desperation, if anybody has a code, or willing to flog me one that is going spare, please PM me... I am happy to travel to Beds London etc...

Thanks.
