Well Ive got one! I need to get android on it quick as webos sucks bricks http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1230576 there are people out there with overclocked touchpads

There are so many bitter people on this thread taking out their frustration on the retailers. These were exceptional circumstances and to improve systems to deal with these exceptional circumstances would cost a lot of money. These costs would inevitably be passed onto the consumer, so just because you missed out on a cheap TouchPad (as did I) we should all needlessly pay the price.

If you were so desperate to get a TouchPad then maybe you would have paid full price or bought one off Ebay. I know I wasn't that bothered hence I'm quite happy with my PC and Android phone.

Suck it up and realise the world doesn't revolve around your whim to buy a luxury item you'd probably rarely use.

Are you sure about that - the last I heard was that HP were making up more Touchpads in order to placate their suppliers in China BUT that they would only be sold in the US. I also note that some companies that used to sell it have now announced that they won't be stocking it anymore

100%. CONFIRMED directly from HP

This just shows that they will produce some more for the US only. They haven't yet changed this.

HP Palm say overclocking will invalidate the warranty.

Mine's overclocked (Preware, Govnah and UberKernel, check PreCentral for instructions, 1.5Ghz instead of 1.2) and Android won't be installed on it. Android can't multitask properly in my opinion (I've got an HTC Sensation) as it decides what apps to close instead of me. webOS is WAY ahead of other OSs for multitasking IMO.

Thanks Dafty Duck. They're also on Currys and PC World.
£200 for 16GB and £250 for 32GB, both coming with wireless charger dock (was £75) and case (was £40) so these packages seem worthwhile...

HP have 6000 Touchpads which they're offering to UK staff on a first come -first served basis next week. Max of one per employee - £69 for 16gb and £109 for 32gb.
