to be honest i never would have paid £400 for an ipad or more, cos they were out of my price reach but now they are £89 i am quite excited to get it - think u can even get a kindle app so i can read on it - cheaper than a kindle lol

Well done ;-), If thats against your company policy id probably delete that post, you might get fired like the guy who called argos a 'shambles' on Facebook http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2028087/Argos-fires-father-uses-Facebook-company-shambles.html.

Do you know if they will get more on the 11th?

they allow to use it for ourselves was quite lucky really because they were all gone when we first checked but 1 of each become available when we looked and as for stock I was told the other day that we do have stock but are debating what to do with it if I find anything out Il post it on here:)

totally agree with you hopefully we will all be lucky. although some of the rudness shown by people determined to get one no matter what, reminds me of those sales years ago when people used to trample over each other to get what they want at the sales !!:rotfl:

Found a very good alternative to the HP Touchpad, if you are one of those people that must absolutely have a tablet, while undercutting the competition by quite some way...

Its the Packard Bell Liberty tablet, which is very well specced, boasting a 10inch screen, dual core processor, 16GB of storage, HDMI Output, front and rear facing cameras, etc... But most importantly in my opinon it is running Android Honeycomb 3.0, which is specifically designed for tablets and NOT running a phone operating system, like the majority of other cheaper tablets are running! Including the HTC Flyer and Samsung Galaxy Tab 7 inch.

The price is £299, which I know is still quite substantially more than the HP Touchpad was selling for, but undercuts other Android Honeycomb 3.0 tablets and a well known fruit named tablet by atleast £100!

Reading the professional reviews of this product seems very positive and Packard Bell is part of Acer, and seems to be based around one of their own tablets. Packard Bell products are usually priced at the lower end of the market (but int his case very well specced), so prices will probably drop further.

I just want to point out, Im not on any commission or try to advertise and the view above is purely mine! I just wanted to point out a good alternative in my view, being a bit of a geek.

lol Let's face it, 99% of the people on here wanted one because it was cheap, with very little idea of what it can do. Noone will go for an alternative. I would bet the majority of people who actually got one will use it to watch youtube videos and post on facebook - oh, and try to look cool in public!

They are not refurbs, they are ex demo!

I would rather buy one of the cheap epad fakes on ebay than give boffer my money for a beaten up, ex demo (so heavily used) 1st gen ipad.

The one in the picture has a great big dent in the back of it, can you imagine what sort of condition they are in, going by the promo pics?
