My zones order STILL says "In Process"
Anybody getting any notifications?
Also it looks like we missed the HP sale on their website, if there was one..

Congratulations!!!! My hubby in on the road today. I just called and told him to stop by the Best Buys. He's in sparsely populated rural Michigan, so it's possible ....Went to three different best buys, and was determined to not come home empty handed. After 4 hours, a shipment came in and I was third in line. Got a 32GB - only allowing one TP per customer. Like it so far
Dannno, very good chance your order WILL be processed - my mom called up zones for her order (stated ”in process” - while mine was cancelled and she ordered after me) and they told her if it's not cancelled by now, there's a good chance she'll get it. I would call up their customer service![]()
I really want one of these all of the sudden. I hope I can get one tomorrow or Saturday. The nice lady at BestBuy told me they're going to get some Saturday morning, so I'm going to try then.
Don't trust that website. Said my local BB had them in stock, raced over there while on the phone waiting for an answer the whole way. They had sold out 2 hours prior to a line of 80+ people waiting on the shipment.

-08/24/11 Spoke with CSR Kevin during my first call. Apparantly, they received 4500 orders for 1000 units. They have not shipped any out. They are currently going through the order and canceling all orders with multiple units ordered. That in addition to people who have been canceling they feel they will be able to finally release the 1000 units to ship by tomorrow. He said call back this afternoon as more information will be available and they may be receiving more stock from HP depending on their final order amount.
Hmm... did b&n send you an email about the $20 gift card? All i got was a free survey in which BN did not score very well!![]()
I got in line at Best Buy at 7:20 or so. Already a ton there. They handed out the vouchers at 9am. I was about 10 away.:\ Oh well, I'm sincerely hoping HP puts them up on Monday, they should from what I hear.Try to be there an hour before opening (if you go on Saturday), unless you get a head's up what time they will come in.Good luck!
Impressions of the HP Touchpad:
I honestly really like it - sure, it's no iPad, but I never expected it to be. WebOS is pretty nice, and the tablet runs fast after you do some quick changes of the system settings. I have not overclocked it yet (the equivalent of jailbreaking an Apple product), but plan to tomorrow.
I don't quite understand all the commotion about the applications - honestly, everything (I feel) you could need there's an app for - around 4,000 total. They run fast. And HP is running a nice little promotion for 5 free apps right now (including an app that lets you use the built-in camera to take pictures [yeah, HP WebOS had it so that the cam can only be activated during videochats], and an Audabon app worth $14.99 that has an awesome collection of bird pictures and bird sounds).
Really can't complain![]()
