Am I the only one angry at the fact that the TouchPads price was not reflected in SA?

I wouldve bought one for R1k-R2k If possible

So mad :( :mad:

Touchpad is discontinued.... as well as most WebOS devices. Check Google.
 
I know this.

My point is

Even though its a discontinued device, I would still like to purchase it, at that price its a steal (cheaper than a Kindle)

It would be great for browsing while in bed or keeping my course notes on it.

push comes to shove you can just homebrew it to "keep up with the times". ill bet you a couple of large ones that WebOS fanboys will keep the homebrew sector kicking. (especially now that everyone has gone out to get a TouchPad, twitter trends etc confirm this)
 
Whether you would have liked to buy it or not is still irrelevant. It's discontinued ROFL :D
 
It's hardly irrelevant since there is stock internationally? Best Buys/Newegg/Amazon etc

I dont get your last reply? people are buying these things as we speak.

AFAIK all sales have been stopped? If not, then why discontinue the device?

read the news more. theyre going for $99(16GB WiFi) and $149(32GB WiFi) this weekend, IIRC Kindle is $149.

Best Buys and a couple of other big US retailers are selling them at this price
 
Stock is being cleared so it's still for sale while stocks last. Base model is just $99.
 
I'd buy 2 for that price - heck even 3 - I digg webOS... But it never even arrived in Saudi either...
 
I would also like to get my hands on one. Does anyone know if they'll be offering it at those prices locally? At $99, how much do you think we'll get them for this side? Will maybe pass by the HP store in Sandton and ask them(hopefully they'll be briefed). I saw the guys on xda are already talking/planning an Android port. If they get it right, this will be an awesome bargain.

Spoke to one of the guys from the HP Experience store in Sandton and he said they haven't had any word on the reduced price, still selling at R6k+. No word on when it's going to happen either but he reckons it will happen soon.

What sucks is that even when checking take2 on the more US section they are still going for around 6k. I really thought we'd see the price drop there.
 
hi,
Will you post it here if sandton HP drops the price, please...

Yeah will do...one of my buddies also works at the head office, told him to keep me in check.

I also did a check on Take2, my question is WTH is still going to buy them at that price. Maybe it's just a matter of formalities, waiting to get word if HP will reimburse the suppliers.
