Best Buy pulls HP TouchPad from U.S. stores; HP to refund early buyers
Share:
There is good news, though, for those who paid the higher prices for the tablet when it was originally launched. HP is refunding the difference between the higher prices and the new discounted prices it set forth yesterday, as we reported. You will need to call HP or the store where you purchased the TouchPad. The new prices as set forth by HP are $99.99 for the 16GB tablet and $149.99 for the 32GB variant.

I would totally buy one for $100. I mean come on! That's less than a zune hd and that thing is a few years old and has no future either. I mean sure it's not the best tablet by far but still... for $100. Amazing deal.

people r going crazy! im beggining to wonder if it was hps plan all along, i mean, the touchpads made of kind of cheap materials, cheap camera, cheap-fingerprint-supermagnet screen. maybe HP just wanted everyone to buy one so then people start developing apps since everyone will have one by the end of the weekend.

I'm really ticked off that all these people who made fun of OS all of a sudden can't grab them fast enough on clearance, I've been a Palm fan since 1998 and camped out for the first Pre and can't find one anywhere, despite trying since morning. I'd really appreciate the OS!

Yeah it was really hard finding one. I was up at 8 this morning still nothing. I finally found some places. Jr.com, microcenter.com, amazon.com(but they only had 16 left and that was 2 hours ago) and Office Max. Good hunting, I hope you find one.
P.s. best buy appreantly sent back there entire stock of Touchpads maybe HP.com will have some more I stock?

Saw the news on phonearena last night and surfed for them after midnight to find one but none of the prices changed. This morning went to wally world and got 2 32gig versions. Then after spending the rest of the morning being told no more were in stock, HHG had some so I got 2 16gig ones there. Sweetness! My whole family has one now. My brother and I have been WebOS fans so this was a real treat for us. The rest just like having a tablet for the rock bottom price. Just a major bonus its such a sweet pad.

I am a Best Buy employee and can confirm that they ARE being sold as of this afternoon. Management was told to take them off the shelves but are now available again. The exact reason, I'm not sure, but right before leaving my shift today it was bats**t crazy in the tablet section because everyone was trying to get their hands on one.

Also, they are NOT price matching if you've already purchased one. They are allowing full refunds from the past 60 days, however.

You can get them right now on Best Buy's website.
