sucks though, i shipped to to my CA addy but will probably be back in HI before it ships... :-/

Just when you thought $300 for a $99 16GB TouchPad was bad, a white TouchPad pops up on eBay:

On a more serious note, TouchPad's are popping up on HP's site as being in stock. Some say HP is testing the site or they're selling out fast cause the site doesn't show them in stock for very long. If we haven't had enough of the blood pressure rollercoaster, it could be worth a shot to keep refreshing HP's TouchPad page lol

posting now on my new touchpad, pretty sweet little gadget, takes some getting use to but I'm digging it. Btw Thomas, if by some magical way I see any best buy get them ordered or in stock I'll pm you asap and I'll post of here. Buuuutttttttt most likely we are not getting anything.

Hows the overall speed and performance? Heard originally it was kind of slow and laggy but HP claimed they fixed it with an update.

Having my doubts now. Ordered one from Amazon on Mon I think and they still have not charged my credit card, and the order is still "processing". Think I am SOL at this point.

I admire your optimism thinking that your order from Neobits is still valid, but your definitely in the same boat as me and Evo dadi, they took our money and DO NOT have any more Touchpads and dont know if they will get any more, all he said was "we hope to"

In other words, we have as much hope as getting one from them at this point as we do standing in line as best buy. Just because they still have our money doesnt mean anything.
