    HP Touchpad

    Wasn't sure where to put this up but will dabs have the sale on the HP Touchpads?

    I know that HP in US has dropped price on those recently and now Currys is dropping the price to €99, will dabs follow in those footsteps? And if so do you have any ETA when this migth happen?

    DSG and bestbuy both reduced prices, and sold out straight away.

    I presume dabs.com are doing something similar and I would like to get a touchpad at the discount price.

    If I order a 32GB touchpad this evening at the old price, can any dabs staff confirm that the updated price will be charged when the item is processed?

    If they do reduce the price hold one back for me , a nice 32gb but I think this will just be PC World dumping a massive excess of stock

    Just read all about it so expect they will cut their price as HP are refunding retailers

    Hold some back for us PLEASE hate to miss that price due to not being on

    I think that Iconia is the single stupidest thing ever created it is useless it fullfills absolutely nothing it's useless as a tablet as it is way too thick and completely useless as a laptop cause who in their right mind prefers tapping a screen to a physical key.

    I concur, also the fact that for the price, you don't even getting a sodding dedicted graphics card in it, but the usual sh**ty onboard Intel rubbish.

    I checked out the locals and it's a no go for the Touchpad. For THAT price I would be well up for getting one, especially as there is a TouchDroid project looking to get Android ported to it.

    Would definitely be interested if the prices are as elsewhere (£89 for 16GB or £115 for 32GB). Of course, all retailers who have dropped the prices have sold out already.

    Question - if you do decide to follow suit, will you give us a bit of warning to at least have a fighting chance of getting one?!?! Looks like you have over 200 of each in stock and I very much doubt you would shift them at current pricing (honest, guv).
