With the dead eco-system, can you do anything with it at all?
It has something like 4000 apps, 1300 free ones. I'm sure some of the paid apps are just books, but there's a few staples on there like rdio, Angry Birds, Kindle, Facebook (with a really good interface), Robotech HD and others.firehawk12 said:
Don't expect much more than a good piece of tech and web machine, really. For me, at that price, it's worth it.

does anyone know if there is a store in downtown Toronto that sells adapters that allow me to use my PS2 memory cards and controllers on my PS3?

Oh, have they announced what their plans for the app store will be? Are they still going to support it in any capacity?

Well, that's better than nothing I suppose. Why would anyone bother making webOS apps now though? Dope.
But hey, at least someone made a CBR reader... that alone is probably going to make me buy one tomorrow.

I think Staples will drop the price tomorrow. Some locations open at 8. 
Sucks for those people who actually bought it at full price (and are trying to sell it on Kijiji/CL), but I guess they can always return it. Launched July 1st though, so early adopters are SOL.

Both the Waterloo Future Shop and Kitchener Best Buy were unable to fill my request so I ordered a 32GB shipped to Vancouver. Kinda want one for the plane ride home though so gonna hit up the mall tomorrow.
I haven't gone on the hunt for a super cheap toy in a while. I sort of miss this ;D

When I looked The Cambridge Futureshop(Supercenter or whatever) still had some in stock. Still haven't herd back yet(I placed the order at 10:15pm). I also ordered a 32gb from Bestbuy with shipping. I just got an email that said Your order 61015271 was successfully processed today! I hope that means it's guaranteed to go through.

I had my order filled, but there's still a chance that they may cancel it if they run out of their remaining stock.
I went to 3 different future shops and 2 different best buys in Vancouver, and none of them had any stock. Here's to hoping my order actually gets shipped!

I'd say this Touchpad purchase is worth it. I really just wanted it to browse the internet in bed and in that regard its even better than an iPad.
If you guys want one though you may already be out of luck. They already sold out here in Regina at BB and FS.

What's the main difference between the 16 and the 32GB units? Tablet noob here. Help me out. I want something for browsing mainly. What else can the HD be used for?

If there are hoarders, I hope they get screwed. :lol:
I wanted to get a 16gb one for my mom, but oh well. Maybe some will show up in stores next week.

They also still list them at full price.Luigi87 said:

Well one can attempt "Price Match" in the shopping cart (one thing I do love about NCIX... though I loved them more before HST came to Ontario). Of course they could still decline it, in which case they lose sales.
What kills me, is I was 175 reward points away from free shipping...

Well placed an order, let's see if they price match it or not. I kind hope not because the moment I placed the order I got hit with instant buyers remorse.

Hahaha, can't you cancel it?
The fact that you have to pay shipping at NCIX kind of kills the deal though, sadly. 150 for the 16gb shipped, but it was 170 for the 32gb if you could find it in store.
On RFD people are talking about buying direct from HP and hoping that they'll honor the price drop on Monday.

Shipped to me in Ontario ($7.50 shipping) it came to a total of $121.97.
That person on RFD made a typo. They put 152.36 in the top line, when they meant 125.36.
You can Cancel orders if you want.

As for HP.ca, can't even order the 16GB from them anymore..

I am just terrible with money. Always waste it on something dumb like this. But I am kind of tempted to see if the hacking scene gets anywhere. Always find that stuff interesting.Luigi87 said:
Paid $3 extra for purolator shipping because canada post awful in every single possible way.
Lostconfused said:
My father is a CP retiree so my cheapness of going with them is paying into his pension <.<
Though yeah, Purolator is incredibly fast (though the one-chance delivery, or come visit us in the middle of no where is a pain in the ass).
Still pending, but it is more than likely they're getting hammered right now, so it is all a waiting game.Dunlop said:

I was tempted to try NCIX yesterday, but I didn't know you could pricematch on the web.
lol, They had them in stock at my FS last night but I had just put my kid to sleep...I put down in store pickup and then called FS to get them to put it aside. 45 minutes on hold and the dude just sold the last 3 16gb ones but had a 32 gb in stock. it was past 9pm so he told he to put a new order if I wanted it which i did.
Called sthe store this morning just before it opened and it was already sold...no I just want this thing on principle

The place they leave their parcels at is less than 10 minutes away from my house by car. So purolator deliveries are very convenient for me.Luigi87 said:
