HP TOUCHPAD selling for 99$ from 20th August

[madhavk8]

HP has discontinued Web OS, so they are selling Touchpad by 99$ from 20th August.

I have a question, if i get a friend to buy it in US, what is the best way of shipping it to India i.e which courier and other details.

 

[killthedope]

I tried all the online website ... its sold out ... damn should have grabbed it yesterday itself ...

You can try getting it via Shopandship or use any of your friends who is travelling

Everyone: keep in mind that this product will have no warranty, no updates, no support, no new app development, etc.

Having said that, getting to check out WebOS at $99 is still a steal. IMHO, WebOS is by far the most excellent OS for a mobile device - MUCH better than iOS or Android.

HP has NOT discontinued webOS. They have only announced their intention to get out of the consumer hardware business, that includes Tablets and Cellphones business. In other words they will simply no longer make the hardfware themselves but will continue the support for webOS and hardware for it will be made by other licensees. Similiar to how Android phones and tablets are made.

Good luck with finding a TouchPad at that price, they are sold out at almost most places. I have been a webOS user for almost two years and I assure you there is no other operating system like it. I use the Pre+ as my primary phone and I also have a 32GB TouchPad that I bought for $641.99 last month.

PS: I have bought ONE 32GB ($165) and THREE 16GB ($130) Touchpads in the current clearance sale. Now I just have to figure out how to get them to India. I am also looking to buy the Pre 3 from UK.

Sanjay If u wish the touchpad to sell after coming to India. You can contact me. I wish to buy that.

 

[kaptan]

Hey, fellow Pre user! I did'nt know there were any. I used my Unlocked GSM Pre- right until it developed the dreaded "phantom touches" touchscreen, so while I had it repaired (ship back to Germany), I thought I'd switch to something more reliable hardware wise - bought the iPhone4. 6 months down the line, and the iPhone now seems to have a faulty backlight!

Anyway, back on topic, I wouldn't trust HP farther than I can throw them. Remember all those promises on WebOS 2 for Pre-, and the way they backed out? Or ALL those launch dates for Pre2, Pre3 etc.?

I asked someone to check yesterday in the stores (in Austin TX area). They were all gone on Saturday itself. They all are showing up on ebay for around $200 now.

rumor has it that best buy returned 250,000 pcs back to HP and so did radio shack
They should come back into circulation

seems they didnt want a flea market situation
dont know how far its true

 

[madhavk8]

Within a couple of days we will get it in ebay india for 8-9k i guess. No one in their right minds will pay more than that. All the grey market dealers will start selling it there to at-least get a part of their investment back.

Thanks Arun, i just bought one and shipped to my us office, for 116$ taxes and express delivery, i will pick it up later when i go there

 

[manniraj]

I got a mail from 20north.com regarding the same. It is available for Rs.9256 so people from india can try this option and sadly as it is limited stock you cannot use the duty free gift option.
