We know our readers are anxiously trying to find the heavily discounted HP TouchPad tablets that were blown-out of stock over the weekend.
We tried calling several HP reps along with emailing them. It's not exactly what we wanted and but here is the official HP statement emailed from an HP spokeswoman:
Therefore what we published yesterday, still holds true.
- "We are pleased by the response to webOS and look forward to customer feedback so we can further enhance the platform.
- TouchPads are currently sold-out and customers can check with hp.com or retailers for more information. We will not be selling the 4G AT&T TouchPad. There will be no public launches for the Pre 3."
The best place to buy the HP Touchpad is through HP online store to see if goes back in stock. The best time is usually in the wee hours of the morning night. We are hoping that you could use a coupon code for even more off $15 off orders of $75 or greater at the HP Home & Home Office Store. Exclusions Apply. Use code: SAVE15HP!
People who ordered HP Touchpads online over the weekend from Office Depot and OnSale are receiving confirmations that their orders have shipped. According to an HP Twitter feed, the best place to get an HP TouchPad is through the HP online store by signing up for a notification.

Smartphones, tablets , and computers are made with toxic/rare metals that are dangerous to the environment and must be recycled properly.
If the devices are already manufactured, there could be something philanthropic that HP could do the HP Pre smartphones and tablets. They could donate the tablets to schools in low-income areas or sell the Palm Pre in other parts of the world.
We really don't one of the HP dumping dumping the devices in landfill where it can be harmful to the planet.
Perhaps some environmental groups, could pressure HP to discover what it will be doing with these devices. In the meantime the blow-out HP TouchPads can be purchased at steal and be used for tablet reading, surfing and more.
The HP TouchPad was second to iPad in a recent survey.
