Due to the failing WebOS, HP have discontinued the HP Touchpad and subsequently retails (PC World, Comet, Currys etc) are all selling off the stock for £89 (from £389).
Im not a fan, but at such a big price drop I am trying to find one.
All my local stores are sold out and you cant buy online 
I was hoping to snatch one up before it becomes well know.
If anyone else find somewhere to order, please say.

So is this their 'iPad' equivalent? I thought they'd have jumped on the Android bandwagon for an OS!

I honestly can't believe the people who knew about this and didn't take it up...
like a guy at work, he sent me an email last night at 10pm with the discounted pcworld offer... yet didn't purchase any  (I of course read the email this morning at 9am when the offer was well and truely gone)
fucking fail.

Comet have a batch that they are allocating to the stores, first come first served, no pre-orders.
Some mouthy fat woman was in yesterday giving the usual rubbish about how she'd kick off bla bla bla.

Guys, amazon still have a few in stock, get over there.
Just read on the hotdeals website, that a few people have had the price corrected before shipping the unit.

Are you buying direct form amazon or a company selling through amazon?
I'd be more comfortable with amazon directly.
