HP TouchPad still available at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and (maybe) BestBuy

If you missed out on the buying frenzy this weekend, don’t worry. There are still a few places that haven’t sold out yet (on Monday morning).

Barnes & Noble still have the TouchPad (for about  $101).  I’m a little surprised to hear that; I didn’t know that they carried it at all. In fact, this is the first time I ever heard of their electronics department on their website.

If you miss out on B&N and the other offers then you might want to look at Amazon. The TouchPad has already started showing up in the hands of scalpers. Right now you can get one for around $200.

My local BestBuy sold out of the TouchPad in minutes, but they told me that they might be getting a shipment from the warehouse. No one knew when it would arrive, but they did suggest that I keep checking the stock tracking page for the TouchPad.

Update: According to an HP insider, the HP website should get more TouchPads in stock later this week. You can sign up to be notified by email.

P.S. Keep an eye on this space (or my Twitter account). I will be keeping an eye on FatWallet, Twitter, and some deals tracking sites. I plan to update this post throughout the day as I learn of more deals.

I ordered one from B&Ns website this morning and so far I got the confirmation email. My paypal hasn’t been charged yet though so I’m still waiting. They had a few at walmart in my area but they wanted the regular price still. According to them the sale was only suppose to be yesterday morning.

I find this interesting. At he bottom of the order screen it says…

* Your credit card will be charged when your order ships.
If you selected Ship as Available, the total charged to your credit card may vary. Magazine subscription charges,
however, are processed as soon as you place your order.

But they did charge my credit card right away so I better be getting one!

I guess I won’t be getting one. Here is what I got today….

I ordered mine around 2am this morning. …. i wonder if they sold out before then… i hope not =(

F******, they sent email just now when everyone is sold out. Why not they have automated inventory system. Not a trusted seller any more.

They also say at the bottom of the order screen that they don’t bill you when they actually do bill you! It’s not the end of the world but it does tie up $105 on my credit card.
