Mine's also showing as Shipping Soon, so I'll wait and see whether it's progressed by the morning.

Site still says Shipping Soon but my card was just charged. Here's hoping...

To clarify, this is from Amazon/OnSale (in case anyone else is in the same boat). Ordered at ~4:40 PM Sunday PST.
 
I also bought a few from Amazon/OnSale. Says "Shipping Soon", but I expect to see cancellation emails as they had them in stock for hours. From what I read, they are dropshippers.
 
Anyone have any luck going through Barnes & Noble? I placed an order for two but it looks like it'll be iffy if I'll get those.

I ordered one as a backup in case OnSale fell through and now it's sitting at "unable to process order".

Someone on Slickdeals posted this from B&N:

The HP Touch Pad sale over the weekend triggered an unprecedented response. We are currently reviewing inventory and orders to determine the number of requested orders that can be fulfilled for this item. Cancellation notices are going out automatically to customers whose orders were placed after the inventory was depleted. Please note that it's our policy not to charge a customer's credit card unless the product is shipped. Therefore, even if you have received an authorization notification, your card won't be charged until the product is shipped. We sincerely regret any inconvenience.

Interestingly, I haven't received a cancellation email yet.

I ordered 20 hours ago and JUST got the cancellation email. I don't know when you ordered yours, but you might still be screwed :/
 
Ordered mine from Office Depot at August 20, 2011 12:56 AM

Has anyone got theirs shipped from them yet? My status is on "3 Days Delivery Pending"
 
Goofy me and lady and oldest boy were in BB last Saturday evening, shopping for new frig,,, lady there kindly mentioned something about these [I hadn't really paid any mind to 'em, and being in stores all day, hadn't heard the news of their price drop]. So, sent boy and woman over the electronics whilst I haggered the nice blond girl about price of a frig. After done, went over to converse with family and BB guy, and finally decided to get one, the 32GB version, as felt it had potential to at least be a :cool: device for the wife to play upon, and store photos, music, etc., all for a decent price. Not until got home, started researching, and found myself cursings at myself - should have bought more than just the one,,, get one for mom, etc. as good gifts. Drats... but, yet positive is now have this to experiment with. Oh, and side note - actually got the new frig from Lowe's [be delivered tomorrow morning].

I've been travelling all day so couldn't reply sooner but yeah, I got a cancellation email from B&N at about the same time as you. Also had an order in with Acquire (local seller) and that was cancelled too. I just have the Amazon/OnSale order open now.
 
B&N canceled all orders, even those before the drop. I'm still wary of the onSale ones as they didn't ship today. My Amazon one comes tomorrow.
 
My Best Buy order finally came through. Just got a shipping confirmation.

EDIT:
Shipped out of Fresno, CA and is scheduled for Charlotte, NC delivery on Tuesday, August 30.

Update: My Office Depot order for a 32GB just got shipped today :)
Maybe this will help some of you?
 
My onSale via Amazon order changed from "Shipping Soon" to Cancelled last night around midnight. Oh well!

Local Best Buy didn't have any in stock this morning when they opened. Oh well II.
 
OnSale cancelled mine today.

Send Amazon a msg to see how to leave feedback (saw elsewhere you can do that after 3 days for cancelled orders).

Does anybody know of any stores that still have these?

When I called Best Buy early yesterday to enquire about my order, the CSR indicated that some stores might have stock left/ on the way. It's basically hit or miss.

Personally, I wouldn't expect any store would have any left at this point.

$99 doorstop.

Though it might be a collector's item someday. A rare example of MegaFail. It would look absolutely smashing next to a Virtual Boy.

Have you een tried using it? It is really good. I have one along with my iPad 2. I have to say HP did a very good job with it.

Fanboys....

Btw, I bought the TouchPad simply because my mom wants my iPad. So far, no regrets.

There are some glaringly simple things HP could have done to make the UI more responsive. Mainly TURN OFF ALL THE DANG LOGGING. Sheesh this thing logs EVERYTHING.

I find myself swiping up on my iPhone now to swap applications more so then I find myself double tapping the TouchPads home button.
