If they're this popular maybe HP will reconsider and keep making them. Is that wishful thinking?

They sold like hotcakes at $99, but they apparently cost more than $300 to build. I don't think anyone will be jumping to make more.

It's a great tablet and the OS is really well done, but there's just no room for a third player after iOS and Android.

Interesting!

I went to my local BB today and there was line. I missed getting one by about 6 people. I'll try again tomorrow.

How do translate "store number" to store address?

If you go to the BB website and use the store locator to find stores near you, it will display them with store number.

All local Best Buys and Radio Shacks are sold out. CompUSA (TigerDirect) seems to have them, but they're refusing to sell their inventory.

The spreadsheet is incomplete and outdated now.

Best bet is to keep a very close eye out for HP.com restocking.

Can use Chrome extension PageMonitor to monitor any web page for changes. I am doing this with multiple online vendors.

Thanks for the tip on "PageMonitor" just added it.

Quick OT question? do you use "PageMonitor" to watch FT threads of interest. I set up Monitoring on a FT thread I follow, and though it says the page has changed there is no discernible changes to me, thinking that maybe the posters post count have changed, causing it to appear as though the page content has changed.
