Regional retailers join the TouchPad Party 14
As retail stores go, there are a whole lot more players than the few dozen major chains that find themselves regularly visited around the world. HP knows that consumers like you don't limit your shopping to places like BestBuy, Wal-Mart and Carphone Warehouse; Sometimes you want to go to the retail store that is unique to your community or region, out of convenience or to support your local economy, and especially so if they offer bundle deals or discounts that the other big players cannot. In the same way that HP is getting the TouchPad a presence on nearly every online sales portal frequented by the public, they are now making a push to regional retail stores as well, such as the family owned P.C. Richard & Son stores in New York or Micro Center from Cincinnati.
It's a show of HP's scale as they push the device out to more retail locations than most of their competitors are able to, and with this being the first business day of the hard-launch for the HP TouchPad that they told us about last week, we'll expect that more locations will start opening up with the device and its accessories in the near future. If you've been wanting to get your hands on a TouchPad but have been waiting for it to show up at other stores first, now would be the perfect time to go to your favorite location to see what they have to offer.

Espero que llegue a Mediamarkt españa..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sweet! Can't wait to start meeting more of the new members of the webOS community!
This is great, just wish H/P would do the same with other countries and push it to every country in the world.
I'll keep this short: legacy device. No (sprint) updates coming. No devices coming. Don't want/need any tablet. Not paying Verizon or AT&T prices...for a Pre 3 which may or may not be released...this year? ever? when?
my Pre 1.4.5 broke on Friday. the replacement Pre is **** up the sync / back-up. updating to Dec 2010 and no email accounts will sync.
webOS is best, of course, y'all. Just ask anyone I've met who ever discussed cell phones.
See you again webOS, farewell and good luck. I hope it runs amok over mobile computing everywhere! come next upgrade, will see where webOS is and maybe come back to it then.
For now, it's Droid.

would you just go away already.
You plan on posting this **** in every single thread?
Can this fool be banned?
Relax.
Enough already
LOL - The forums are so regulated by thought-police that people are moving their posts to the comments section of the front page.
I know this type of post irritates a lot of readers but honestly I think it's fine. People need a place to vent, and I myself was once one of those that flipped out every time I read a touchpad article because it made me think "yeah, yeah, that's great but WHAT THE **** DO I DO WITH THIS BROKEN PIECE OF HARDWARE THAT I HAVE COME TO RELY ON WITH NO UPGRADE PATH IN SIGHT!!11!!!"
It is a very frustrating situation and I will continue to have major sympathy for any Sprint user in this situation - there are still thousands yanno. Anyhow, for myself, I finally retired my poor cracking, failing, though still beloved Pre minus and traded in for an Epic4G.
There's tons of stuff I love about my new setup, faster hardware, solid hardware, great camera, lots of useful apps, great widget customizability. On the downside, I still miss WebOS, now more than ever. Android's task-switching and notifications are better than iOS by a long shot but still waaaaaaay behind WebOS and it's a source of continuing frustration. If and when HP gets traction in the consumer space and is able to strongarm Sprint into carrying their phones again (p.s. a hearty ****-you to Sprint for not providing us a WebOS upgrade path) then I'll happily jump back to my fav mobile OS.
Thanks for the support man. I wasn't venting. That's why I said webOS is still the best.
I hope webOS succeeds wildly!
I noticed that PC Richards dropped their price by $50 on the 32GB device. Do you think that Best Buy's price match will honor PC Richards' reduced price?
I believe Best Buy will price match any retailer that is within 25 miles of the store you're shopping at.
Micro Center has had the TouchPad since launch.
Wonderful.
