The HP Touchstone for the recently-firesale'd Touchpad are back in stock. Under $55 shipped to Australia, or under $100 for two (sell one maybe?). An absolute bargain. These will sell out quickly, so grab one now.

Edit: this is the official inductive charging dock for the Touchpad. Just plonk your Touchpad onto the dock, and it starts charging. No wires, no plugs, and it even does it through a case. The other 'side' of the charging mechanism is already in the back of your Touchpad. This device completes the circuit.

It can also automatically turn your TP into Exhibition mode, which can show pics, the weather, your Facebook feed, etc etc.

Mod: Fixed URL

Update: link broke, here's a new one that works http://amzn.com/B0055QYJIS
Note that the price has now gone up, and they might not ship to Australia for the new seller, as it is not Amazon direct anymore.

    Hey mate - throw the price in the title. And maybe use the word 'dock' so people know what you're talking about.

    • georgejungle on 07/09/2011 - 17:31

      yep. first thought was "what's a touchstone". next… so how much is it?

    Sorry chaps, deal updated with more info.

  • King Tightarse on 07/09/2011 - 17:37

    Nice - if paying by credit card (not 28 degrees unfortunately) is it better to pay Amazon in US dollars or Aussie?
    Whose rate is better?

    • anthony on 07/09/2011 - 17:44

      It depends on what rate your credit card gives you when you are charged and also what happens to the exchange rate between the time you order the item and when you are charged.

    • [Deactivated] on 07/09/2011 - 17:44

      Depends on the what credit card you have, but I think in most cases it's better to pay in US dollars. Visa publishes the exchange rates they use here (but you'll still have to find out the additional fees your particular card charges): http://corporate.visa.com/pd/consumer_services/consumer_ex_r…

      • King Tightarse on 07/09/2011 - 18:01

        Thanks = went with USD.

        • stanas on 07/09/2011 - 19:46

          Yes be careful of the international transaction fees. The crap Amazon covertor maybe better when you factor them in.

    The OEM HP custom fit case is also available for $25.04: http://www.amazon.com/HP-TouchPad-Custom-Fit-Case/dp/B0055QY…

    Bought bought the Touchstone and case about 2 hours ago here; I'm surprised they're still in stock. :)

  • feisca on 07/09/2011 - 17:56

    I think HN had it at $45 during the fire sale. Not sure if available now, I didn't get it when I got my 16 GB TP.

    • rodh on 07/09/2011 - 18:47

      no accesories left in australia AFAIK

      • feisca on 07/09/2011 - 19:34

        That's too bad. Was secretly holding back, just in case they slash even more. It doesn't bother me, it's not a must-have.

        • GreenHornet on 08/09/2011 - 08:28

          Yeah i know, i have been holding back too.. but the outlook gets bleaker by the day..

    • TheFlock on 08/09/2011 - 01:08

      I paid $25 at Clive Peeters.

    Read this as HP Touchpad under $55 and quickly clicked.

    It's hard to positive vote after that

  • Gecko on 07/09/2011 - 18:33

    Bought 3! Been waiting for this!

  • pennyless on 07/09/2011 - 18:47

    This is for US power sockets right?

    • rodh on 07/09/2011 - 19:34

      yeah would be

      • justhooked on 07/09/2011 - 20:11

        it has a USB plug so use your au plug you got with the tablet

    • TheFlock on 08/09/2011 - 01:09

      The Australian version had an American plug on it by default, and came with the international set of plugs. I'd assume they are all the same.

  • lamerthanlam on 07/09/2011 - 18:48

    Great. Time to order 5 of them even though I really need one and sell the rest for twice the price on ebay.

    • Gecko on 07/09/2011 - 18:54

      They're great for the Exhibition mode - have these setup to display diffeerent things depending on whether you're docking your touchpad in the bedroom, kitchen or toilet.

      The last one was mostly a joke. Mostly.

  • rodh on 07/09/2011 - 18:49

    Thanks for posting this! quickly bought one for a mate and myself, also added the official HP case for $25. It'll be the US power adapter but should be able to get a cheap adapter

    • justhooked on 07/09/2011 - 20:13

      uses a USB to plug into the power plug so use the one that came with the tablet

  • quarrymaster on 07/09/2011 - 18:56

    One if those things the iPad competition does well. Oh well…

  • Testeagle on 07/09/2011 - 19:06

    Be great with the $99 touchpad I never managed to get hold of…

  • deco20 on 07/09/2011 - 19:21

    link doesnt work?

    I just used the below link.

    The OEM HP custom fit case is also available for $25.04: http://www.amazon.com/HP-TouchPad-Custom-Fit-Case/dp/B0055QY…

  • rluiten on 07/09/2011 - 19:45

    Thanks for this been looking for it and checking amazon, but all the previous amazon ones werent shipping to aus.

  • megaphat09 on 07/09/2011 - 20:06

    These look really cool but I don't use the touchpad enough as it is, maybe I'll grab one at a later stage if I use it more.

    • Domingo on 07/09/2011 - 22:37

      Or you could pass it on to someone who'd actually use it :)

    Hope there's still some on Friday……..I've used my weekly budget, would buy one now but my Mrs will kill me :P

    ~$55 seems a lot to pay for a dock when you only paid $98 for the tablet ;)

    • strangeloops66 on 08/09/2011 - 00:19

      True to his name, although "Invisible" might be a better name.

  • glitchx on 08/09/2011 - 01:10

    url not working :(

  • GreenHornet on 08/09/2011 - 08:37

    pardon my ignorance.. it is written that it is $55 shipped.. Isn't the free shipping option only within the US??

    • cmdwedge on 08/09/2011 - 08:48
      +1

      It's around $44USD, plus a bit over $8 for shipping, so around $51, 52 AUD shipped, depending on the conversion rate of the day. Thus, 'under $55'.

      • GreenHornet on 08/09/2011 - 10:01

        Thanks for the explination!
        Is that for the case, or the charging dock? (it's listed at $55.99 and by my math that works out to approx AU52.60

        Also is the only way to see the postage quote, to sign up?

  • sjp770 on 08/09/2011 - 09:33

    A HN rep told me that HP would have the accessories available online at the promissed 50% off after HN cancelled all back orders for the accessories.

    Can anyone find them on HP's maze of a website?

    • King Tightarse on 08/09/2011 - 09:52

      Did he say when that would be??

      • sjp770 on 08/09/2011 - 09:57

        Unfortunately no.

  • chillemi on 08/09/2011 - 10:21

    The link has expired, the new seller is more expensive and doesn't ship to Aus.

    • GreenHornet on 08/09/2011 - 11:22

      being new to the Amazon experience,
      How do you know they don't ship to Aus?
      Can you gleen this info from the 'Product Description' section where it says 'Shipping'? (if so, would I have to contact them in the event it says "This item is also available for shipping to select countries outside the U.S."?)

      Cheers!

      • chillemi on 08/09/2011 - 11:27

        If they won't let you ship an item to Aus you'll find out when you add it to your cart and try to check out. After selecting your shipping address it'll usually give you an error message.

        • GreenHornet on 08/09/2011 - 11:34

          oh.. thats easy!
          Cheers

  • justhooked on 12/09/2011 - 15:31

    thanks worked out at $49.84 and has now left the US and on it way over so should have it soon
