    Seriously, WTF, why are there heaps of these Ebayers waiting at home for a deal. They are better off getting a real job. LOL. OK, I just have sour grapes.

  • justhooked on 22/08/2011 - 15:03

    just got back from Port kennedy (WA ) they took phone orders this AM and sold out of 16 so only 32g left they let me buy 2 so hope one of the kids wants one or
    i will have one up for grabs only arrived at store 12.01 Thanks for the heads up

    • ssmac on 22/08/2011 - 15:14

      Dibs! if you do :)

  • Gerry Harvey on 22/08/2011 - 15:03

    So did you get one jv?

    • Yacht on 22/08/2011 - 15:04

      Gerry, Can be making any profit on these.
      Will the accessaries be deeply discounted?

    • jv on 22/08/2011 - 15:07

      No, it doesn't run the apps I'd use it for… Will wait for the iPad 3 early next year… gives me lots of time to save up…

    Bought one at Harvey Norman City Cross (Adelaide).
    There was a quite a queue… Only 25 left when I was paying and there were people in the queue with (and without) the Yellow Slips allocated to those in the queue.
    I got the 32GB bundled with ext. warranty as that was all they had left.

    Big smile :+)

    • Yacht on 22/08/2011 - 15:05

      How much was the warranty?

      • holdenmg on 22/08/2011 - 15:17

        Total was $178.01, so $30.01 for 1+2yrs extended…
        They were being offered as a bundle, and it sort of made sense given the HP situation.

    • garethb on 22/08/2011 - 15:21

      Still going to keep my MyTab until they can port this thing over to Android. BTW, webOS is not too bad, was expecting the worst after reading these posts but was pleasantly suprised. Sure it doesn't have all the apps is still a very capable OS!

  • garethb on 22/08/2011 - 15:18

    Got the 32GB, the 16GB sold out at 2:05! Thats at HN Bundall on the Gold Coast. When I left the store, there was no longer a queue and still a few 32GB around. Just got back now….

  • lplau on 22/08/2011 - 15:19

    Nunawading VIC sold out at 2:40PM….
    I'm guessing almost most metro suburbs would be sold out within first hour.

    They were doing the strictly 1 per person thing. So i had to get a friend with me…..

  • simhanada on 22/08/2011 - 15:19

    luck my dad lives just down the road from HN Moorabbin. Found the post at about 1:35, rang dad to see if he was busy, made a call to HN to see if I could get one on hold with no luck but the guy said to get down there asap if I wanted one. Rang dad back and sent him down so now I have one 32gb waiting for pickup :) He said they started selling them before 2pm and was under the impression they were all accounted for by the time he left.
