I know what you mean with the rant :) I spent far too many hours of my life this week trying get hold of a Touchpad, all to no avail, just hoping Expansys come through with a unit I pre-ordered earlier in the week!?
Totally agree in terms of the handling / press release relating to the the sale of the consumer division, and the axing of the WebOS devices was incredibly inept however not a total surprise, CEO Leo Apotheker vision for HP is enterprise and the purchase of the British software company Autonomy for 7.1bn supports this, HP will soon become another IBM only with a consumer printer division.

I'm uncertain that HP will care if you spend your hard earned cash on Apple products, after all their consumer facing division is up for sale, and they wasted 1.2 billion on the acquisition of Palm / WebOS which they're in the process of laying to rest :)
Good find - I think this is the generic product finder for Europe which lists Currys / PCWorld in the UK.
PhillipO'Bern looks like Misco have been selling there Touchpads on Ebay.. could explain why they suddenly sold out without any price reduction....
Naughty naughty Misco, some angry followers on tweeter:

Expansys have tweeted they are sourcing further stock:
"To everyone asking about HP TouchPad; thanks for query, we're sourcing more stock, page will update w/price soon as we know what's possible!"
AlexanderVaksman Totally agree... think I might bid £1000 on all touchpads on ebay............. then leave the country :)
