Second batch of TouchPads given first to customers who ordered earlier

Apparently the demand for the HP TouchPad has been overwhelming that despite HP announcing they would no longer support webOS, they decided to do one more production run for those who were too slow or unfortunate enough not to get their hands on the remaining stock.

If you were one of those who did not grab the TouchPad when it was on its fire sale and are hoping to do so now, the bad news is that HP will be giving priority to the customers who placed their orders before HP realized they had run out of stock. Which means that the latest batch of HP TouchPads that are in production will be given to those customers first, and whatever’s left is up for grabs.

If you’re seriously considering getting the TouchPad (and why wouldn’t you? $99 for the base model seems like a pretty solid deal!), perhaps it’s best to keep your eyes peeled the moment they go on sale to prevent another round of disappointment.
