Wow. The OfficeMax site, http://www.officemax.com/ actually will just return an empty page when you search for "HP Touchpad" or "Touchpad". Note that searching for something that doesn't exist in their inventory returns a _different_ page. It's as if they're actively blocking searches for "HP Touchpad" and "Touchpad".

BestBuy is no longer selling them and if you click on a link for HP Touchpad from the back to school page it shows an error message.

They started selling them again about 4 hours ago.

but they will not let you pickup on stores (not even with the usual 3-5 ship-to-store). you have to pay a minimum of $10 shipping on them

*edit: link for free shipping: http://slickdeals.net/?&u2=http://www.bestbuy.com/site/M...

(keeping the slickdeal redirect they had since they are the source anyway)

it's still $114.74 in california after tax and 'recycling fee' --first time i've seen the last one.

I went to my local Office max today to see if they had any left. They were sold out.

The guy also told me they have only ever had 1 in stock.
