I registered at nowinstock.net and they just sent me updates every time someone had them in stock. It resulted in me ordering on Best Buy's site using my phone, but I'd already missed a couple of notifications from WalMart, and didn't want to wait until I got home since they don't seem to last long. I got my TF yesterday and have really enjoyed playing with it.
Personally, I don't think its artificial shortage. I think they just didn't make a lot of them. Android tablet sales have been pretty lackluster. And it's not like this is making the 6 O'Clock news. A few tech blogs are writing about it, but that's pretty small potatoes when you're comparing it to things like the iPad. Plus, Samsung's new 10" Galaxy is coming out soon. This has been known for awhile. I would think it would make more sense for Asus to get as many units as they could sell out there before it hits. I think it was just them not wanting to overextend themselves.
