For those who want details, apparently it is at all these places:
Best Buy, Future Shop, The Source, London Drugs, and Staples in Canada will be selling the 16GB TouchPad for $199, and the 32GB version for $149 starting August 20, online and in store. |

Actually, that's $99 for 16 GB model and $149 for the 32 GB. That's an astoundingly cheap price even for an ereader.

Tubemonkey is always saying that tablets are overpriced. Maybe this is the chance for him to get one.

We are leaving the PSG business but not software and webOs is software. if we are going to license webOs, sell it or what, still is not clear.
PSG was a very small area for HP. And like I said on another post, HP is not just a consumer product company like Apple. We sell very good servers that serve as great hardware platform for several database engines, including Oracle. Apple has a small division of servers but no ones use those a high scale level. |

Maybe is too late for you. They are sold out I think and BB took them out.

Seems like Best Buy and Costco shipped back their Touchpads to HP. I expect we'll see more in stock on HP website in the coming days.

Hmm. Didn't think of that. Only bought two (for myself and my brother). Oh well, when I bought, only 32GB was available and those exceed my individual gifting budget. I think I'll grab a few 16GB models on Monday. HP's bound to have more available once they receive all the surplus from Best Buy.
