delay (update)
Yes, the HP Slate 500 is officially backordered, less than a month after its
enterprising debut, and Hewlett-Packard claims it's because of "extraordina
ry demand," a phrase that's presently not quantifiable. The long and short o
f it, though, is that you're not getting one by Yuletide if you purchase the
pricey portable today, as you'll have to wait six weeks until they're ready
to ship out. Still, if your budding business bought in on day one, there's
still a chance it might arrive in time -- ours is due to our door in early D
ecember, if that gives you any idea. We've pinged HP for comment, and hope t
o hear back soon. We'll be sure to let you know just how "extraordinary" tho
se sales numbers might be.
Update: We've yet to hear back from HP proper, but a trusted tipster with a
contact inside HP spun us a very interesting tale -- HP reportedly only ever
planned a limited production run of 5,000 units, and received orders for 9,
000 instead. When demand outstripped supply, HP apparently had to re-hire pr
oduction workers just to get the presses printing out tablets again, and are
presently placating angry customers by offering them over $100 off their $8
00 purchase as apology. | O**X
