It's the same old story of genius recognized <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/08/18/hp-will-discontinue-operations-for-webos-devices/">only after death</a>, and thus is the fate of webOS. If you were amongst the opportunistic hordes scavenging the interwebs for last night's <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/08/19/let-the-liquidation-begin-hps-16gb-touchpad-on-sale-for-99/">bargain bin $99</a> <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/29/hp-touchpad-review/">HP TouchPad</a> announcement, chances are you're <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/08/20/best-buy-stops-selling-selling-the-touchpad-hp-offers-owners-re/">fresh outta luck</a>. The <em>L.A. Times</em> is reporting widespread online store sell outs for the recently abandoned and heavily discounted 16GB and 32GB slates. While HP's own site and the biggie online retail outfits, like Circuit City and Walmart, have all but sold out of their web inventory, Amazon's third party sellers still have the tablets on offer -- just at non-discounted prices. Of course, you could always leave the hypnotic glow of your monitor and venture out into the real world where actual, physical stores are purported to have the tabs currently in stock. Try your luck, and let us know how things go in the comments below.<br />
<br />
<strong>Update</strong>: We've been hearing reports that select Best Buy outlets have begun selling their remaining inventory as of this afternoon. Also, it appears RadioShack plans to get in on the discounted fun, as leaked internal memos indicate an impending price cut. If you haven't had any luck snagging one of HP's also-ran tabs, now's your chance.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/08/20/hp-touchpad-fire-sale-spurs-online-sell-out-brick-and-mortars-m/">HP TouchPad fire sale spurs online sell out, brick-and-mortars may still carry stock (updated)</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Sat, 20 Aug 2011 20:26:00 EST.

	Quick! Someone tell <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/Walmart/">Walmart</a> Black Friday isn't for another five and a half months. With no new iPhone <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/03/28/no-iphone-5-at-wwdc-this-year-thats-how-it-looks-from-here/">in sight</a>, the retailer is selling the 16GB version for $147 on contract -- the kind of stunt we'd expect it to pull in an effort to reel in holiday shoppers. Why do we sound so unappreciative, you might ask? Easy: because you probably won't be able to get your hands on one. The sale, which applies to AT&amp;T and Verizon models, lasts until June 30, and only an unspecified number of "select" stores will even be participating. No word on how many discounted phones Walmart has to shill, but both the black and white versions are sold out online, which doesn't exactly bode well for your chances of scoring one in person.</div><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/07/walmart-temporarily-drops-iphone-4-price-to-147-not-that-youl/">Walmart temporarily drops iPhone 4 price to $147, not that you'll be able to find one</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Tue, 07 Jun 2011 15:32:00 EST.

The US had to wait for its <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/04/18/asus-eee-pad-transformer-uk-edition-review/">Eee Pad Transformer</a> launch a little longer than the rest of the world, but it's finally gotten its wish today and consumers' reaction seems to have been nothing short of voracious. Amazon's order page for the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/04/21/asus-eee-pad-transformer-hits-us-on-april-26-for-399/">$400</a> Android 3.0 tablet appears to have gone from "in stock" to "out of stock" within mere minutes, while Target -- the supplier fulfilling orders on behalf of Amazon -- also lists the Transformer as presently unavailable. ASUS' own Where To Buy page leads us to a bunch of dead ends as well, with Best Buy being the only retailer we can currently find with stock in the US. We can't say for sure whether we're looking at overwhelming demand or just limited supply, but it's hard to argue with ASUS' excellent value proposition here: a 10-inch IPS display, a dual-core SOC and a feature-rich tablet OS all for less than four Benjamins. You'll just need to be quick on the trigger if you want one.<br />

You won't be able to snap one up at your local GameStop <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/19/nintendo-3ds-us-launch-detailed-coming-to-the-us-in-march-27-fo/">for a full month</a>, but the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/Nintendo3DS/">Nintendo 3DS</a> had a solid launch in Japan today, reportedly liquidating nearly its entire initial shipment of 400,000 spiffy stereoscopic gaming handhelds by the end of the day. Some of those sales were to customers waiting in a few lines up to 2,000 persons long, but those lines were exceptions to the norm -- several publications note that very few stores actually had any lines to speak of, as most Japanese electronics retailers sold out when the 3DS went on pre-order over a month ago. Get a refresher on what to expect from the system <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/19/nintendo-3ds-in-depth-preview-slight-return-video/">here</a> (and <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/nintendo-3ds-in-depth-preview-it-works/">here</a>) or read all about the surprisingly orderly Japanese launch at our source links.<br />

<strong>Update: </strong>Our friends at Engadget Japanese were on hand for the 3DS launch, and picked up a pair of systems themselves -- get a closer look at one of the first retail 3DS units in the gallery below!<br />

Well, ain't that a shame. The <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/12/01/xim3-final-hardware-revealed-coming-soon-to-give-an-unfair-adva/">XIM3 mega-adapter</a> you've been waiting patiently for went on sale this week, and within 3.299 seconds, the company managed to blow through their entire stock. If you've been out of the loop, this here peripheral is designed to bring keyboards, mice and all sorts of other controlling devices to the average Xbox 360 owner, and it's obviously far more sophisticated than its <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/03/xim-2-xbox-360-mod-ready-for-pre-order-you-arent-ready-to-pony/">predecessor</a>. The good news is that it's only $149.99, but the bad news is that the source link currently directs you to a sign-up form to be notified of when stock is refreshed. It's pretty clear that the company's having trouble keeping 'em around, so we'd keep a pretty constant check on the site if you'd like to be a part of the <strike>first</strike> second wave. Oh, and don't be shocked to see your online skills mysteriously decline over the weekend -- something tells us a few folks will have an unfair advantage on the other side. Check out a <em>Black: OPS</em> example just after the break.<br />
<br />
<strong>Update</strong>: Looks as if the store may be up and down (<a href="http://www.xim3.com/community/index.php?topic=8566.0">but mostly down</a>) through Monday due to the crushing order load. A good problem to have, we suppose. Thanks, Tom!<br />

No problem! The 10-inch Advent Vega tablet, famously boasting NVIDIA's Tegra 2 chipset, just went on sale across the pond earlier today, and after a matter of hours, the &pound;249 device has already sold out. In a message that sounds eerily <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/11/13/hp-slate-500-sees-extraordinary-demand-experiences-six-week-s/">similar</a> to that uttered by HP regarding its Slate, <i>PC World</i> has confessed that the first shipment "sold out nearly as quickly as 'Take That' tickets." It's hard to say just how "unprecedented" the demand was with no actual sales figures, but it looks as if this here tablet will be quite the item this holiday season. The Tickle Me Elmo of slates? Maybe, just maybe.<br />

<strong>Update</strong>: We've touched base with PC World and Currys in the UK, and both reckon that it'll be "another week or two" before stock is replenished. <p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/11/19/advent-vega-goes-on-sale-in-the-uk-promptly-sells-out/">Advent Vega goes on sale in the UK, promptly sells out</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Fri, 19 Nov 2010 12:58:00 EST.

Both Toshiba and Amazon list the Windows 7-running <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/01/toshiba-libretto-w100-preview/">Libretto W100</a> as out of stock at the moment. Now, of course, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/21/toshiba-libretto-w100-resurrects-the-classic-umpc-brand-with-dua/">Tosh has always said</a> the W100 was going to be available on a limited basis so there's no telling how many of these were actually sold, but it certainly seems impressive for a very niche gadget. We've reached out to Toshiba to ask if they plan on refreshing the depleted stock and for a bit of information on how many they had boxed up to begin with -- stay tuned, we'll let you know what we hear. <br />

Gone so soon, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/Kindle/">Kindle</a>? Due to what we can only assume is unprecedented demand or a terrible shortfall in supply, Amazon's third-generation Kindle (you know, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/28/new-amazon-kindle-announced-139-wifi-only-version-and-189-3g/">the one with 3G and WiFi</a>) is already sold out. Just days after being pushed into the world, the $189 e-reader is now hoisting a "temporarily sold out" sign, with Bezos and Company urging prospective consumers to place their order now in order to "reserve a place in line." So, what'll it be? Reserve now, or throw a temper tantrum? Tough call, we know.<br />

Google <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/16/google-halting-nexus-one-sales-through-official-store-after-curr/">warned us</a> that the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/NexusOne/">Nexus One</a> was approaching the end of its days, but we've gotta admit, we didn't realize just how quickly that moment would come. Sure enough, Google's official online store for the phone now just shows an ominous message that "the Nexus One is no longer available for purchase directly" from the company, which means you're going to have to go through Vodafone, KT in South Korea, or hold out for the units that they plan on selling directly to registered developers. Needless to say, for the bulk of potential customers, the phone is all but history. So, on that note, Nexus One: for your straight-shooting stock Android ways and your unlocked radio, you'll be dearly missed -- and we hope your legacy lives on, even though your retail model does not.<br />

Verizon told CNET the company had "done everything possible" to ensure adequate supply of the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/DroidX/">Droid X</a>, but there's apparently no anticipating the demand for a top-tier smartphone -- <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/26/droid-incredible-confirmed-to-be-suffering-from-amoled-shortage/">like the Droid Incredible</a> before it, the giant 1GHz Motorola handset is already out of stock, both online (today's orders suffer a ten-day delay) and in many brick and mortar stores. Verizon confirmed the shortages in a communique to <em>Android Central</em>, saying the company was pleased with initial sales, and that though they were "successful at keeping up with early demand" supplies are presently "low or out." Tomorrow's just not going to work out, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/14/motorola-droid-x-gets-cinematic-tomorrow-trailer-video/">our anti-gravitational friend</a> -- can we take a July 27th raincheck?<br />

Unless you're in the music biz, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/sold%20out">selling out</a> is generally considered a good thing just as long as you can restock, pronto like, to meet consumer demand. So we're sure Mary Lou Jepsen is roiling in her jollies knowing that the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/01/pixelqi-diy-netbook-display-replacement-kit-finally-on-sale/">first batch</a> of $275 dual-mode <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/pixel%20qi">Pixel Qi</a> displays have sold out after less than 24 hours of retail availability. You can pre-order now for a second shipment of the 10.1-inch reflective LCDs expected to arrive on <em>MakerShed</em> by the middle of next week. Until then, we patiently wait for the first-hand DIY experiences to begin trickling in.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/pixel-qi-dual-mode-displays-sell-out-in-a-good-way/">Pixel Qi dual-mode displays sell out, in a good way</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Fri, 02 Jul 2010 04:10:00 EST.

It's <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/08/htc-evo-4g-sold-out-pretty-much-everywhere/">happened before</a>, and it's happening again: the <a href="http://engadget.com/tag/evo4g">EVO 4G's</a> getting hard to find. We're sure you'd be able to track it down locally, but the option that requires the least dreadful physical movement -- ordering online -- isn't an option for now, with Sprint saying "this device is so hot we can't keep it on our virtual shelves." We imagine the situation will clear itself up shortly, but it makes you wonder -- could the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/18/htc-has-fix-in-the-works-for-evo-4g-screen-sensitivity-separati/">screen separation fix on the assembly line</a> be the culprit behind the shortage?<br />

We have no idea how this happened given the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/iphone-4-pre-orderers-overwhelm-servers-world-on-the-brink-of-e/">insane problems</a> Apple and AT&amp;T have had processing iPhone 4 pre-orders today, but lots of people (including us) are seeing a July 2 ship date at Apple's online store, or about a week after the next-gen iPhone launches on June 24. Frankly, that's amazing -- we can only imagine the kind of sustained rush it took to cause a sellout of a product virtually no one was <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/apple-gives-up-with-online-pre-order-insanity-suggests-you-head/">actually able to order</a>. So that's Apple and <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/atandt-sold-out-of-iphone-4-for-launch-day/">AT&amp;T both sold out</a> -- at this point it's looking like standing in line somewhere come launch day is going to be your best bet, but we'll let you know if we hear any better news.<br />

It's being widely reported that the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/product/htc-evo-4g-supersonic">HTC EVO 4G</a> is sold out all over the US -- at brick and mortars and online. And while we can't 100 percent certain that Sprint doesn't have a few hidden away in some of the less traversed pockets of this great land, the fact that they're selling out shouldn't come as a huge shocker. The phone overtook the Palm Pre to become Sprint's <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/htc-evo-4g-overtakes-palm-pre-for-best-selling-launch-day-on-spr/">best-selling launch day ever</a>, though we don't have an actual number of units moved. Be sure to let us know in comments if your local store has any left -- we'll be sure to stampede over there.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/08/htc-evo-4g-sold-out-pretty-much-everywhere/">HTC EVO 4G sold out pretty much everywhere</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Tue, 08 Jun 2010 16:08:00 EST.

Often companies will claim a "<a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/soldout">sellout</a>" in order to hype incredible demand for its product. However, these claims are pointless without any firm numbers -- after all, there's a big difference between moving 100 and 100,000 units. Now we're getting word from Japan that the heavily discounted Windows 7 upgrades that <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/26/windows-7-pre-orders-begin-now/">went up for pre-order on Friday</a> are sold-out. While no numbers are given, the 17 retailers involved in the pre-order sales, who presumably have no vested interest in trying to inflate perceptions on behalf of Microsoft, report sales as "considerable" and taking only 1.5 days (of the 10 days planned) to burn though the alloted inventory. A quick check on Amazon US and Canada shows the same pre-order prices we saw Friday. Still, it might be wise to take notice of the "while supplies last" disclaimer if you haven't already.<br /><br /><strong>Update</strong>: <a href="http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;langpair=ja|en&amp;u=http://japanese.engadget.com/2009/06/29/windows-7-2/"><em>Engadget Japanese</em></a> tells us that the 30,000 copies were sold according to Microsoft.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/29/windows-7-pre-orders-sell-out-in-japan/">Windows 7 pre-orders sell-out in Japan</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Mon, 29 Jun 2009 03:07:00 EST.

AT&amp;T customers who do already have pre-orders in still have to line up at 7AM to nab a phone, but at least they've got a guaranteed slot if they show up, while the rest of the world will have to battle over remaining stock when Apple Stores open at 8AM and AT&amp;T stores open to general customers at the same time. Looks like we might get a good riot or two out of this.<br /> <strong><br /> Update:</strong> AT&amp;T just pinged us to clarify that it's still accepting pre-orders, but not for delivery on the 19th, and online pre-orders will be shipped directly to your home, so you actually don't have to hit up a store at all.

What's it all mean? It means that someone at T-Mobile and Google are sitting in a fancy restaurant in France sipping on the good stuff, and it also means that 1.5 million G1s have already been reserved for eager early adopters. In addition to that, another couple of million are all set to take the retail scene by storm later this month.

Was it 100 or 100,000 units sold? Nevertheless, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/bug%20labs">Bug Labs</a> has depleted its initial stock of Bugs. Those of you looking to get your hands on the open-source, modular hardware platform will have to wait until the next shipment in May. While most of the purchases went the way of tinkerers, about a third of the devices were surprisingly scooped up by corporations looking at Bug to possibly replace expensive, custom devices. At least that's how Bug Labs' founder, Peter Semmelhack spins it. Could be, or perhaps it's just the same compelling curiosity we all feel about Bug with a desire (read: R&amp;D budget) to keep abreast of industry change? Regardless, good on ya Pete.<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/gadgets/" rel="tag">Misc.

Sure, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/12/phillipe-starck-calls-the-kindle-a-little-sad/">Philippe Starck</a> may not care for the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/Kindle/">Kindle</a>, but an open letter posted on Amazon's front page suggests he's in the minority. We already knew that the company was having a <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/01/jeff-bezos-says-kindle-is-outpacing-our-expectations/">difficult time</a> filling orders, but we had no idea the wait for buyers would warrant what amounts to a public apology from Jeff Bezos. Apparently, the online superstore is drawing heat for six-week delays on delivery for some customers, and is scrambling to get itself into an "order today, ship today" scheme. The original release of the device sold out in just 5 1/2 hours says the letter, which might explain why <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/28/why-hasnt-anyone-hacked-the-kindle/">no one is hacking it</a> -- no one <em>has</em> it.<br /><br />[Thanks, Michael]<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/handhelds/" rel="tag">Handhelds</a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/20/jeff-bezos-posts-kindle-apology-on-amazons-front-page/">Jeff Bezos posts Kindle apology on Amazon's front page</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Thu, 20 Mar 2008 11:35:00 EST.

It's hard to tell whether the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/MacBookAir/">MacBook Air</a> is selling way beyond Apple's regular expectations or whether they just didn't make that many units (there's a difference, after all), but as Ars Technica points out, a cursory glance to Apple's MBA stock-checker shows the majority of Apple stores are plum out. Of course, the Cube sold pretty well in the early days too, only time will tell whether the machine actually has staying power. Something tells us Steve will have a thing or two to say about the Air's sales <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/27/apple-event-confirmed-for-march-6th/">later this week</a>, though.<br /><br /><a href="http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20080302-macbook-air-aflutter-demand-stays-strong-sold-out-often.html">Read</a> - Ars points out the MBAs are oft sold out<br /><a href="http://www.apple.com/retail/macbookair/">Read</a> - MacBook Air retail stock-checke<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/laptops/" rel="tag">Laptops</a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/macbook-air-selling-out-left-and-right/">MacBook Air selling out left and right?</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Mon, 03 Mar 2008 03:14:00 EST.

This one's just hitting the wires folks, but apparently, Nintendo has established an official raincheck program to somewhat alleviate the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/08/wii-demand-has-nintendo-reconsidering-its-advertising-plans/">Wii shortage</a> frustrations that are sure to <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/12/nintendo-planning-to-milk-its-wii-shortage-through-the-holidays/">overwhelm</a> those scouting one for the holidays. Details are scant at the moment, but we do know that Nintendo of America will be partnering with GameStop to allow patient buyers to fork out $249 up front in exchange for a guaranteed Wii "by the end of January." We aren't told whether or not the program is effective immediately, but we'd certainly assume it is.<br /><br /><strong>Update</strong>: We're hearing the program actually won't go into effect until next Friday. We'll keep you posted on anything official.<br /><br />[Via <a href="http://www.switched.com/2007/12/14/breaking-nintendo-to-offer-wii-raincheck-program-even-for-out/">Switched</a>]<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/gaming/" rel="tag">Gaming</a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/14/nintendo-establishes-official-raincheck-program-for-wii/">Nintendo establishes official raincheck program for Wii</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Fri, 14 Dec 2007 11:58:00 EST.

Regrettably, we've no idea how long it'll be before the next batch hatches, but if yours is currently on backorder, give us a heads-up when the line starts rolling again, wouldya?<br /><br />[Thanks, Robert]<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/robots/" rel="tag">Robots</a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/27/ugobes-pleo-stock-all-dried-up/">UGOBE's Pleo stock all dried up</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Fri, 27 Jul 2007 02:18:00 EST.

Nintendo's <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/wii">Wii</a> isn't <em>that </em>likely (right?) to be sold out everywhere come launch week, but for those who don't enjoy pressing their luck (or <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/02/japanese-gamers-wait-in-line-for-ds-lite/">camping out</a> in the cold), American GameStop's are indeed accepting pre-orders starting tomorrow, while Canadian venues start October 16th. We had <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/11/wii-pre-orders-at-gamestop-eb-begin-this-friday/">good suspicion</a> that things would pan out this way, and our pals at Joystiq are now reporting that GameStop newsletter subscribers have just received official word that $50 will quasi-guarantee you a shiny white box come launch day -- but only one unit per "household" can supposedly be claimed, and the company even warns that allocations are likely to vanish "within minutes." We weren't counting on this year's "<a href="http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/14/nintendo-wii-the-wee-little-things/">budget console</a>" playing hard to get, but if all these sudden reports of imminent scarcity are eventually proven accurate, maybe getting your name on that list wouldn't be such a bad idea after all. <br /><br />[Via <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2006/10/12/gamestop-wii-pre-order-confirmed-for-tomorrow/">Joystiq</a>, thanks to everyone who sent this in]<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/gaming/" rel="tag">Gaming</a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/12/gamestop-eb-accepting-nintendo-wii-pre-orders-tomorrow/">GameStop/EB accepting Nintendo Wii pre-orders tomorrow</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Thu, 12 Oct 2006 15:05:00 EST.
