mase123987 I was up early this AM checking too and it wasn't there but it is now:
Touch Screen Laptops, desktops, tablets | Dell . However it doesn't appear the red version is available at this time. The customer service rep I spoke to also indicated that the 64gb version wasn't available, but it is - just shipping November 1 instead of October 28 (32 GB ship date). Also, the version with the case and stylus is shipping November 8th. I'm trying to figure out whether or not the micro usb can output video via a cable/adapter. I've read about MHL and IntelliLink but this rep makes it seem as though the only way to output video is through a wireless adapter. Full exchange below. Thoughts? I seem to remember there being supply/fulfillment issues with Dell Venue phone; hope this isn't a repeat of that...

9:49:46 AM Joel A Hi Me may I know how can I help you today?
9:50:15 AM Me Hi Joel! I'm trying to order the Venue 8 Pro Win 8 tablet, but I don't see a 64gb or red option. Are those available?
9:50:31 AM Joel A Sorry about that but I would be happy to help you with that.
9:50:46 AM Joel A Let me see if we have a red color for that tablet.
9:51:24 AM Me yes, the product preview page up earlier this am indicated it owuld come in red
9:52:46 AM Joel A I apologize but at the moment what we have is a black Venue 8 Pro Win 8 tablet, we don't have a red one yet.
9:53:15 AM Me when will the red be available? and is there a 64 gb version of the black?
9:53:51 AM Joel A I cannot guarantee when but since it was advertised that it is an option then for sure it will be offered soon, we have no update when that will be available though.
9:54:32 AM Me ok, and is there a 64 gb version of the black available today?
9:55:06 AM Joel A Only 32GB storage .
9:55:35 AM Me ok, when the 54gb version be available, as that variant was advertised too
9:55:54 AM Me when will the 64gb version be available (typing too fast)
9:56:22 AM Joel A I am sorry but we cannot guarantee, it will be shown online once available. Hopefully soon.
10:05:51 AM Joel A Shall we help you with your purchase on that today or you will just do that online?
10:07:39 AM Me i'm debating if i should hold out for the 64 gb, i want to make sure i have enough storage!! also, one more question, i know it doesn't have hdmi out, so what cable would i need to connect the venue 8 pro to my tv or pc monitor (hdmi inputs)?
10:09:36 AM Joel A Checking..
10:11:04 AM Me oh the 64 gb is available to order on the page you sent me,it just has a later ship date. yay!
10:12:46 AM Joel A One more moment.
10:13:21 AM Joel A You will need to get this Netgear Push2TV Wireless Display Adapter .
10:14:26 AM Me hmmm, there?s no way to use a cable? i travel a lot and want to be able to use a cable (the wireless option is nice to have also)
10:15:16 AM Joel A Sorry but no.
10:17:23 AM Me hmmm, ok. i was under the impression that there are usb to hdmi cables but i'll take your word for it. that's a dealbreaker, so i won't be ordering. thanks for your help!
