HP Tablet Touchpad Drop To $ 99, Selling Just Started Breaking
Hewlett-Packard has thrown in the towel last week announced it would stop Touchpad HP tablet after only seven weeks in this market. Av. The conventional wisdom after the news saying, "Stay away from the TouchPad" App Developers ignore. HP will likely cease to support it. And at $ 400 or $ 500, the touchpad hard sell from the IPAD and Android tablets. Unless you are a collector of curiosities tech, simply disappear.
HP apparently heard the crowd and acted quickly. Instead of tablets in the desert to bury ET Atari style, HP has announced a fire sale this weekend. Website of the companies listed on the 16 GB model for $ 100 and 32 gigabyte version is $ 150. The plan worked.

"Due to the significant reduction in prices, we had a huge demand for the product and are temporarily out of inventory," said HP's site on Monday morning. "Please enter your email address below to be informed as soon as we have them in stock again."
Retailers have followed suit, ready to empty their warehouses before everyone forgets the touchpad. According slickdeals.net, hunters were very fast and furious.
Treatment of Amazon Lightning 16 GB model is sold in 25 minutes. The 32 GB left for 4 minutes.
Fry: Sold out. J & R: Sold out. Micro Center: Sold out. Office Max: Sold out. Radio Shack: Sold out. Sam's Club sold. Objective: Sold out.
Wal-Mart is sold online, but in some places still allow for the collection in stores (at least for now.)
So, this swell of interest to revive the HP tablet? Unlikely. Production iSuppli experts estimate that the share of the touchpad to pay $ 306. Tack on the cost of design, planning, navigation, support and recruiting Russell Brand to do the marketing. The sale of a sudden he tried to stop a problem worst, will not turn bad situation good.
But here's a better question: This is a swelling of interest to revive WebOS? Remember, the moments before the end of the touchpad and all other HP devices WebOS, Stephen DeWitt, WebOS HP Director, said the company was very interested in licensing the operating system for cars and kitchen appliances.
"We seek to broaden the base and bring to a community ecosystem that inspires webOS developers out there," Mr. DeWitt told the Wall Street Journal in an article on August 16. (Interrupted HP Touchpad August 18.)
It is possible that DeWitt was simply out of touch, did not know HP plans to cut its budget dramatically this week when he spoke to the magazine. HP is also possible that truly intends to keep alive webOS, but living in the material of others. This weekend proved to be popular webOS if the price is right.
