HP announced a couple of days ago that they were going to discontinue their “TouchPad” tablet. They decided to clear inventory by reducing the price to $100 for the 16GB, or $150 for the 32GB version. The web and retail stores immediately were hit by a buying frenzy that is still going on.<\/p>\n
Most of the stores are sold out, but you can still find them online. I bought three — one for me and one for each of my kids. I bought the first two directly from HP last night — their server was so overloaded that it took me about 2 hours before I could finally get to the confirmation page. I got the third this afternoon from Amazon. They are now sold out, but Barnes and Noble<\/a> still has a few.<\/p>\n They are not quite as cool as the Apple iPad, which is why they weren’t selling well at $400 and $500. But at $100 and $150, they are a great deal.<\/p>\n They won’t get here for several days. I’ll post my review here after it arrives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" HP announced a couple of days ago that they were going to discontinue their “TouchPad” tablet.
