Thanks for making this topic, today I heard of the price drop and was unable to get one because I kept seeing them for 350. Ordering 2 now, hopefully it's as good as the reviews said it is.

EDIT: Thank you, your order has been placed. *dances*

The reason the touchpad is so cheap is that HP announced last week that it's pulling out of the WebOS business. They also intend to spin off their PC business (however they're going to do that). Therefore the touchpad and WebOS phones would not be made by them anymore or ever again. Basically a fire sale is going on where ever their products are still being sold.

Lack of any future manufacturer support or updates may not matter as we probably wouldn't have access to their official support down here anyway. So the touchpad may not be a waste of money. After all it's US$99. Some developers may decide to bring out updates themselves, never know.

A similarly bright volume rocker lies just around the corner, and if you move further down the right edge you'll find a little blanked-out spot that could make room for a SIM in future iterations.

I guess HP had other plans

Not that I care but, you can't take pictures with this tablet? WTF?
The camera is only for ooVoo etc.

@nemisis the second video on that page was funny

[M_2NR]

OOS probably temporarily... hopefully all gone

check precentral.net.i have like one of the only palm pre in trinidad.they are a loyal bunch but HP real kill off things today for tomorrow but for 100us it is a decent price.kindle app on the touchpad still suspect but the homebrewers are real active so it is worth a try but most of the 100us ones are more or less finished at best buy and other companies

From amazon

$100 can get you little in terms of electronics. The screen itself on this device is an estimated about $90. Even if you don't want it. 1) Sell it. 2) Easy present right here. 3) Take it apart and try to use the hardware. 1.2 ghz duo core processor, 9.7 inch screen, 1 gb ram, 16 gb sd memory, wall charger, usb cable, wi-fi chip, camera, microphone, buttons, and more.

Want to keep it? Well............

Watch TV on it
Watch videos
Go on the internet
Listen to music
Use it as a monitor
Use it to check the weather
Use it as a clock
Use it as a surveillance camera monitor
Use it as a tv
Use it as calendar
Use it as a schedule keeper
Use it as a note keeper
Use it as an alarm
Use it as a radio
Use it as a coaster
Use it as a poster
Use it as a food tray
Use it for no reason
Use it when it's dark out
Use it with a fork out
Use it as a GPS
Use it as a private jet
Use it to watch porn
Use it in your dorm
Use it like it's cool
Use it like a fool
Use it like it's hot
Use it like it's not
Well why not?

In nod to IBM, HP overhaul minimizes consumers



Hewlett-Packard's decision to surrender in smartphones and tablet computers and possibly get rid of its personal computer business underscores how Apple has transformed consumer electronics in just four years.

HP's new CEO Leo Apotheker is now trying to turn the Silicon Valley stalwart into a twin of East Coast archrival IBM Corp. In doing so, he is acknowledging that his company has failed to balance the demands of both the consumer and corporate markets. As a result, it needs to exit most of its consumer businesses, just as IBM did six years ago.

Apple is the hottest consumer electronics company on the planet. The iPhone's debut in 2007 brought ease of use and an intuitive design unmatched by predecessors, including smartphone pioneer Palm, which HP bought last year in hopes of getting a foothold in mobile devices. Apple followed in 2010 with the iPad tablet computer and managed to persuade people to buy a product they never knew they needed.

Rather than remain locked in a futile fight with a company that seems to have found the magic touch on making hit consumer products, HP is whittling its competition to the other business technology specialists -- namely, IBM, Oracle Corp. and Cisco Systems Inc.

HP's effort to jettison its PC business is another concession to Apple's increasing dominance of consumer electronics, said Shaw Wu, an analyst with Sterne Agee. The PC division also had become a drag on HP's stock even though it still accounts for about 15 percent of the company's earnings, Wu said.
