HP recently slashed the price of its TouchPad to $99 from $399 and $499 after only six weeks on the market, when the company decided to do a drastic shift of their own business. While the webOS tablet is likely finished in the long run, HP announced that high demand for the device in its cheaper form has pushed them to do another production run.
“Despite announcing an end to manufacturing webOS hardware, we have decided to produce one last run of TouchPads to meet unfulfilled demand,” said Mark Budgell, Social Media Strategist for HP PR. “We don’t know exactly when these units will be available or how many we’ll get, and we can’t promise we’ll have enough for everyone. We do know that it will be at least a few weeks before you can purchase.”
