HP TouchPad for $101

[pokerstar629]

Not sure if I'm putting this in the right section.

Barnes and Noble is selling the HP TouchPad for $101 before tax and shipping. This is the 16gig version and it looks like an iPad. I ordered 3 just in case my friends need them. They are selling pretty quick as HP is getting out of the consumer business and liquidating all TouchPads. If you would like to purchase one, click on the link below. TSPTalk should look pretty sweet on my new tablet when it arrives......

No problem, Target, Amazon, Walmart, and Bestbuy had them for a short period before they sold out.

For $100, if it ships, you can't go wrong. If nothing else, it will make a nice place mat.

i wouldnt buy this guys, this is a horrible tablet, theres a reason why they are so cheap and HP discontinue after 3-4 month of release.

It can't be any worse than this stoopid Pandigital Novel I've been trying to use.

There are mixed reviews for this tablet. Some good features and some not so good. It's certainly not an Apple Ipad II. At $599 I would not buy it, but at $99, it seems like a pretty good deal to me.

OUT OF STOCK

Congrats to those who got one - and thanks pokerstar629 for the heads up! Maybe we need a thread or sub-forum for just this type of thing in the future.

Hewlett-Packard (NYSE: HPQ - News) Co.'s decision to drop the price to as low as $99 for its TouchPad tablets touched off a weekend buying rush that the company called "overwhelming."

The sudden interest came after H-P said it was discontinuing its tablet and smartphone efforts, after disappointing sales and unfavorable comparisons to Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL - News) Inc.'s iPad and iPhone. H-P cut the price of its least-expensive TouchPad to $99.99 from $499.99. The price on a greater-capacity version was reduced to $149.99 from $599.99.

Me too. I thought I had two of them.

 

[pokerstar629]

They cancelled my order also but I managed to purchase one from Bestbuys the day before. If you really want one, check the link below periodically for updates on which store has inventory. Good luck to all who want it and I hope I'm not wasting anyones time.

You guys need to get an iPad when the next upgrade comes. It's worth the extra money. But, wait till October os so when the new one come out.

I bought the first version. I use it way more than my laptop. I still need the laptop for some functions.

I believe most tablets run about $500 don' t they ? The iPad pricing is one of it's plusses. I don't think it's overrated.

I have an android phone and like it, so maybe a good tablet running android would be good. Apple just has the edge IMO
I don't like the small tablets either. They need to be big enough to set themselves apart from smartphones.
