TouchPad deals amazon

HP’s Website, along with Amazon, continues to sell the HP TouchPad, despite announcing the tablet’s ignoble death.
Hewlett-Packard’s Website is still selling the HP TouchPad, the webOS tablet it has condemned to history’s dustbin of dead tech.

Those interested in purchasing a piece of future geek trivia can find the 16GB and 32GB versions on amazon shopping page for $320.99 and $399.99, respectively. Another HP page sings the virtues of webOS, complete with text claiming it’s “the smartest OS ever created.” For the moment, the tablet is also available on Amazon.
THE much awaited HP TouchPad tablet was withdrawn from the Australian market today just 4 days after its launch, making it one of the shortest-lived electronics products in Australian history.
Retailer Harvey Norman, which sold the HP TouchPad tablet exclusively, said it had instructed franchises to remove all stocks from shelves and to contact customers who had bought it and offer them a full refund or credit for another purchase.
The HP TouchPad’s dramatic demise in Australia is the result of HP’s decision in the United States yesterday to axe it and smartphones powered by its in-house webOS mobile operating system, after astonishingly poor sales since its United States launch in July.
The problem for the Palo Alto, California-based tech company was that webOS was neither Apple nor Android. It was a mobile operating system HP acquired when it bought smartphone manufacturer Palm for $1.2 billion last year.
With relatively few apps available for download, and several exhibiting serious bugs, many commentators believed the HP TouchPad was doomed from the start.

The HP TouchPad has had a bit of a rocky ride since its launch back at the beginning of July, with lukewarm reviews and a number of price cuts designed to trigger sales of the tablet. Despite the drop in price, it seems that HP is having quite a bit of trouble moving the TouchPad at retail, as All Things D is reporting that Best Buy is still sitting on over 90 percent of its original stock of the tablet.
According to All Things D's sources, Best Buy has only sold 25,000 of the 270,000 TouchPad tablets that it ordered from HP, and it wants to send the bulk of the remainder back to HP for credit. This is even after HP dropped the price of the TouchPad $100 last week to $399 for the 16GB version and $499 for the 32GB version. Other sources say that the 25,000 figure might even be a bit generous, as it may not account for TouchPads that have been returned by customers.
Analysts have also said that other retailers are having difficulty moving the troubled tablet, with reports that customers are waiting to see if HP will drop the price on it even further. HP will release its quarterly earnings report today, and it may pull a Samsung and not reveal any information regarding TouchPad sales figures. It would be wise of it, though, to quash these reports with some sort of good news. A proper Pre 3 launch in the U.S., maybe?  Search Amazon.com for HP TouchPad tablet
