Shoppers Scramble for Discounted HP TouchPads
$99 tablets sold out over the weekend
Following Hewlett-Packard’s announcement last week that it’s ditching its tablet and smartphone efforts, sales of the company’s TouchPad have gone through the roof—thanks to a massively discounted price tag.
In order to get rid of remaining inventory, HP cut the price of its cheapest TouchPad from $499.99 to $99.99, while a full-featured version was reduced from $599.99 to $149.99.
News of the price cuts blew up online, with bloggers publishing rolling lists of which retailers still had the clearance-priced tablets in stock.
