HP To Revive The $99 TouchPad Firesale! (Sort Of)

Get your clicking fingers ready! These boys are going to go fast. Starting Sunday, December 11th at 6:00 p.m. Central time, 16GB and 32GB Touchpads will be available on HP?s ebay store. Look for them in the laptop section. As you would expect, there are some caveats with this deal. Chief among them are these are refurbished models.

The refurbished 16GB and 32GB models will be available in an unannounced quantity. Sales will be limited to just two SKUs per ebay member and PayPal must be used to complete the transaction. All sales are final and the product only comes with a 90-day warranty. HP wants these things gone.

This might conclude the TouchPad?s sad story. The product was pulled after just two and a half months on the market. HP quickly turned around and sold most of the available inventory while promising more were on their way. This supply slowly appeared at retailers but were only available with the purchase of an HP computer. But with this sale, HP is making good on its promise and likely closing the book on the TouchPad. Its development will likely be in just the hands of the TouchPad?s capable fanbase.

Good night, sweet TouchPad.

It's a bit better than the sale thing bestbuy was having.... where you could get a new TouchPad for $99 BUT you have to buy an HP notebook :x
