HP TouchPad gets Android port and final production run |
| 09-01-2011 |
Hewlett-Packard's TouchPad apparently isn't as dead as everyone thought. When HP killed its tablet earlier this month, slashing the price by hundreds of dollars in a bid to clear inventory, a funny thing happened: Thousands of people rushed to stores and online to snatch up a high-end device for a steal.
"Despite announcing an end to manufacturing webOS hardware, HP have decided to produce one last run of TouchPads to meet unfulfilled demand," Mark Budgell, an HP spokesperson, wrote in a corporate blog posting Aug. 30. "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."
The tablets are likely to be available sometime in the next few weeks, although Budgell declined to offer any information on an exact release date or pricing. HP still intends to shut down development and production of devices that run its Linux-based WebOS devices, which include the company's "Pre" smartphone line in addition to the TouchPad. |
