What do you plan for your $99.99 HP TouchPad?

by Doc Searls
on August 21, 2011

So BestBuy is having a fire sale on HP TouchPads, which HP is discontinuing, along with it's entire PC division: 16Gb units for $99.99 and 32Gb units for $149.99. Follow those links and you'll find both are already sold out online. (More at their FAQ.) But BestBuy won't be alone in this game. Tablets 4 Geeks just got real cheap, real fast. Get one for half your basic ATM withdrawal.

Next question: What will you do with it? Leave WebOS on it, or — what?
