HP Reviving the $99 Touch Pad On December 11th

Posted by timothy on from the this-too-shall-pass dept.

Frankie70 writes "Starting Sunday, December 11th at 6:00 p.m. Central time, 16GB and 32GB Touchpads will be available on HP's ebay store. A $79 accessory bundle will also be available, which includes a case, charging dock and wireless keyboard. The caveat with this deal is that these are refurbished TouchPads rather than the brand new models sold during the first firesale."

    Yeah, considering that the TouchPad has a $318 BOM, it makes total sense to sell a bunch at a $219 loss, then sell more next year at a mere $179 loss. Profits can't be far behind using that strategy.

    .This opens up the Touchpad to the Andriod marketplace and makes it a cheap modern table.

    So... they will soon be for sale at Ikea?
