HP did not hurt tablet pricing... once they are gone, they are gone. 6 months from now the market will have moved on with no real impact.
Amazon would sell cheap to get buyers into their ecosystem.

There will be an impact, because there'll be tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of consumers removed from the tablet buying pool.
