For those who want details, apparently it is at all these places:

Best Buy, Future Shop, The Source, London Drugs, and Staples in Canada will be selling the 16GB TouchPad for $199, and the 32GB version for $149 starting August 20, online and in store.

Actually, that's $99 for 16 GB model and $149 for the 32 GB. That's an astoundingly cheap price even for an ereader.

Tubemonkey is always saying that tablets are overpriced. Maybe this is the chance for him to get one.

From what I've heard, they're only out of the consumer business, but will stick to the way bigger and more profitable B2B division/product lines.
Not that uncommon, Fujutsu made this move 2 years ago.

...and quite successfully. Their figures (revenue, profit, growth, ...) are excellent again.

We are leaving the PSG business but not software and webOs is software. if we are going to license webOs, sell it or what, still is not clear.

PSG was a very small area for HP. And like I said on another post, HP is not just a consumer product company like Apple. We sell very good servers that serve as great hardware platform for several database engines, including Oracle. Apple has a small division of servers but no ones use those a high scale level.

Nice move by Best Buy:

Quote:
What should I do if I purchased the HP TouchPad outside of the 14-day return policy and would like to return it?

Best Buy is extending its return/exchange policy on the HP TouchPad and all HP TouchPad accessories to 60 days. Come into a Best Buy store and we will help you find another tablet to fit your needs or issue you a refund.
Basically covers every Touchpad they sold, since they went on sale July 1st.

Seems like Best Buy and Costco shipped back their Touchpads to HP. I expect we'll see more in stock on HP website in the coming days.

Hmm. Didn't think of that. Only bought two (for myself and my brother). Oh well, when I bought, only 32GB was available and those exceed my individual gifting budget. I think I'll grab a few 16GB models on Monday. HP's bound to have more available once they receive all the surplus from Best Buy.
