HP tablet ...
They had a page to sign up for the low price when they got more stock a week ago, but took it down.
Last night on the news they said HP was so impressed with the volume of sales at the reduced price that they were manufacturing one more round of the touchpad. This would indicate they are breaking even or making a profit at the reduced price. Be interesting to see if they have a new round. |

Holy Toledo! Imagine what they would have made if it had sold well at the original price!

The sale and all the media buzz it made was also a gigantic publicity for HP that would have cost a lot more too; That's why they might make another round, even if the component costs is around 300$, the 99$ sale is hceaper than a advertisement campaign! |
