HP touchpad, yes the ones with WebOS which was just dropped by HP is going on sale tomorrow (8/20) for $99 for the 16GB and $150 for the 32GB version, this is a one time only price and will end once supplies are out. HP reps have been reported as saying it will start at 7AM EST. Bestbuy Canada already has this price for you northern folk.


Current way to get it to work

ps. I don't know what the magic juju is with the above links that makes them work. All I know is they were posted on Slickdeals, I clicked them, it worked, and I bought a Touchpad for $85.

Thanks Adam8281!


UPDATE: both the 32GB and 16GB are now OOS from HP, however there are reports of B&M stores going live with this price tomorrow morning however YMMV

Update 2: Live for 129.99 and 149.99 at officedepot.
IN STOCK AS OF 4:05AM EST.
Office Depot is now OOS as of 4:55AM EST.

Update 3: walmart pricing is up, in store pickup ONLY!!! hurry now.

For anyone still looking for a 100 dollar tablet, i suggest going to the HP site and printing out a screenshot with the $99.99 price for your local Fry's (who do internet price matching now) but as always YMMV
Current rumor is fry's are shipping their stock back to HP and will not sell to anyone.

Add the HP TouchPad Case and then use coupon code SAVE30HP to get the 32gig touchpad and case for $155.78

HP should have sold these units for $99 and $149, they would have done much better. At least walk Apple up and have them drop price on the overpriced ipad.

Tablet victim of major restructuring

19 August 2011
HP Touchpad

Technology giant HP has announced major plans to restructure the company, discontinuing its months-old tablet product and mobile phone lines and selling-off its personal computer business.

The HP TouchPad, which only went on sale in June, is the most high-profile casualty of the HP's decision.

Developed after HP's $1.2 billion purchase of Palm and its critically acclaimed webOS operating system, the HP TouchPad has struggled in spite of a multi-million dollar marketing campaign to promote its launch.

Maybe the deal is dead? I've tried the link without logging in & I tried creating an account with an old .edu address and I'm still seeing the original retail price.

Heads up - HP IS selling the 16GB touchpad on their phone sales for $99 - BUT, you will be charged $400 and receive a refund for the difference 5-7 business days after it ships.

I said nah. I already have an iPad 2, and will try my luck with all the stores in my area.

it seems it is hit and miss, if it doesnt work clear browser cookies and cache then close the browser reopen and try the link then, or try a different browser.

Interestingly Amazon had these two as part of their Back To School 20% promotion, but now they are both delisted. You can still find them at regular price on Amazon, but not part of the BTS promotion. I wonder if that's a sign that they are going to be discounted tomorrow as the OP stated.

I just bought it 5 minutes ago, for $85 ($15 came off with the coupon save15HP). Here's the trick:
Log into HP either via an academic login or EPP
Then INSTEAD OF SEARCHING THE HP WEBSITE, click one of these 2 links:
16GB
32 GB
Add to cart and buy

When I just searched the HP website for the Touchpad (even while logged in with EPP or academic), it didn't return results with the low price. However, when I used the above links AFTER ALREADY BEING LOGGED IN TO EPP, then I got the $99 price.

ps. I don't know what the magic juju is with the above links that makes them work. All I know is they were posted on Slickdeals, I clicked them, it worked, and I bought a Touchpad for $85.

From VoodooVyper View Post :
There's a trick to it.
Enter your EPP site/HP Academy.
Click tablets will show original price... instead, click the HP logo at top left, it'll bring you to the main intro site.
From there, click Shop for Products and services and follow the tablet trail, and you will see the adjusted prices.
This Actually Works!!

Enjoy!
