Hewlett-Packard's TouchPad tablet Best Buy



Hewlett-Packard's new innovative TouchPad tablet due to his price and  features has emerged as  an instant hit at Best Buy and Amazon despite being discontinued in the wake of Hewlett-Packard''s shuttering of its WebOS device business. And HP is responding by shipping more from its warehouses now a days.

It's all about amaging price that given by HP to this product. On Friday, the company slashed the price to $100 from $399 for the 16GB model and to $150 from $499 for the 32GB version. This ignited a buying frenzy and the tablet subsequently flew off the shelves and out of the warehouses, selling out at many locations over the weekend.

Select Best Buy stores added further energy to the fire by deciding at the last minute Saturday night to unload their inventory at the discounted prices on Sunday, instead of sending unsold stock back to HP.

All of this has driven the HP TouchPad to the top of best-seller lists at Best Buy and Amazon.

And HP is agressive by releasing more TouchPads in coming days, according to a tweet from HP's Bryna Corcoran. "Regarding 'next batch' coming in...it's called a warehouse. No more being made, but have inventory coming from ones already manufactured."

HP Touch pad still available at some online resellers at prices that are closer to the pre-fire-sale pricing. This list of resellers on Amazon's site claiming that they  have stock, with prices ranging from $300 to over $500.
Calls to two Best Buy stores in California and one in Pennsylvania also saying that two of the stores had lines outside before the stores opened on Sunday.
