$99 HP Touchpad Sale: Thousands of New Units to Arrive Soon

About 200,000 HP TouchPad tablets will reportedly be delivered sometime in October, in what the company has said will help to satisfy “unfulfilled demand.”

HP will ship 200,000 TouchPad units, including touch panels, batteries, and chassis, according to a DigiTimes report.

The limited supply of HP tablets, which were previously sold in a slash price sale of $99 for the 16GB model and $149 for the 32GB model, are rumored to become available within Oct.

After the massive success of the $99 TouchPad fire sale, the device was completely sold out worldwide at retailers carrying the hugely discounted price. Within days all stores selling the discounted tablet sold out, and thousands of customers have been anticipating further supplies ever since.

HP previously announced: "Despite announcing an end to manufacturing webOS hardware, we have decided to produce one last run of TouchPads to meet unfulfilled demand."

However, the company added, "We can’t promise we’ll have enough for everyone."

In addition, HP has said it could not guarantee the price reduction at every retailer, as each would be given the freedom to decide whether to implement HP’s sale price or to charge a higher amount.

On the company’s blog it stated: “Each retailer will manage their own policy and process regarding pricing and price matching. Please contact the local retailer of your choice to see what their current position is.”
