Deal of the Day #2 - 12/8/11

Hello All,

On Sunday night, December 11th, at 6pm central time.  HP will be selling refurbished TouchPads for $99 for the 16GB and $149 for the 32GB.  They will be doing this only from their ebay store, and only accept PayPal as a payment method.  There is a limit of two per person and the units will have a 90 day warranty.  HP will also be selling a $79 bundle including a case, Touchstone dock, and wireless keyboard.  The dock allows you to charge the TouchPad wirelessly, you simply need to place it on the stand.

We scored one of the 32GB originally when they hit $149.  It was DOA when we got it and it took about six weeks to get it back from HP.  It is good for the money, but a first generation iPad is more responsive.  If you look at it like a giant iPod Touch, then it is a good deal.  For music playback, photo viewing, and light web browsing it works great.  Lastly, there is an effort to port Andriod 4 to the TouchPad.  If they get that working then you will have a very solid Andriod tablet for $99 or $149, and that is a great deal.

You can find this deal here.

Later,

John
