Or 99 dollars! HP's second batch of TouchPad will ship

Since the TouchPad was sold by Hewlett-Packard, the tablet has not only surged in sales, but has also seen a situation of oversupply. Earlier media reports said that HP plans to conduct the second round of TouchPad promotions at the end of October. Today, the HP SMB (Small and Medium Business) department has sent an e-mail notice to consumers that orders for the current TouchPad tablet that is not delivered will be shipped in 6-8 weeks to complete the order.

HP also stated in the e-mail that the launch of TouchPad this time is only for SMB consumers. In other words, those consumers who have not yet placed orders will not be able to purchase these TouchPads. At the same time, HP also promises consumers that they will fulfill orders for TouchPad orders for $99.

Previously, it was reported that in order to repair the relationship with component suppliers and channel operators, HP decided to help them clean up component inventory, including touch panels, batteries, and racks. The current inventory of components in the supply chain can produce 10 - 200,000 9.7-inch TouchPad.
