HP touchpad to be available at COMEX for S$118
Finally, after days of teasing folks here in Singapore, HP has revealed that it is selling the TouchPad at hugely-discounted prices of S$118 (16GB version) and S$188 (32GB version) from tomorrow.
The fire sale will happen at the Comex tech bazaar starting tomorrow at Suntec Singapore. One hundred units of each version of the tablet will be available each day at the HP booth during the four-day event, and each person is allowed to buy just one unit.
HP Singapore had said last week that it would separately allow refunds for users who had already pre-ordered the tablets, which was supposed to have gone on sale here for S$699.
This comes just weeks after the tablet was dumped in the United States for as little as US$99, which has since ironically sparked a rush for a device that the company thought had been a failure after just six weeks of putting it on the shelves.
