HP thinking about resurrecting the TouchPad?

Tuesday, August 30, 2011

The past couple weeks or so there has been a lot of buzz surrounding the HP TouchPad, and why wouldn't there be? After all, the device was cancelled after only less than two months into its release. Since then the tablet has seen a fire sale where it saw its prices drop to $99 for the cheapest option, and let's not forget that Android developers are now working to get an Android ROM running on the device.

In an interview with Reuters, head of HP's Personal Systems Group, Todd Bradley, dropped a piece of rather shocking news when he casually mentioned that HP could resurrect the TouchPad. He acknowledged that the tablet industry was important which could be one of the reasons HP is reconsidering getting back into the game.

Bradley said the company could resurrect HP's short-lived TouchPad tablet computer, which was introduced on July 1 before being terminated only about six weeks later.

“Tablet computing is a segment of the market that's relevant, absolutely,” Bradley said.

As to whether Bradley was being drop-dead serious about the possibility of reviving the TouchPad, or if he was merely discussing a distant possibility remains unclear, but if it turns out that they do revive the TouchPad, those who got their hands on it for a mere $99 will definitely be extremely pleased!
