PALO ALTO, Calif. — Hewlett-Packard says it’s making one last run of its TouchPad tablet computer before the device is officially retiredagain.
HP cited “stunning” demand for the tablet after a big price drop this month when chief executive Leo Apotheker said the company was exiting the tablet and smartphone business to focus more on selling to corporations.
The tablet was a dud with consumers at $499 and $599 but a hit at $99 and $149, depending on the size of memory.
On Monday, HP announced on a corporate blog that it will produce “one last run of TouchPads to meet unfulfilled demand” and that it would be at least a few weeks until they’re available. The Associated Press; AP file photo
