Is it still a good buy? What about their PCs.

Best Buy, the electronics retailer, cut the price of the TouchPad to $99 in an attempt to clear its stock. Best Buy was last week reported to have more than 200,000 of the tablets. The low price brought queues outside its stores and, according to one staff employee, a “stampede” from customers hoping to land a bargain.


"Due to HP's decision to discontinue its TouchPad product, Best Buy will now provide clearance pricing for all TouchPad 16GB and 32GB models regardless of previously advertised prices or promotions," Best Buy said. The company said that anyone who had bought a TouchPad after June 19 would be entitled to a refund.


HP also dropped the price of the TouchPad and saw its website crash amid huge demand from would-be buyers.


HP announced the demise of the TouchPad last week. The gadget had been on sale for only 48 days in the US and for just four days in Australia.
