Sorry to ask, but why did HP stop producing these? Are they still sold new in other countries?



No, they aren't sold new anywhere.

HP stopped producing the Touchpad about 3 months after it was released due to extremely poor sales. Why did it flop? I think it's because of a few things, first a very late entry to the market, and they wanted $499 for a 16GB and $599 for a 32GB. They were insane to charge iPad prices for the Touchpad especially when coming from the inferior position of very small app catalog, and an unknown, buggy OS.


Aha, cheers.
