It was just 6 months ago when HP with lots of bells and whistles revealed the TouchPad, but on a surpize move, on the 18th of August the company decided to kill it off . This decision shocked industry watchers and HP partners, but made many consumers happy who bought the tablet for as cheap as $100.
