Wow. The day after HP announced they would cease all of its webOS devices, and they've issued the order of elimination. Best buy, future shop, source, London Drugs and Staples will sell touch 16 GB for $ 100 and a 32 GB version for $ 150 starting tomorrow. Well, at least in Canada.

No word on when it will be distributed in the United States, UK, EU, and so forth — but somehow I doubt many dvuhknopocnyh will sell for full price while going to sell it, so that the switch is likely to happen at once. Unclear the fate of the 64 GB version.

Buy one recently? Get you refundery. There are a few bucks? Try to select one. This ad price for decent devices — even if it will not receive any support, people are hacking the hell out of it soon. One commenter said that they already have meshed up and running.

It is best to call your local store and check the stocks gadget and pricing, then run like a bat out of hell to get yours before they're gone.

Remember when I said I thought HP Telegraph sales with pricing touchpad? And as I said the device is $ 100 off this weekend? HP does not sell well or any dvuhknopocnyh ever, or are they some of the donkihotstvo race to the bottom in every other tablet. You can see, touch $ 379 on Woot today morning.

I love Woot. Best shopping site ever. But Woot (usually) where gadgets to die. This is where you can get a $ 99 Smartphone which does not want the rest of the world or failed production experiment that nobody wants to buy. This is not always so (Wine. Woot, for example, is just the opposite of what I described: finely curator, clever site for great wine), but it is often that way.

Nevertheless, Woot has some pull and for HP to wear their gear is a big deal. But I am worried that this move will encourage the slow and steady erosion of WebOS sales. Leave the HP lead us all into another continuing to rathole netbook, cheaper mobile until it collapses under its inability to increase the value.
