Ask HN: Has HP TouchPad $99 Pricing shattered the iPhone lovers ego?
- brk 15y agoHow so? HP built a product that they can barely give away, and have announced they are canceling the entire platform. Not being a fanboi, but how/why would this have any impact on iPhone zealots?
- johnnyo 15y agoIf HP was releasing a TouchPad 2 at that price point, it could potentially be a game changer, but they aren't. It's a fire sale on soon-to-be unsupported technology.
- Apple-Guy 15y agoHP TouchPad: almost no demand at $500 HP TouchPad: almost no demand at $400 HP TouchPad: almost no demand at $380 (only hundreds sold on woot) HP TouchPad: announced abandoning product and sold unused inventory for cost of recycling iPhone: people pay up to $1000 per device retail, or up to $1500 per device in some countries
- smoody 15y agoShow me where I can actually buy a TouchPad for $99 and I will react accordingly. :-)
- dpio 15y agoSeriously, what's your reasoning?
