HP resurrect the TouchPad for a last attempt

Hewlett-Packard, the largest manufacturer of PCs in the world, just days after announcing the closure of the Division of PCs and tablets that led to the collapse of HP shares by 22%, plans to temporary "resurrect" the TouchPad tablet, betting that it could dethrone the iPhone from Apple.



HP officials announced that they will produce a final lot of tablets TouchPad on the grounds that they were "very surprised" by the high demand generated in the last week. The tablets have disappeared from the shelves of retailers like Amazon or BestBuy in a few hours after HP reduced the tablets price to 99 $ tablets in the weekend from $ 399 dollars. The drastic drop in price came as soon as company officials announced August 18 that will close the division of tablets as part of a series of decisions intended to remove the company from consumers and to focus on business customers.



On August 18 the company has also announced that it will separate the company's PC division. HP Board will meet in December to decide on future business with PCs although many expect it to be separate from the company.
