HP Touchpad

The white 64Gb TouchPad made available yesterday in France has just appeared for sale on HP’s online store to domestic customers. The specs remain unchanged, with a 1.5Ghz Snapdragon CPU offering a 300Mhz boost over the standard TouchPad’s 1.2Ghz CPU. The price on the device is $599.99, fitting right in with the $100 price reduction seen on the lesser TouchPad SKUs and undercutting the 64GB iPad2 by $100. Aesthetically, it looks to be more of the off-white + black two-tone style of the Veer 4G as opposed to a glossy all-white finish. At this stage of the game, it’s unlikely any retailer will be chomping at the bit to stock this device. It’s also uncertain how long HP will sell the device or how many have been produced, so depending on the status of the pending TouchPad4G, this could be the final “new” piece of WebOS hardware ever released.
