Well, in a move that reminds me of some Asian company selling tablets with fridges or washing machines, Best Buy has decided to make an offer that you won’t refuse: a HP TouchPad bundled with a HP computer. We all know that WebOS is pretty much doomed, but the TouchPad (and its Android ports) has received a lot of attention recently.
The reason? Its incredible price ($99) and the Android port that seems to be approaching a more stable version. Best Buy now offers you a go at the slate , in its 32GB version priced at $149. However, this offer requires that you buy a HP PC as well as the slate. Earlier this week HP announced that it gave up on the plans to sell its PC division, but the TouchPad, webOS and the employees from the mobile division will be canned.
The TouchPad + PC offer starts on November 1st and this includes laptops, desktops and all in one PCs, if you’re interested. Maybe with a $300 netbook, this offer would look interesting.. Online purchases are also expected here and I wonder if the TouchPad inventory will make it till Christmas time…
