没想到HP居然$99来清仓TouchPad, 这下ASUS/ACER/MOTO也跟着遭殃.

News said that BestBuy returned 240,000 TouchPads back to HP. Plus all other retails. HP must ordered at least half million, may be 1 million TouchPads from manufacturer. So far the best sale Android tablet is Asus which only sold around half million in 3-4 months. When HP one is on sale for $99, all others will have to cut price significantly. Many originally consider buy Acer/Asus for $399-$100(gift card), now will buy this $99 one. They may not get at $99, but those bought multiple $99 ones will try to sell it for small profit, say $150. Then, ASUS/Acer/Moto has to be cut their price to around $200-$250. I guess they all will have to deal with losing money business for the tablets.
