Some recent rumours have broken and we are seeing an intriguing "good news, bad news" story. According to a couple of sources, HP is cancelling the current HP TouchPad orders that haven't shipped yet. That's the bad news. The good news is that the reason they are cancelling it is because they are going to retract their initial discontinuation of the product line, and re-continue it (plus they are completely out of stock as well).

In some ways this isn't that great, because the opportunity to get a decent tablet for the low-low price of £99 dollars is slipping away. Now, after seeing the relative success of the product with folks that either want a really cheap tablet, or folks that want to put Android on it, HP wants to revive it from the dead. Who knows... they may consider working out a licensing deal to get Android on it from Google. Of course, that is pure speculation at this point.

Highly sceptical.

Now, where is my BS meter?
[TouchPad General] Hotconductor:
I can't really see this happening... Then again, HP has kindof played the role of the Joker from Batman, by just burning money. Who discounts a tablet from $500 to $99... Seriously.

The Touchpad would have sold if they had discounted it to $250, I think. Its not that crippled, its just a young OS with some drawbacks that have not properly been addressed. Is the Playbook any better at this point?

I don't see HP getting back into anything, unless its at the lowball entry. Most of us would have never paid $500/$600 for this tablet, but $99 is a steal. A flat out steal. At $150 its a steal. And once a stable Android port makes its way (EVEN GINGERBREAD) this tablet will be amazing. WebOS is dying a slow death, albeit delayed by the sudden influx of users.

[TouchPad General] danrodz:
I just spoke with HP customer service who told me that, although they are out of stock, they are expecting a shipment of touchpad's and that all pending orders would be filled. She specifically told me that if your order had already been approved that you would have your order filled
[TouchPad General] RojasTKD:
I hope so. I got a confirmation but yet to get a shipping notice.
[TouchPad General] Adonis K.:
same, its the 2nd time my shipment from amazon.com (directly from amazon) gets postponed.
[TouchPad General] yareally:
OP's posting sounds more like a ploy started by the desperate sellers on ebay and the like that are stuck with touchpads they are trying to sell and no one wanting them at their overpriced askings. $250 would sound cheap if they were going to start making them again at full price.
[TouchPad General] phobos512:
Exactly. I think the site op linked is just trying to make a name for itself. This would be all over if it were a widespread rumor.
[TouchPad General] Visceral:
Interesting..

CNN is also reporting they might resume production.

http://www.cnn.com/2011/TECH/mobile/08/29/hp.touchpad.android/
[TouchPad General] seboj:
The CNN article provides absolutely no evidence that HP is considering producing more. The closest it gets is this quote from HP Spokesman Budgell's faq on his blog:

And even then, it doesn't make any suggestions about whether the available Touchpads would be from another production run, or from shipments returning from retailers.

As far as that Tracy and Matt website is concerned, if you dig into their forum post about the "rumors", it's based off a Facebook post by a Lee-Anne James, who is apparently a hairdresser.

Yes, that's the quality of the Facebook snapshot they provided. If you zoom is really far, you can read it. This rumor may turn out to be true, but I don't see any legitimacy in it as of now.
[TouchPad General] phobos512:
If you look at the simple economics here there is no way HP can continue to make new TouchPads. Remember, the hardware alone was determined to be worth approximately $320 by iSuppli (http://www.isuppli.com/Teardowns/News/Pages/HP-TouchPad-Carries-$318-Bill-of-Materials.aspx) who is the industry leader in doing price breakdowns. And that doesn't count NRE (non-recurring engineering costs of development), marketing, support, etc. HP could NEVER sell these devices at the original pricepoint again, not after they've sold half a million or more at $99/$149. They're losing too much money. The Touchpads that were already built or were already in the supply chain are a sunk cost but there won't be anymore after those are expended. Some are probably on a boat from China which is where the additional quantities come from.

I do this stuff for a living, I know how it works (I'm a production engineer).
[TouchPad General] pflatlyne:
Hp claims to be losing 100 mil on the tablets. Figure half of each model,so assume 125 each from sales. Thats assumption was said to assume 400 per tablet. Depending on if you count about 100 from each tablet or not,thats 25 to 30 million tablets. Best buy had 250k. how many have been sold is the question. (for comparison,there are around 30 million ipads sold,it may end ,at least for a short time,being the # 2 tablet)

As for them resuming production,i really doubt it. At best I could see them going for the low end with a cheap small screen discount tablet,but I would not hold my breath
[TouchPad General] Visceral:
Yup, which is why it's a rumor and they said "might", never claimed it was a fact, just that it's "Interesting".
[TouchPad General] BL4zD:
With the Kindle 2 and Nook Color 2 around the corner, HP's wisest move was canceling their 7" tablet before a production run.

I'm not even going to click on that link. The story is bogus, flat out.
[TouchPad General] dirtyfingers:
Exactly, even if they started selling them at cost it would be no different than before the firesale. Its a nice tablet, but if I'm going to spend that much there are far better choices currently available. I just don't believe they will ever be in production again.
[TouchPad General] looktall:
well i'm travelling to malaysia next week so i'm expecting to see hundreds of hb touchpods at the various markets.

;)
[TouchPad General] I Am Marino:
HP is losing way too much money to even consider starting to make these again, and people would laugh them out of business if they even tried to price these anymore than what they've been fireselling for.
[TouchPad General] Cobjones:
If they didn't have the Russell B. and Manny P. Commercials this would have been a golden opportunity.

They could have had that huge loss and not cared one bit.
[TouchPad General] phobos512:
Ok so since this obviously is going to continue once people start looking at the news today I figured I'd head folks off at the pass.

http://www.bgr.com/2011/08/30/hp-may-resurrect-touchpad-head-of-pc-business-says/

http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/08/30/us-hp-interview-idUSL4E7JT1UU20110830?irpc=932

The BGR article links to the second link above and makes the claim that an HP executive in an interview stated that they may bring the Touchpad back. That statement is patently false and is just BGR's attempt at sensationalism.

The quote from the actual article is as follows:

If the guy actually said they were thinking about bringing back the Touchpad, that's what would've been printed. All this says is HP thinks the tablet market is important (which it currently is). HP frankly has totally shot themselves in the foot / backed themselves into a corner with the firesale. It was shortsighted and foolish. If they bring out another tablet and it's running webOS and it isn't competitive (both in hardware, software, and cost, like the Touchpad) then it will fail again. No doubt in my mind about that.

If Dell couldn't get folks to buy a bargain priced tablet (Streak 7) what makes HP think they can? They're the old guard and they're on their way out, plain and simple, but they aren't going down without taking their shareholders with them apparently.
[TouchPad General] tewkewl:
why not?

well. they could still sell them for a loss. as a loss leader actually. you guys are thinking just about the hardware. look at microsoft. they can sell hardware at a loss (xbox for instance) in order to make up the money on games.

these folks at hp could sell a crap load of these things at 249 pricepoint, lose 70 bucks. and then make up the money plus profit on apps.

sure there are 99 cent apps, but there are also 4 dollar to 10 dollar business apps. over time (i would give it a couple years), they will be profitable. not only that, the economies of scale and the advance in tech, would make it quite possible that they aren't losing any money on these pads at this price point.

case in point, look at the nook color. sells like hotcakes. a lot less power than the touchpad, but it's cheap and reliable and does most of what people want.

now that there are 5 million of these things out there, there should be a lot more apps being written for it.

i have personally spent maybe 20 bucks so far on apps between my nook color and my phone. and over the next few years, i will easily spend 20 more bucks. i've spent 100s on pc software and 100s on xbox games. hp has a good platform now. all they need are apps, and they will eventually start making dough.

they should bring back the touch pad. even if it's a slightly less powerful one.
[TouchPad General] BL4zD:
The xbox *was* being sold at a loss, it isn't any longer. The xbox isn't updated every year either, unlike a pad needs to be in order to remain competitive. Video games also cost $60 dollars each and the xbox live is a subscription service so I'm not sure how you compare those to apps.

But if I'm reading what you're writing correctly, your business plan is to sell something at over a hundred dollar loss in the hopes that someone (per your example) will spend around $40 dollars on apps over the next few years?

If you think that through by a million or more you can start to understand why HP (rightly) determined that's a good way to lose a ton of money...but not accomplish much else.
[TouchPad General] RojasTKD:
I was thinking the same thing, What that guy said makes no sense.
[TouchPad General] sneef:
ExactLy. You'd have to have each firesale touchpad buyer (averaged out of course) purchase apps or services that would bring hp revenue equal to or greater than the loss on each tablet. That's a lot of apps and services, and it's not based on gross either. Remember there's R&D, marketing, and other overhead.

Not likely. This guy himself buys very little by his own admission. Some people buy nothing. Anyway, I'm sure most of us agree, and see it like this.

This is super annoying, I tend to shoot video/pictures vertically, because I like to just use one hand. It seems that when I play my gallery back through the phone, the picture looks right, but when I upload it to facebook and etc, the video or picture is rotated sideways.

I hate having to go into PS to re-rotate it back, is there a fix or a setting for this?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sitlet:
facebook should auto rotate pictures to the way they were taken. Either there is a problem with your facebook app, or there is a problem with your phone's gyroscope, and it's not recording the correct orientation in the exif data of the picture

Heading to Afghanistan this week. Does anyone know if wi-fi calling works there and will I be charged roaming fees? If connected to wi-fi, will 3rd party messaging apps work? How about skype, tango, qik or gtalk? Any info is appreciated.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h22aboi:
The problem with using wifi calling is you can't connect / use when in airplane mode with wifi turned on. You have to have sim card on with wifi, which I was told may or may not incur roaming charges. BUT any call you make with wifi calling on will be like you making a call from the states.

When I went to a foreign country, I use tango, what's app with wifi, and airplane mode. That is completely free.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rtwhtever:
I was in Europe earlier this year and it worked great for me. I had my T-mo SIM in, mobile network disabled, WiFi calling app set to WiFi calls only and it was working great on all WiFi networks I connected except one - the modems of one of the local DSL ISPs seemed to have ports used by the WiFi calling closed so I was getting connection errors in the WiFi calling app. But this was one single provider and I guess if I'd researched it I could have fixed it in the modem settings.

I don't know anything about the other options.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Skype and Gtalk work fine on WiFi. If your communication can be done at specific hours (which I presume is correct) - Skype and Gtalk are good options, and even video calling on them is good enough and doesn't require much bandwidth usage.

webOs is honestly the best mobile OS I've ever used. It's so fun to just flick the apps away and has by far the best multitasking you'll ever see. They just needed better hardware and more apps. Otherwise, the funnest OS I've ever used.

Hell I even read somewhere that HP tried putting webOS on the iPad, and that it ran way faster than it ever did on the touchpad or any other HP/Palm device.
