$500 HP TouchPad Pre-Orders Begin
June 20, 2011 | In: tablets
Let the madness begin! Even though the new HP TouchPad will not be on sale in the States until July 1, pre-orders have officially begun and we’re already on the ball.
Amazon, NewEgg, Best Buy, Walmart, Staples, Sam’s Club, Radio Shack and even the Nebraska Furniture Mart, strangely, are offering the $500 tablet up for pre-order.
As expected, the tab comes in two flavors: a 16GB version for $499.99 and a 32GB model that’ll set you back $599.99. Both of ‘em pack a dual-core 1.2GHz Snapdragon processor, accelerometer, gyroscope, compass, stereo speakers, Touch-to-Share, a 1.3 megapixel front-facing camera, and, of course, a gussied-up version of webOS optimized for that 9.7-inch display.
