HP TouchPad Go: $99? 146
redletterdave writes "The HP TouchPad Go, which is a smaller version of the company's signature TouchPad, may go on sale for $99 like its predecessor. The tablet features a 1023 x 768 resolution display, runs on webOS, and also has a removable cover with soft-touch coating to minimize fingerprints on the 7-inch screen. HP's new tablet also comes with a removable battery, 32GB of storage, a 3G radio, a five-megapixel camera and LED flash. HP designed the TouchPad Go around the same time as the larger model, but it failed to reach production stages when the company decided to kill off all devices running on the doomed webOS. If the tablet indeed sells for $99, it would be the cheapest tablet in the world besides the Aakash tablet, which was released by the Indian government for $35."

Come on, you wonder why this is the only tablet that can be sold for $100? It's the extra pixel that makes all the difference. The guy who owns the patent on pixel 1024 has been licensing it at an obscene markup to manufactures, it's good to see someone finally put a foot down and stop the madness.

Were they afraid Apple would sue them for 1024?
