$ 99 TouchPad - Available From September 28th (For HP Employees)

As in the days of the Soviet economy, again it was time to remember the words “blat”, “garters” and “deficit”. In general, if you have friends, blat, connections with HP, then from September 28, you can purchase an HP TouchPad tablet costing $ 99 for 16 GB or $ 149 for 32 GB.

As part of the ongoing product elimination, HP decided to throw away a batch of tablets for its own. You can buy them through the Employee Purchase Program (EPP), said one of the HP employees from the US office.

Applications are accepted through the EPP website starting at 9:00 PDT. The number of tablets is limited, give only one at a time in order of hand.

This is good news for those who have no connections at HP, because on eBay soon after the corporate sale, a new lot of TouchPad will probably appear at prices from $ 200, which is also not too expensive. There is also a small chance that a limited number of tablets for $ 99/149 will be thrown into the free market.

PS The list of HP employees on Habré: 18 people .
