The HP TouchPad Firesale is Back This Weekend!
Shoppers, start your browsers...
HP saw huge demand for its TouchPad tablet when it announced the decision to scrap the line and drop the price to $99. The tablet sold out in stores and at online retailers in a matter of hours and, ever since then, those that weren't quick enough or lucky enough to snag one have been wondering if the $99 TouchPad might return at some point.
Well, if you didn't cave a snap up a PlayBook after that device's recent price plummet, you'll be pleased to know that the $99 TouchPad is apparently going to return this weekend. TechCrunch cites an internal HP mail that says starting Sunday, December 11 at 6:00 p.m. Central time, 16GB and 32GB Touchpads will be available via HP’s ebay store (under 'laptops'). However, there is one catch: They're not brand new devices. Instead, HP is selling refurbs to those willing to shell out either $99 or $149 for the tablet.
Of course, supplies are limited, so when they're gone, they're gone. To that end, HP is restricting customers to two units each. There will also be an optional three-piece accessory bundle that includes a case, charging dock and wireless keyboard for $79 (estimated value is $199.97).

Got two in the original firesale and I feel the Touchpad is too heavy for comfort especially with newer, lighter models coming (despite the stats saying it's not much heavier than the Eee Pad for instance).
Is this US only?????
UK information is require ASAP.
From the HP Ebay outlet shipping terms and conditions:
"What about shipping and handling?
Shipping and handling is limited to the United States. All orders are shipped via UPS Ground Shipping unless customers specify otherwise. Costs for shipping vary from product to product."
People learn to read for yourselves and Tom's for god's sake stop putting US only deals on the UK site!!!!! What happened to local UK editors and more UK content?
