HP TouchPad 16GB Wi-Fi Tablet on sale for $380 today only

Deal-seeking geeks are surely aware of the deal-a-day site Woot.com. The site lists deeply discounted products that are sometimes too good of a deal to pass up. Today’s offer is the 16GB HP TouchPad, which we saw on sale earlier this week for $419.99. We thought that was a good deal, but today’s Woot deal is even better.
Friday only, and while supplies last, you can get the tablet for just $379.99. The TouchPad features a 9.7-inch IPS display with 1024×768 pixels, similar to the iPad 2. It has a 1.2GHz dual-core Qualcomm processor with 1GB of RAM. The tablet also has a nice 1.3-megapixel camera, as well as the standard features of Bluetooth, accelerometer, and 802.11n WiFi.
It’s nice that the tablet is offered at a discount today, but is the TouchPad’s appearance on Woot a sign of desperation on HP’s part? Woot is a great site for finding deals, but the electronics it sells are usually not exactly top-of-the-line. You may see an iPod on there, but it’ll be a refurbished model, and the only tech products I’ve ever bought from the site have been a pair of mediocre headphones for $10. Could it be that the TouchPad hasn’t been selling enough in stores, so HP is getting rid of some of the excess tablets via Woot?
If you’ve been interested in WebOS and were on the fence about buying the TouchPad, this is the cheapest we’ve seen it, so you better grab this deal fast.
If you don’t make today’s deal, HP is offering $100 off the normal price for this weekend only. You can get the 16GB model for $399.99 or the 32GB model for $499.99.
