HP TouchPad 4G available to pre-order on Amazon for $700

If you’ve been waiting to get your hands on the HP TouchPad 4G, you might not have to wait for much longer. The TouchPad 4G has been spotted for pre-order on Amazon for $699.99. That’s roughly $100 more than the WiFi-only version available already.
The 32GB TouchPad 4G offers a 9.7-inch LED multi-touch display. The tablet uses HP’s webOS 3.0, and runs on a fast 1.5 GHz processor, which is a step up from the 1.2GHz processor of the WiFi version. It also has integrated GPS and built-in AT&T wireless mobile broadband capabilities. The 4G tablet is HSPA+ (AT&T), not LTE, so don’t get too excited. And, unlike the iPad, the TouchPad offers Adobe Flash support.

If $700 sounds like a lot to be spending on a tablet, you may want to wait a month or two. As we’ve seen recently, HP has been discounting the TouchPad like crazy. Last Friday we saw it for $380 at Woot, and Staples was offering it for $299.99 over the weekend through a $100 rebate coupon. We can’t promise it will be cut in price soon, but if you’re looking to save a few bucks, you may want to consider waiting a bit.
HP also announced a promotion over the weekend for anyone in the U.S. who buys a TouchPad between July 1 and August 4. Purchasing the tablet will get you $50 worth of credit to use in the App Catalog.
Reports of a 64GB model release were also floating around back in July. They came at the same time as the TouchPad 4G rumors, so it’s likely that we may see a 64GB version when the 4G version is finally released.
You can preorder the HP TouchPad 4G at Amazon now, but there’s no release date listed as of yet.
