As reported on email that HP is clearing down the manufacturing of HP TouchPad and has also allowed the retailers to clear HP TouchPad for 99$ earlier.
For last few weeks since HP officially turned down WebOS and put TouchPad on 99$ Clearance lot of developers are working to get something big out of 99$ 1.2 GHz Dual Core device whether it be installation of Android 2.2.1 on HP TouchPad or installation of CynogenMod 7 on HP TouchPad. Although a mjor chunck of work has been done but still some fine tuning will take time. HP TouchPad Android 2.2.1 port appeared followed by installation of CynogenMod 7 on HP TouchPad, Android 2.3.x Gingerbread And webOS Dual Boot, Overclocking HP Touch Pad to 1.9 Ghz andAndroid Port gets MultiTouch support was revealed. So there was lot of activity around for Android on HP TouchPad but sadly the TouchDroid team had decided to Quit working on HP TouchPad Android Port.
So if you are a lucky HP Employee you can grab the HP TouchPad for 99$ as you can install Android on your TouchPad in few weeks time.
