The speed at which it disappeared from inventory has been stunning. We have decided to produce one last run of TouchPads to meet unfulfilled demand.

A statement from Hewlett-Packard • Revealing that the company’s late-round success with the HP TouchPad was enough that they’re going to produce more of them and sell them at fire-sale prices.

Gizmodo dropped two bombs on the plebs today — first, the TouchPad will get software updates (and probably crawled its way up to the No. 2 spot in the tablet sales department) … and second, the TouchPad may possibly not be dead after all. See guys, all it took was a fire sale!
