Don't get all excited, though, and jump to any crazy conclusions about HP resurrecting the TouchPad.
HP issued a statement today explaining the current outlook for TouchPad tablets. HP is making another batch of TouchPad tablets, but don't get all excited.The announcement has led many to speculate that perhaps HP is having second thoughts about killing the TouchPad, and that it might get back into the tablet business after all. But, the TouchPad is not coming back--at least not from HP. A report from DigiTimes Systems claims upstream suppliers are not happy about getting stuck with TouchPad component inventory. The story cites HP sources stating, "The suppliers are currently in negotiation with HP to find a solution for the component inventory, while HP Taiwan pointed out will maintain its promise to the partners."
