HP's new tablet, the WebOs-based TouchPad, isn't selling very well. In fact, Best Buy has only been able to sell 10 percent of its inventory since the device launched and has 200,000 of the damn things sitting on the shelves. Now it wants HP to take them back. [Read More]

The price point for HP's upcoming debut tablet, the first of its new line consumer electronics created with the help of the recently acquired Palm, has until now been kept a secret.

The TouchPad, unveiled in February, will feature 9.7 in screen, 1.2 ghz dual core processor and nextgen WebOS software.
