Jumping onboard HP’s webOS love fest early on may have seemed quite rewarding — until the company CEO went crazy and decided to completely kill off all in-house hardware, and in this case, your precious TouchPad. But the real slap in the face is the heavily discounted TouchPad tablets. Where you spent upwards of $500, some 100,000+ people just snatched one (or more) up for $100 a piece today. Thankfully HP has somewhat of a heart. They’ve announced that they will be honoring full refunds for HP TouchPads purchased via HP’s website. They’ve also stated a willingness to refund the difference between the price you paid for your TouchPad and the new fire sale price. But honestly, why wouldn’t you take the full refund…?

All that’s needed on your part to reclaim your prize is 30-60 minutes on hold with HP’s Home & Office phone support. Those of you who picked up a TouchPad from a 3rd party retailer should get similar treatment given HP’s announcement stating retailers are to honor the same fire sale pricing. (We’ll see how that all goes.)

For now it’s not known how far back in purchase history HP is allowing full refunds for. We’d like to hope that it’s from the beginning of TouchPad sales (which isn’t all that long anyway). Still, we’ll keep you posted.

Anyone pick up a TouchPad today?
