I didn't have any signal so don't know what happened but got an email at 17:32 saying tesco page back up and price at £89. Page now says 'last chance to buy' but none left. Did anyone order one?

It has only just gone live (as I have been checking various sites including this for the past week) but immediately showing that it has discontinued and no longer in stock (page hasn't been there for the past week as they were only showing 64gb and only then as discontinued).

From The Gaurdian online.
If you missed out on the low-cost HP TouchPad – with its price slashed from £400 to around £100 – but still want one, there's some good news. Hewlett Packard Co plans to crank out "one last run" of TouchPads, just over a week after declaring it will kill off its tablet line after apparently deciding they had failed to challenge Apple Inc's command of the booming market.
Update: HP says that the new batch will only be available in North America, and "there will be no additional products available in EMEA [Europe, the Middle East and Africa] beyond what is currently available."
In a statement, HP EMEA said: "We are pleased by the response to webOS and look forward to customer feedback so we can further enhance the platform. A limited quantity of TouchPads will be available in the coming weeks in North America only. In EMEA we are discontinuing the webOS hardware operations and will not offer any additional products beyond what might be currently available in selective outlets."
