US$100 HP 7 Plus tablet launches in U.S.

HP 7 PlusHewlett-Packard caused a bit of a stir late last year when it unveiled a US$89 tablet for Walmart. It followed it up with the HP 7 Plus, another low-price tablet, for the European market. The HP 7 Plus is now available in the U.S. for only US$99.99. While the specifications are a step up from those of the HP Mesquite, they are still clearly those of an entry-level tablet.
