The short life of the HP TouchPad is about to get resurrected for one last breathe at $99 for each 16GB model and $149 on 32GB models.

The HP Touchpads will actually be refurbished ones and be offered in very limited supply on December 11th.

The sale of the refurbished models will take place on the web at the HP ebay store only and you have to pay for it thru Paypal.

According to a report on TechCrunch, all Hewleet Packard employees will get about a few minute head start on being able to purchase the tablet before the sale opens up to the public.

The refurbished TouchPad product comes with a 90-day limited warranty.An optional three-piece accessory bundle with a case, charging dock, and wireless keyboard will also be offered for $79.

The WebOS-based TouchPad was only available for a little more than two months before WebOS hardware operations were shut down. The tablet then saw a burst of popularity when HP and retailers like Best Buy sold new units starting at $99. Those quickly sold out in August.

Specs include a 9.7-inch multitouch (capacitive) 1024×768 display, a 1.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon dual-core APQ8060 processor, HP WebOS, a front-facing 1.3MP camera, and internal speakers with Beats Audio.
