Another one of Hewlett Packard's discarded tablets has been discovered. A Chinese site Palmjoy was able to snag a prototype copy of the HP TouchPad Go, a 7-inch tablet that HP had been working on before it decided to discontinue its TouchPad line.

Externally the TouchPad Go is a bit flatter than the TouchPad with a physical button on the longer side. The back of the tablet doesn't have the TouchPad's magnet gloss but a duller matte finish.

The TouchPad Go prototype has a 1024x768 7-inch touchscreen display. It runs on a 1.5 Ghz Qualcomm Snapdragon dual core processor which is the same chip in its big brother, the TouchPad tablet but with a higher clock speed. The little tablet also has a sturdy Corning Gorilla Glass screen, a 1.3 MP front- facing camera and a 5 MP rear facing camera with LED flash, GPS, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and 3G capabilities. Aside from the 5 megapixel rear facing camera and the 3G capability the TouchPad Go is practically similar to the TouchPad. Although it's unlikely this little tablet will ever see the light of the consumer markets, reports suggest that suppliers could have as much as 100,000 units of the TouchPad Go just lying around.

Hewlett Packard's TouchPad line was discontinued on August 18 just seven weeks after its initial U.S. release. HP then decided to slash the price of its remaining inventory to just $99. It was the right move to make as those TouchPad units started to fly off the shelves. HP had resurrected the TouchPad earlier this month with retailers like Best Buy and Walmart offering limited offerings of the TouchPad. Despite the uncertainty with the webOS, HP had announced that it was selling of its software then announced that it was keeping it, now it's considering whether to sell the webOS or not, HP is still sticking with its computer group. HP CEO Meg Whitman had announced that HP will continue making computer. The company has recently announced a new tablet the HP Slate 2, a tablet running Windows 7 and aimed at business users.
