What does a company like HP usually do when they have thousands of unsold tablets like this? Take them back and throw them in a landfill or will there ever be a clearance sale?

I'm waiting to see how I can get my free TouchPad. Better to put it to use than the throw it away, right?

Bundle them with PCs, most likely. Landfill space is expensive.
