As the very last TouchPads leave the dusty shelves they’ve called home for the last month, making their way to consumers cashing in on fire-sale prices as low as $99, HP has announced it will sell its top-of-the-range Pre3 smartphone for just £49 ($80) in Europe only.
I have a confession to make, I’m a history buff. I’m a sucker for historical novels, love a good period drama and, probably most importantly, I read history when I was at university.

Oh, yeah, that and the $100 price tag, which you’d have to be a dodo to ignore.
