They could do something exceptionally creative, they could sell them at half-cost with full schematics and data sheets for all of the parts. Plus documentation on the boot process, identify jtag/test ports, maybe boot rom source code.

This would save them from an expensive e-recycling bill.

It would put a lot of now 'open' tablets on the market which would give a huge cadre of people who would give it a shot a chance to do something amazing. It could change the world.

Its a shame that winning the lottery is more likely than this outcome.

In an interesting test of Google+ I shared an open letter to HP with this suggestion to 'Public.' Since I don't think anyone from HP follows me it probably won't get anywhere but if you see it and reshare it, perhaps it could increase the odds.

Do you have a link to your Google+ post?
