HP 2730p Tablet PC Getting a Refresh?

One of the best Tablet PCs I’ve ever used is the HP 2730p. The great construction combined with the thin convertible screen makes for a compelling tablet. The problem with the 2730p is that HP seems to have no desire to refresh the model, although an online slip by a school may indicate a refresh is forthcoming.

Mercy High School uses HP tablets on-site, and recently published a set of guidelines on how the program works. Of interest to those desiring a new tablet model is this little statement:

The Mercy Computing Package will be available from the Inacomp online store in May 2010. The designated HP 2740p tablet is not scheduled to be manufactured until Spring 2010. This is a non-consumer, professional model. This series of tablets are the only units which the Mercy IT Department services and supports in parts.

Of course, HP isn’t talking, but then it never does. To see how great the 2730p is, here’s a video I shot quite while back:
