HP Touchpad Update

Below are quotes from a hp.com link at http://h20435.www2.hp.com/t5/The-Next-Bench-Blog/More-TouchPads-on-the-Way/ba-p/68749

"Despite announcing an end to manufacturing webOS hardware, we have decided to produce one last run of TouchPads to meet unfulfilled demand."

Does that mean HP will stop making its TouchPad after its final run? I think yes if nothing else was said but read what followed:

"Q: Can you comment on whether HP had to manufacture more to meet the recent demand?

"HP will be manufacturing a limited quantity of TouchPads with webOS during our fourth fiscal quarter 2011, which ends October 31." (Emphasis added)

Does that mean HP may manufacture a Touchpad using another operating system or will no Touchpad phoenix arise from the ashes of the webOS Touchpad?

I still think a TouchDroid is a good idea. A Google-HP business deal is not antitrust, is it? Apple may think so though.
