others hoping to loosen Apple’s stranglehold on the tablet computing market.

The main Google Android tablets, made by Samsung and Motorola, are pitched at around the same £400-ish price point as the iPad. But, put together with all the other Android tablets, it’s estimated they are outsold by Apple’s devices eight to one.

Mr Schmidt told the Edinburgh Television Festival yesterday that Google "loves" Britain and would pay more tax if it were legally required to do so. He said the company's hands were tied by Britain's low tax demands.

"It is true we could pay more tax but we would have to do so voluntarily. It's called paying the legally minimum amount of tax required," he said.

Best Buy, the electronics retailer, cut the price of the TouchPad to $99 in an attempt to clear its stock. Best Buy was last week reported to have more than 200,000 of the tablets. The low price brought queues outside its stores and, according to one staff employee, a “stampede” from customers hoping to land a bargain.

HP's decision to discontinue its TouchPad product, Best Buy will now provide clearance pricing for all TouchPad 16GB and 32GB models regardless of previously advertised prices or promotions," Best Buy said. The company said that anyone who had bought a TouchPad after June 19 would be entitled to a refund.

Though Amazon.com has not discounted the TouchPad, the device still went to the top of Amazon’s bestselling electronics chart. The HP tablet took the top two places in the chart, ahead of Amazon’s Kindle ebook reader, which is usually a fixture at number one.

HP’s $1.2 billion investment in webOS persuaded me that it was in the tablet race for the long haul. I defended the company’s move to sell the TouchPad at a discount and even bought one, only to find out days later that I was wrong: HP wasn’t selling the tablet at low prices to expand the user base quickly and help attract developers. HP apparently gave the TouchPad only a brief chance to gain an audience.
