Anyone after the cheap HP touchpads?

How strange, they get the same consumer's rights. Must be a mistake. Better contact Simon Power!

its highly unethical for staff to take advantage of a shop special and buy all the stock before customers have the opportunity, management are to blame for letting it happen, heads should roll, floggings etc. Low wages are no excuse

It would be unethical for them to get it at a discounted price. They didn't. They paid the same any other consumer would have, so they don't even count as staff sales. The price was NOT advertised.

THIS could explain why you can't find them anymore...

"Hewlett-Packard has announced it will discontinue the TouchPad tablet computer and phones, just over a week after the tablet launched in New Zealand.

HP said the tablet and phones, which used its own WebOS software, had failed to catch on with consumers.

The company cut the price of the tablet in New Zealand last week, slashing the cost of the 16GB version to $679 from $799 and the 32GB version from $949 to $819.

The Dominion Post had previously reported Kiwi shoppers would pay 40 per cent more than consumers in the United States for the TouchPad, once the exchange rate was factored in."
