It wasn't for employees. It was a link to the normal HP shop. It was "dodgy" only because it was priced incorrectly.

Who to say the wholesaler didn't buy up a batch of £89 tablets from someone like Babs?
Mine is backorder payment open ETA:16/09/2011
So why didn't DSG do this and circumvent HP's terms? It would be the first thing to come to my head.
100% more than you need to, and also if it gets broken at £200, then there's slim to none chance of you getting a replacement
This is how I see it.... Of course it's 100% more. They were available at 100% less, so obviously you paid 100% more.

Remember the 'fake' We Are Electricals sale that they blamed on Equanet keeping back for their staff? Well, this was actually true. Equanet offered the devices to their staff on Friday (I know someone who works there) on a 1-per person offering. Equanet then sold their remaining 16GB models at 10:30am this morning for £74.17+VAT (so £89). I called at 11:45 and they had just sold out. Not too bothered as I already have one

lets say you had £200 to spend on a tablet, would you get the Touchpad 32GB or is there anything else better in that price bracket?

Mine showed (touchpad 16gb) until I phoned them and they said it was cancelled then it went to {TPL.IDorderdetail.itemname} and they cancelled the paypal payment

Why did no one hear about this or post it?

Exactly my thoughts. Can only assume that since it was already sold out by the time the poster caught wind that there was little point is stirring us all up.
True.
I'm also beginning to think there are a lot more Touchpads floating about. Every day we hear "That's it. NO MORE!!", but yet every day some retailer manages to sell like 600 more.... I honestly don't know what to believe anymore.....

It'd still be a touchpad.
The touchpad is realistically a £250 tablet - anything less makes it a good deal. The lower the price the better the deal ofc

it is under warranty and HP have said they will honour all warranties, and the ones that arrived faulty on HOtdeals HP have told them they either repair or replace.
I am not entirly sure I agree with you, as 3 weeks ago it was £400, ok so now it is £89...
I can not remember where I heard it but I read somewhere where they wrote the value of something is what people are willing to pay for it, not what the person before them paid for it.
I think I have paid exact market value as we currently stand
