And just like a bad dream, it’s over before you know it. The HTC Magic is back on sale at Vodafone. Although at the time of writing, the website is still reporting content unavailable.

Just what would cause a company like Vodadone to completely withdraw a product from the market for 24hrs? Your guess is as good as mine. It’s obviously nothing technical. Vodafone is being tight lipped about the reasons behind the withdrawal.

One thing I do know: whoever ordered the takedown has never heard of the Streisand effect.

Then again, maybe they have? There wasn’t a lot of press coverage around the launch. Was this one giant publicity stunt to give the Magic a free boost?
