UK iPad launch “Probable sell out”

Posted by in News

It looks like the iPad launch will be a sell out. I visited 2 stores in my local area a Currys and PC World, none of which were stocking the iPad!

When I did get to the next nearest PCWorld (Guildford) I was greeted by the sight of a mixture of 40 or so queuing to get their hands on an iPad.

I spoke to an assistant he advised that the store had received approximately 180 iPad units, of all types. He could not disclose how many of each model unfortunately. After the initial queue was dealt with there has been a steady stream of iPad purchases and they do expect to sell out completely today. As I left the store at around 9:15am there was a queue forming to demo the iPad and also 3 people paying for iPads.

One other piece of news, iPad accessories are half price when purchased with an iPad at PC world. Im not sure how long this offer will last.

I walked out with a 2nd iPad for my Girlfriend as she’s been using mine so much and also 2 Belkin ClearScreen Overlays at half price. I’ll get a review of this up very soon.

Hope you got your iPad if you went shopping for one today!
