UK iPad 2 Release Date : Looking for Price and Great Discount - The iPad2 is officially being released to the masses in South Africa tomorrow 29th April… so just one more day and all you lot in SA can be as cool as me.The release comes seven weeks after the initial US release and just over a month after the 25 March UK release.
But ja, if you are thinking of getting an iPad 2, then go for it. I’ve had mine since the UK release date where I virtually had to threaten a salesman with his family and pets lives in order to get hold of it, but I got it… lucky for him :) Seriously though, it took weeks for me to pick my laptop up again… it still gets used but only for the big jobs now. Remember an iPad is still not a full blown PC… but its close :) As a Londoner, its use, especially on the train to and from the city everyday, has become a necessity for me… however as everyone pretty much drives in SA, I guess they would be more for home use. I will add though, that from a Blogger’s perspective they are a must have since many of the last blog posts you’ve read over the last couple weeks were all done from my iPad 2… sometimes even on my way to work… Also thanks to Google Maps and the GPS in the iPad 2, the Jen and I got around Cape Town without getting lost, bought our tickets for everything etc… Speaking of Cape Town, we were down at the V&A Waterfront, I popped into the Apple Store there and enquired about an SD Card Reader for my iPad 2… the “know it all geek” gave a little smirk and said that the iPad 2 wasn’t in SA yet… so I just had to… I took it out my bag… the dude almost had a little party in his pants :) …shame :)
