First Person In The UK To Buy The New iPad In Store Is A Startup Guy
A startup entrepreneur has become the first person in the UK to buy the new iPad in store, two of them in fact. Chris Leydon, of Chartbeat competitor GoSquared (realtime web site analytics, see review), stood in line outside PC World on Tottenham Court Road which opened at midnight. A mere 5 minutes walk away in Regent Street, Apple's flagship UK store only opened at 8am this morning. I bet the huge queue of Mac fans outside the Apple store were more than a little annoyed... He even did an unboxing video.Chris showed some canny entrepreneurial skills in securing his two iPads. "I saw a rumour going around on Twitter that the PC World nearby would be opening at midnight, eight hours ahead of the Apple store. I phoned the PC World Press Office and the store itself and they confirmed."Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/VKtDNIZBud0/
