Currys and PC World to sell iPads on UK launch day
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 25 May 2010
So, as you probably know, Apple’s iPad goes on sale in the UK on Friday, with prices from £249.
According to the Times, Currys and PC World will be selling the much hyped tablet device as well as the UK’s Apple Stores. It’s thought the DSGi-owned chains have a two month exclusivity agreement with Apple, meaning they will be the only places other than Apple’s own shops where you can buy the new device.
That said, there are rumours that the UK’s first Best Buy store in Thurrock will also stock the gadget as of Friday. So, who knows? All I know for certain is that Apple’s latest flim flam is quite a bit smaller than I’d expected. And, as much previously reported, it doesn’t, as yet, offer any real new music-based functionality over existing Apple portable devices.
