Yes, Yes, I Want a New iPhone

Yes, yes!!!  I want the new iPhone… so logging onto the www.Apple.com web site, the process of “pre-ordering” the new iPhone 4.0 began at 8:00AM, sharp.  Encountering my first series of questions:  new service or replacing existing? answer – Replacing existing.  Next, Apple must check eligibility for my AT&T account. Answering the three validation questions, the spiral wheel began a turning.  Turning it did for minutes, which then turned into five, which turned into fifteen, at which point the program was left running in the background as my attention turned to the work load of the morning.  Occasionally checking… spiral wheel still turning.  (more…)

Caveat Emptor @ BestBuy

Ad Circular in PostCourier 05/23/2010

Negative comments surfaced again this week regarding BestBuy’s selling practices and alleged misrepresentation of “sales” items as those having a discounted price.  Last Sunday’s Post Courier included a sales circular from BestBuy (depicted above) offering for sale a MacBook computer at a price of $999.99.  Visiting Apple’s web site, we noted that: a) Apple discontinued that unit for a newer model on May 11^th, b) the replacement model with its newest features and design is available for the same price as BestBuy discontinued model, c) for about $200 less, the MC207LL/A is available elsewhere on the internet.     (more…)

iPadness (iMadness)

iPad Pickup Line

The atmosphere was similar to a “Dismmercial” concert (i.e. Miley Cyrus and the ones before her), wherein the staff appearing before the concert’s start begin leading the crowd with cheers, hi-fives, and other celebratory efforts.  Placed in two lines (those having pre-registered and those wishing to purchase), you were introduced to your Apple Store salesperson and escorted into nirvana where an iPad purchase was possible.  Coffee, water and constant staff contact was provided while future iPad owners stood in line.  (more…)
