A blog for those like me, who are infatuated with all things Greek and appreciate the continuous change in communication and what it means to our daily lives.

Greeks Sing the iPad Blues

April 3, 2010 was an infamous day for early adapters. It was the Christmas Day to all Apple enthusiasts, the day the iPad was released. While many people ran out to buy them and even waited in ridiculously long lines filled with anticipation of getting their hands on the life changing device, others were not quite as fortunate.

I suppose Greece is not at the top of Apples list for distribution. One really can't blame them however considering, like Evans pointed out, it took Greeks a while to come around to the iPhone so Apple must have learned their lesson.

Michael Evans wrote an article about his friend Kostas’s venture for the iPad. Kostas’s morning started out like all other iPad groupies, he woke up early in hopes of soon enough becoming the proud owner of the tablet. Once he entered the store he was heartbroken to see one iPad for display only, none in stock, and worse yet, Kostas was told they would not be selling the iPad until the end of summer.

Sorry Greek Apple lovers, if it’s any consolation, it’s not that great.
