1125966 2010-08-09 08:12:00 Got a customer (business) who wants one to try out for their on-the-road staff.

We're just after a 16GB WiFi model at the moment for testing purposes, but ideally want somewhere that's in-stock tomorrow (10th Aug).

Anybody know anywhere ?

1125968 2010-08-09 08:28:00 It would seem DSE are out of the 16 everywhere in the country. You could try Magnummac

1125970 2010-08-09 10:06:00 If you Google ipad 16gb wifi model - but look at the sponsored Google ads, store apple NZ and price spy list them - may not be actually true though... kahawai chaser (3545)
1125971 2010-08-09 20:24:00 Yeah apparently DSE stores *do* have them in stock, just not updated on the website, same goes for MagnumMac. Rather odd I thought, surely if you had such a highly desired product in-stock, you would tell people, so they didn't think they'd have to wait 2-4 days for you to get it in?! :-/

Will see how I go later today :)

1125972 2010-08-09 20:47:00 if a business person can get away with using an iPad they're probably not doing much real work :) nmercer (3899)

It's for techs on the road to fill in data after they've completed jobs, and send back to head office with the details for processing into the CRM system.

They tried with Blackberries / iPhones in the past, but found the screen size and input the inhibiting factor. Hopefully the 10" screen will change that! :-)

I doubt that the staff will complain getting what is quite possibly *the* most desired piece of hardware (by the masses) this year :D
