The Coast & The iPad

The Coast & the iPad

The Coast appears on some of the first iPads sold in Dorset!

PC World, at Mallard Road Retail Park, enjoyed a memorable weekend of sales following the arrival of Apple Mac's pioneering i-Pad.

When the shop opened at 9am on Friday May 28th, customers were waiting eagerly to see, trial and purchase the new "slate" product.

The first unit was sold by 9.15am and the shop had completely sold out of more than 50 units by Sunday morning.

PC World had the i-Pad as an exclusive in Bournemouth and stocks six models including 16, 32 and 64 gig slates that were also available in 3-G.

General manager Brian Hauston told The Coast: "We have been so excited by the arrival of the i-Pad. There isn't another product like it and the reaction that it received from PC World customers was unbelievable. We had three demo stations in operation and on Saturday there actually were cues for trials almost to the door - the units, which are 11" long with a 9.5" high res LED back-lit touch-screen include built in wireless.

Don't forget, The Coast iPhone app is also compatible with the iPad.
