I read recently (HERE) that the iPad has become the fastest growing electronic device in the history of the world (outpacing the DVD player). So how in the hell can Apple improve upon a product already breaking sales records across the world (selling a little over 8 MILLION iPads since it started, this year)?
Make it even more available… duh! Today Apple announced a new partnership with BOTH AT&T and Verizon stores. I’ll have the full breadth of both Press Releases at the end of this article… but in a nutshell: You will be able to purchase all 3 iPad styles (Wi-Fi & 3G) at over 2,200 AT&T stores… and all 3 iPad styled (Wi-Fi Only) at over 2,000 Verizon Wireless stores; both start October 28th (yeah, as in 14 days). Essentially, Apple just gave you more than 4,200 additional locations to pick up their iPad.
Ummmm… genius! Jobs doesn’t get that mock-turtleneck just for the hell of it!!
