Thousands go iMad for Apple’s new gadget – but not all will get one as the iPad is rationed
It is the kind of hysteria usually reserved for the release of Harry Potter books and Wimbledon tickets.
Thousands are queueing through the night to get their hands on Apple’s ‘Jesus tablet’- the iPad. But suppliers warned that many would be disappointed, because Apple is rationing shipments of the device to Britain and some shops will not receive any stock until September.
Apple stores were due to open at 8am, with desperate customers expected to queue outside overnight.
Such was the anxiety about getting hold of the gadget that one buyer paid an assistant to wait in line for him during the chilly night hours.
