Not sure if anyone has picked this up yet

Having quite some time to kill at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport yesterday due to the ash cloud over Europe, I had plenty of time to peruse the not so great Duty Free prices when lo and behold I saw an iPad for sale.

Price was €799 (euro) for the 16GB version which is not exactly a bargain...

I'll upload the photo as soon as I have figured out how to do this.....

I am very much hoping that this is not the price that Apple will actually be selling the iPad for when it is officially launched.
 
Prices of electronics at Schiphol have never been good anyway in the 15 years that I have been transiting thru it. And they certainly gauge on this one knowing the iPad hasn't been released in Europe yet... :)
 
Here is the iPad for sale:

I love Amsterdam. I've been there 3 times, only on vacation, never thought about buying electronics at Schipol. Interesting they have an iPad though :).

I wish I needed to go there for work :-(.
 
not sure what is going on with the pics - it seems to have rotated 180o in the uploading process - doesn't matter what I do it seems to put it upside down... :confused:
 
I'm transiting to Amsterdam Airport in the next few days?

any idea of their current stock and prices ?

cheers

I don't think the airport will have an authorized apple reseller inside the terminal, what I do know is that come friday the iPad will be available in the Netherlands, I guess if your there you'll be able to get one.

Prices range from 499€ to 799€ depending on the model.
 
Can I just say off-topic I love Amsterdam. Been there 3 times for vacation only. Love it. Amsterdam + iPad must equal awesomeness.
 
Sir,

are you able to ship the above product to Nigeria, where the Ministry of National Intellectual Institution for Intelligence is wishfully waiting for your quick reply.

Payment of $5000 USD dollar have been allocated to you by the Minister himself and will be immediately sent upon proof of postage.


:) (Sorry, I just couldn't resist).
