The iPad 2 launched in the UK! http://randommel.com/2011/03/27/did-you-hear-the-ipad-2-launched-in-the-uk/ http://randommel.com/2011/03/27/did-you-hear-the-ipad-2-launched-in-the-uk/#comments Sun, 27 Mar 2011 18:17:22 +0000 admin http://randommel.com/?p=1048 Unless you’ve been underground, are a hobbit or just really very strange; you’re likely to know that Apple’s iPad 2 launched in the UK at 5pm on Friday. As part of my awesome new role at Jam (something I promise that I’ll blog about soon), I put on my roving reporter hat and went to check it out.

For full content, you should check out SpreadingJam.com which is Jam’s blog (the place I blog about marketing and cool stuff); however, I’ve also embedded the videos here for you.

I managed to interview Jewels Lewis who was the first in line at the Regent Street store. Covered by most of the press, Jewels made the headlines as he chose to miss his son’s 12 birthday. You can hear more here:

You’ll see from the picture below that the whole of Regent Street came to a halt. Buses were forced to swerve to miss the pedestrians in the road and huge raucous cheers could be heard each time a member of the queue entered into the store.

One thing’s certain, Apple sure know how to put on an event. Now where did I put my iPad? ;)
