David and I passed through Amsterdam a month or so back to meet with Motorola and Cap Gemini. Being the eager geeks we are, we tried to track down iPods at Schipol airport to take advantage of tax-free prices. None in stock. In the entire airport. And this is a big airport.
Fast-forward to today. I queued for 10 minutes in the electronics store to find out whether they had any in stock or not. Same message: “sold out”.
Are they selling like hot cakes, or are Apple just crap at meeting demand?
(Apparently they are ~ £250 for the 40gb version. Hmm. And they won’t have any in stock on my return journey, so I’m told. This is probably a Good Thing.)
Oh, and re: my previous post – John says you get 60274.68 lei to the pound. But damnit, I’m still a multi-millionaire over here, so hush!
