Ipad 2 in stock, but only at Orange?

I think there’s something fishy going on, I’ve now spent 3 weeks running around and calling stored to find out about ipad 2 stocks and each week I’ve been given hope by stores and then nothing.

On one of my encounters at Jonn Lewis in High Wycombe, I asked a one member of staff and she told me that 20 ipads came in that day and sold that day, I went on to ask another sales assistant and he explained that apparently they don’t get ipad 2 deliveries on a Saturday, which didn’t add up to what his colleague told me a few minutes earlier.

Now I say I think there’s something fishy going on because, on my ipad 2 hunting days I realized that phone shops such as Fones4U had them in stock but would only sell them on locked networks, even though you’re expected to pay full price for the ipad unless you took out a contract.

I then decided to contact a friend who worked at Orange and he kept me posted on how much stock they where getting. It’s unbelievable, while there’s no stock to be found in any high street electrical stores including the Apple store, which yesterday said they have ipad 2’s but only the wifi versions, there was still stock coming into Orange mobile phone shops every other day, even today I got a call tell me there’s 10 ipads that just came into stock, so I called other stores such as John Lewis, PC World but they still have nothing.

So my question is, how comes Apple is delivering to Orange and not others? I know my friends not bullshitting, I’ve gone and seen the stock myself, the only reason I can’t go for the ones there are because they are locked to Orange and second I refuse to have a credit check done on an item which is on Pay As You Go and I’m paying full price for it.

**For people who are searching to find out if the ipad 2 is locked on Orange, the answer is YES and they're not very willing to unlock them, I reckon Orange should be reported to Apple, its not fair they charge full price on an Ipad and do a credit check on the customers while selling them a Pay As You Go Sim and then they have the cheek to lock the ipad to their own network**

Brown is the new Black

The last couple of years saw a rise in cars being released in white. It’s a cool colour but it’s starting to get boring. So it’s good news to see that 2010 seems to be bringing new hues into the market; the most popular seems to be shades of Brown. As always fashion trends always go full circle, so seeing brown cars reminds me of my dad’s car back when I was just 8 years old, he use to drive a chocolate brown Ford Escort. As I got older I remember joy riding around in a brown Mini Metro, luckily I never got caught. The first brown car I saw was the Audi R8 Spyder, which looked amazing. As more cars got released with the new 10 registration plate it seems it’s the new trend and Brown has become the new black. My favourite new car in brown is the Porsche 997 Turbo Cabriolet, followed closely by the Audi R8 Spyder. I’ve even seen an Audi A3 in a really dark brown colour which I loved. The most affordable brown car I would go for would be the Citroen DS3; I should p...

Kent Zoo, Best Tourism Experience in England

I’ve never bothered going to London Zoo, as I don’t like the idea of going to see animals from the wild in middle of a concrete city. My first ever trip to the Zoo was a drive up North, to one of London Zoo’s partners, Whipsnade Zoo which is near Luton. Even though it was a little less city like, I absolutely loved my time there and since have been planning to go back. Until now...I recently discovered Port Lympne, which is a Kent Zoo that’s actually closer to London then Luton and it’s based in the Garden of England, Kent! Port Lympne is more of a Wild Life Park in Kent and has a wonderful mixture of animals from all over the world. The park is run by the Aspinall Foundation a charity which does a wonderful job of looking after endangered species such as the Bengal Tiger and Black Rhino . There’s animal there I’ve never even heard of, which makes it more exciting to go visit this brilliant wild life park. Recently Port Lympne has been voted England’s best touri...

Mmmm Maybach Coupe

I’ve always seen the Maybach as an over-rated Mercedes. Even with its amazing luxury interior, modern technology and such extras as the assist button which can be used at anytime to get help finding the closest Italian Restaurant or whatever you may be looking for. I prefer the Bentley Arnage or Rolls Royce Phantom when it comes to looks. But these are cars you don’t buy to drive; you buy them to get driven around in. Personally I’d rather be in the driver’s seat and definitely not to drive someone around, I don’t think they’ll enjoy the luxuries at the speeds I plan to drive. This brings me to the new Maybach Coupe. At first glance I thought wow; this is the most attractive Maybach I’ve ever seen. Researching further I realised that this is actually a regular Maybach 57 which is being modified by a company called Xanatec with approval from Mercedes Maybach. The car looks a lot like a stretched out version of a Bentley Continental. But unlike the Bentley which h...
