St Vincent Street, Glagow. Thanks to Martin Duggan.

Brummies lovin' it too

Rather less ecstatic in PC World, Warren Street where staff outnumber punters

Meanwhile in Milan, Italy. Sent to us by this Italian blog.

The iPad will change your life

Easy people...

... you gotta remember that for a lot of these people this is a major event and highlights like this probably only happen once every few years for them.

Take the guy in the last pic, that's the sort of smile that says "I haven't been this happy since I saw that picture of a naked lady 4 years ago".

Damn...

it makes me wish I'd planned a day off in Brum. I'd have opened a stall up next to the Apple store and sold lives...

I'll get me (fireproof) coat...

I live by the fairly simple rule that

if the queue reaches out the front door, I walk away.

Can't think why people find these product launches so compelling. If they've never used the item before, 1 more week without it isn't going to kill them.
