Buyers lined up before dawn and they’re been lining up all day. The apple ipad came to Canada today in a moment it looks what makes it so special. But first, Kirk William at apple store downtown. Kirk.


Tony, this is what ipad at, just look CBC’s website here. If you cann’t this way, maybe I can adjust it for you, then it should come back, maybe. No? Yes. Here we go. This is what people’s after, now it’s available in Canada, was available in United States last month, but now Canada and eight other countries have access to this. In Germany the lineups were orderly; in Tachsabi, Japan, they waited all night, begin by cheering sales people. And in Vancouver here too, they waited, passing the time waiting for an ipad by listening to ipods. Ipads are the next big thing, a bigger screen too, but no keyboard, no mouse , no phone or camera. You cann’t brows the web, send email, watch vedieo, listen to music and read ebook. What ipods did for music, people hopes ipad will do for books.

“I really looking forward to going home and reading some books. And some most people are getting to find a new way to read a book, I guess.”

And ipads a lot easier to read from, because of their size.

“It can do lots of thins I can see here while I cann’t see this(cell phone).”

One last of the round of bloss, some photos and staff got ready for the sale. Doors are slow open and store quickly filled the shoppers, and it wasn’t too long before some of them emergied with the price.

“I have it, I’m so excited.”

These are not the hard call, must be the first to own ipad folkers, those already went to the states when ipad was launch their in April, eager to shop out after 100 dollars with the top models.

“Kirk, how many did apple sale today?”

Well, they’re keeping that closely guarded secret. We made it several attempt try to talk to apple to see how many they sold. You know, this store that they sold out one with the a fewer Gega bytes, some of the cheaper models, the $900 ones are still there available. But we know in united states they sold 300,000 on the first day and so far they sold over 1 million. Tony.
