Re: IPad in Spain
My wife has been out for some 'black Friday' shopping today at our local Mediamarkt and tried to hide a box from me, but it looks like I'm getting a tablet for Christmas.
The daft thing is that I've already bought her one for Christmas, and sneaked a cheap one in for myself at the same time.
Our Mediamarkt puts everything into English if you ask them to, but for a small charge. They speak English, they have to, most of their customers speak English and they're a stroppy lot - they have a large choice of Spanish outlets and will soon go to the one next door if English isn't spoken in the one they're in.
It's a bit sad really.

Re: IPad in Spain
My wife has the iPad 2 and does everything it should (apparently, she won't let me near it). Although I loath giving even more money to these big companies I have to say that Apple products always look the most attractive. On another note that Steve Jobs book is a good read if anyone has a spare couple of weeks (it's rather large), or it would make a good door stop!

If you are happy with the price and the credentials of the supplier buy it.
You will still get the Apple warranty.

Re: IPad in Spain
I don´t know sometimes it is the old saying that "if it is too good to be true, it is" or something like that. How do they sell it at that price and Amazon don´t?

I would say that even if you bought it from Amazon themselves your no more protected if something goes wrong.
I said earlier in the thread about a mate of mine who bought a iPad and PC World only gave the 1 yr warranty, She took it to a Apple shop and they refused to help, prolly laughing behind her back, I told her to enforce the 2yr EU Rule.
If that seller guarantees that Apple will fulfill the warranty, you cant go wrong but sometimes Apple (and they have been fined for it) wont fulfill, but you never know the seller if like me would be better to deal with than Amazon or Apple themselves, you get good and bad sellers, + Third party sellers like us also sell on Prime.
The law is the seller not the manufacturer is responsible, I don't want to rattle on anymore.
