Looking at gadgets and gizmos for the eldests ipad.
Went into the apple store, saw two things - a racing game, operated via iphone, iPad, ipod etc and a football which analysed movements, kicking styles etc again operated via iphone, iPad, ipod.
I noticed that there were limitations with regard to models they were compatible with, but despite the ipad2 and ipod not being listed on either, the salesman assured me, that both were compatible.
If they didn't work on the iPad or ipod, I had until 8th Jan to get an exchange/refund OR I could part-ex my iPad towards a new one.
I had my doubts and certainly didn't want a huffy 13 year old disappointed on Thursday morning, that his main present didn't work.
When the salesman went to the store room to get the products, I googled both and included iPad2 in the search bar.
Two seconds later and a quick look through FAQ's. I confirmed that neither worked on the models of ipod and iPad at home.
Just his iphone...
A rather disappointed salesman left to return to the storeroom after I pointed out his lack of product knowledge.
Mind, I now only have tonight and tomorrow to find an alternative for my huffy 13 year old...
This is why I don't want kids. haha
One thing about Apple stores I've never liked is the feeling that the staff are a bit too 'laid-back' in their work ethic. It can get annoying.
Someone hands them an item to pay for - they sit on a table and sort it out.
