Team Bottosso Storm NYC!
May 4, 2010 No comments yet
With the UK release date for the iPad still mired in uncertainty, we certainly weren’t planning on risking our reputation as Apple fanatics. The only answer to our dilemma (“OMGmusthaveiPadplsplsnow?!”), we concluded, was to fly out there and get our hands on a bunch of the things – right on the launch date – from the Apple flagshop store on swanky 5th Avenue, NYC. We had an amazing time, and thought we’d share some of the snaps from our whirlwind tour with you all!

- Running off to the Met was one of the primary missions for some of our team members – for others, the prospect was a fate worse than having the iPhone OS 4 beta 2 forcibly installed on their phone for all time. Their loss!

- The very typical NY diner where we had our breakfast each morning. A little glimpse of Mr. Bottosso himself in the corner, there!

The final crucial detail remaining: did we storm NYC after all? Well, we’re primarily lovers, not fighters, so no, not really. We did come back with a whole load of iPads, though!
