iPad minis begin trickling in…
iPad mini: The full-blown iPad that fits in one hand.
We once thought them to be a mythical creature, akin to the unicorn or the jackalope, but we’re now True Believers: the iPad mini is real.
And we even have some available for sale. Specifically, our Medford store has the 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB Wi-Fi models (only in black, and you may recall the LTE – AKA 4G – models won’t begin shipping until later this month).
Our Bend store has, at the time of this post, eight of the 32GB Wi-Fi models on hand — four in white, and four in black.
The iPad mini has been wildly popular and crazy-difficult to keep in stock. If you have holiday gifting plans built around one, you might want to act now. These are not going to be around for long.
UPDATE MONDAY, NOVEMBER 12: Our Bend location is down to two 32GB Wi-Fi models (both white). But our Medford location has all Wi-Fi models and colors in stock, with the exception of 16GB white.

Deal of the Week | Nov. 2nd, 2012
Week of November 2nd – 8th, 2012
BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND!
You know that horrible sinking feeling when you realize your iPhone or iPod is just about out of juice, and you don’t have your charger handy? Now, no matter where you are, you can keep your iOS device fully charged. A charger for home or office, a charger for the car, and a cable to fit either one. Works with most iPhones or iPods (except for the new iPhone 5 and the latest 5th-generation iPod touch, both of which use a new, incompatible 8-pin dock connector).
And at this price (just $7.99), how can you afford not to get one?
This offer runs from Friday, November 2nd to Thursday, November 8th, 2012, or while supplies last. Sorry, no rain checks.
Deal of the Week | Oct. 26th, 2012
Chances are, you have an iPod, iPhone, or iPad. If so, the chances are pretty good you’ve lost or worn out their USB cables a time or two. Apple charges $19 for their version of this cable. And the suggested retail for this compatible version is $14.99. When we first ran this offer back in June, the response was overwhelming. Customers kept asking if we could bring it back. So once again, this week you can stock up on these babies for a cool $2.99.
This offer runs from Friday, October 26th to Thursday, November 1st, 2012, or while supplies last. Please note these are the older 30-pin dock connector cables, and will not work with iPhone 5 or other devices using Apple’s new 8-pin connector. Sorry, no rain checks.
Whoa…full day for Apple at yesterday’s “a little more to show you” media event.
It looks like the pundits and the rumor sites got it mostly right.
Yesterday, Apple announced a Shrinky Dinked addition to their tablet family, the iPad mini (7.9-inch 1024 x 768 display versus the original’s 9.7-inch one, making for a pencil-thin form factor you can hold in one hand).
Apple also announced a new version of the 13-inch MacBook Pro, this time with a 2560 x 1600 Retina display. And they previewed a Kate Moss-thin revamp of the iMac (say goodbye to built-in SuperDrive, and hello to faster Intel Core quad-core processors, Thunderbolt, and an innovative hybrid storage system Apple calls Fusion Drive).

Apple’s iMac 1TB Seagate Hard Drive Replacement Program
NOTE: This program covers affected iMacs for three years after the first retail sale of the unit or until April 12, 2013, whichever provides longer coverage. Apple will continue to evaluate repair data and will provide further repair updates to this program as needed. If it has been more than three years since you purchased your qualifying iMac, please be sure you get your qualifying iMac checked in to our Service Department before it closes at 6 PM Friday, April 12th.
If you purchased (and registered) an iMac during 2009 to 2011, you probably received an email from Apple recently. According to Apple, “certain Seagate 1TB hard drives used in 21.5-inch and 27-inch iMac systems may fail. These systems were sold between October 2009 and July 2011.” (more…)
