There are people for everything. And more when it comes to reviewing the anecdotal of the first day of launch of an Apple device. And it is that the premieres of iPad, iPhone and company are appointments loaded with battles, among which there have been deeds of love, madness, the odd eccentricity and, often, business. Such is the case with what happened with Amanda Foote. We are talking about the girl who patiently saved her place in the queue of those who wanted to buy an iPad 2 at the Apple flagship in New York, managing to position herself at the top of the line.
It was a total of 41 hours, almost two days of spartan waiting for those who wanted to get an iPad 2 before anyone else. However, an important twist awaited in this story, and it seems that Amanda Foote had no intention of getting an edition of this tablet with which Apple once again hit the market table. She was actually lining up to buy tickets to see Lady Gaga...
And is that even though Amanda Foote only slept only three hours and stoically endured rain, wind and cold, his quest had very little heroic and much professional. We say this because this girl had the support of a not disinterested patron, who from time to time brought her food and drink. It was an application developer named Hazem Sayed who, when the Apple store opened, relieved Foote from the top spot in exchange for a brand-new $ 900 (about 645 euros, at current exchange rates).
The intention of the girl at all times was to earn a little money to be able to pay for a Lady Gaga concert in style, so that for a 41-hour day she managed to earn that salary. In total, just under 16 euros per hour in intense day schedule. Do you think it's worth it?
