Will these be hidden behind the cash registers (as I've discovered before for small items) or will they be on shelf display then?

As far as I'm aware they will be behind the desk

I'm surprised that I'm the only lunatic waiting

Queueing outside aldi at 8am...not sure if that's dedication or craziness

jellyboy · 08-12-2013 9:16am

They are being ticketed ...
I'm number 4 in the queue ,but there is nobody else here....

There is only 8 per store ...

I'm glad that I have managed to get up from my fluffy cotton sheets and feather down quilt to wait in the greyness

Little feckers better enjoy and want them !:D

Complete and utter craziness
I actually have a cert that says that

I think it's given at birth in Cork

whiskeyman · 08-12-2013 9:55am

Feck... was just gonna head down around 9:45.
Fingers crossed!

madmoe · 08-12-2013 10:01am

Depending on where you live and the number of staff in store that snaffle them ..
Staff where I am have got 4 of the 8
I say that with 99.9 percent certainty as I'm 5/6 and there is not a sinner around me ..

Plus I want to know that other lunatics are queueing in solidarity with moi

My daughter got something similar to one of these (Onyx branded) in Oz last year. She said they had at least a hundred people queuing to get one then. I'm here since 8:30, still the only one - should have stayed in bed longer. Although got to see a nice sunrise;-)

finglas has none. I was there around 11 and was asked out of curiosity. people there before it opened.
I did get a solar system for my sons bedroom though.... way better than a tablet:)

morgana · 08-12-2013 1:29pm

What a joke though - I will never understand why they advertise heavily and then only have a few in stock. Why bother if you are most likely not get one and then just get annoyed ?

Super hoop · 08-12-2013 1:45pm

I got 2.

And they both seem to be working.

Got one in Aldi Coolock at about 10:30. There was one in the display cabinet that they had overlooked and they'd been telling people that they were sold out.

7" is a good compromise between portability and size.

To get people into their stores, and then sell them some other crap or groceries

lucky333 · 08-12-2013 3:27pm

4 or 5 per store? What a load of bollix

trad · 08-12-2013 3:30pm

I got the Goclever one in Tesco. With money off vouchers and staff discount €65 and no queuing around an hour ago.

Did you read the thread title? Is there anything to indicate that this item will be sold by Tesco? Do you imagine for a moment that Tesco would give a 3 year guarantee on anything they sold?
No is the short answer.
