Absolute Gadget

It appears that this Friday will be the day for picking up an iPod for Christmas, as Apple seem to be importing the American custom of "Black Friday".

Black Friday is something of a longstanding tradition in the U.S. The Friday after Thanksgiving, it is marked by retailers offering huge discounts and deals to get turkey-stuffed shoppers off the sofa and the Christmas money flowing in.

And now it seems Apple want to let Brits in on the mad dash for bargains, with the European office releasing a teaser declaring, "Lots of gifts. One day not to miss." If the teaser is accurate, the discounts seem to apply to pretty much all of Apple's range.

Shame they couldn't have held it off until the VAT cut on Monday, really...
