Spring has finally started to arrive here in South Burlington. The trees are slowly budding, green grass is peeking through, and almost all of the snow piles have melted away. I’ve put away the winter coat for the time being—you never know up here—and have hopefully retired the snow boots for a while.I can’t wait to start riding the Burlington bike path along Lake Champlain.

The demand for iPad 2 in our stores has been incredible, and we’re still working to fill customer orders daily. We’re starting to see accessories for the iPad 2 become more available as well, so stop in and check out what we have to outfit your new device. The new line of MacBook Pro is is also hot, and we’ve had trouble keeping them on the shelves—and for good reason. The new machines simply blow away the previous generation and are capable of handling virtually anything you need to get done!

We have some cool new flavors of Chill Pill Mobile Speakers in all of our stores! White and reggae models landed recently, and have been really popular—come check ‘em out and pick up a pair!

This month we are holding our annual eWaste Recycling Events on Saturday, May 14th from 9 AM to 2 PM at National Life Insurance Headquarters in Montpelier, VT. and on Saturday May 21st from 9 AM to 2 PM at the Mall of New Hampshire in Manchester, NH. Come drop off all of your used and obsolete electronics that are piling up, and help keep hazardous waste out of landfills!! Click here for more information about eWaste.

We hope to see you in the store soon. Drop in and say Hi!

  • New & Improved Class Offerings!

    **Mac Basics:**

    Small Dog offers a Mac Basics class Sunday evenings, usually twice a month. This class is designed to help new Mac users make the transition from the PC world and even show existing Mac users some helpful tips and tricks. The class runs for an hour and half and is taught by an Apple Sales Professional at our South Burlington retail store.

    By the end of the class, customers will leave with the knowledge of how navigate their computers and how to perform basic computing tasks. Customers will also be shown the fundamentals of the applications included with each Mac and how they interoperate. Attendees will also learn the importance of backups and why the Mac is more productive and more fun to use than any PC.

    Beyond Mac Basics, one-on-one lessons and consultations are available both in-store and at home, for further help and instruction. Talk to any staff member for more details.

  • New Product: Apple Digital AV Adapter

    Although the “Apple Digital AV Adapter”:http://www.smalldog.com/product/77948/apple-digital-av-adapter/at_bis came out during the iPad 2 announcement, it will _also_ work with the 4th generation iPod touch, iPhone 4 and first generation iPad. The Digital AV adapter plugs into your device via the 30-pin dock connector. An added bonus is that there is a second 30-pin connector on this adapter which allows you to charge, and even sync, your compatible iOS device while viewing media on the big screen.

    When paired with your iPod touch (4th generation), iPhone 4, first gen. iPad or iPad 2, this nifty little adapter allows you to flaunt your media on your HDTV or HDMI-compatible screen. You can show off your vacation photos with a nice slideshow, or you can sit back and enjoy your newest iTunes movie rental.

    What *really* makes the adapter special is that when it’s paired up with iPad 2 it will mirror whatever you’re doing on the device (using an app, reading a book, surfing the web, etc) on your HDTV or HDMI compatible display. The iPad 2 supports up to 1080p and the first gen. iPad, iPhone 4 and 4th generation iPod touch support up to 720p. The Digital AV Adapter will also carry over digital audio to your HDTV or HDMI compatible display *if supported.*
