Dear Friends,

If you haven’t seen the new iPad Air yet, you should really check it out. I have spent some time with it this past week, testing cases and getting iPads set up for customers here at our store in Key West. It is simply amazing — blazing fast, super light and thin. I compared it to the original iPad 1 with a customer, and we were both amazed at how much the iPad has changed in such a short time. We quickly sold out of our initial allocation of the iPad Air but have more in stock now, so stop in at any of our stores for a first-hand look!

It has been fun working in this newest and smallest of the Small Dog stores, meeting customers and getting ourselves established in this community. Hammerhead has been the official store greeter and seems to like it here, too. It is a bit of a new experience to greet customers in bathing suits at the store, but this is Key West, so going with the flow is the name of the game. There are lots of friendly customers and the store is off to a great start. I am pleased to report that Taylor Amon will be joining the Key West crew. Taylor will be moving from Vermont in a couple weeks to join our team here.

The Chill Pill Audio newest speaker, the Chill Box, is popular down here. With great sound, battery life and Bluetooth connectivity, this portable speaker is perfect for so many uses. Grace and I carry one with us when we travel, and watch movies on my MacBook Pro or we take it with us to the beach. I even used it this summer in my Austin Healey. For only $99.99, it is a very nice portable speaker and a great gift for the holidays!
