Apple's Black Friday comes to UK
In an effort to boost sales in the UK, Apple has extended its Black Friday offer outside of the US, promising to slash prices on a selection of its products.
Black Friday has been a retail tradition in the US for some time now - referring to the Friday after Thanksgiving when stores online and off cut prices to kickstart the beginning of the Christmas shopping season.
Apple customers will have already received an email promoting the one-off sale tomorrow. "You'll find lots of great iPod, iPhone and Mac gift ideas - all with free shipping," the message reads.
Any more details have been pretty unforthcoming, however, which is not really surprising given the usual secrecy an intrigue surrounding any Apple announcements.
Not to be outdone, however, Microsoft has announced it is partnering with eBay to make it easier for IE8 users to find "products at deep discounts" in the run up to Christmas.
Daily deals to be found on the popular online auction site will be displayed for users via the Internet Explorer 8 Web Slice - functionality in the new version of the browser which previews users' favourite sites.
Happy shopping.
