Hey everyone - happy Good Friday (for those who it off work!)
Well I succumbed to the marketing hype and pre-ordered an iPad to pick up from Crabtree Valley Mall tomorrow. I was expecting to be able to walk in and get it, but from speaking to some friends they're telling me to expect long lines and waiting - which is not my strong point!
Has anyone got any experience of how long these are likely to be. Of course, nobody knows for sure, but any experience based on iPhones or any other marketing hype from Apple that fools like me bought into
It will be CRAZY! It will be really long. I'll be waiting until August for my birthday to get one. Make sure you bring something to keep you occupied in line and GOOD LUCK!
-I bought an iPhone right before the new one came out and it was still a bit of a wait. My boyfriend got the new one a few days after it came out and we waited about an hour at Southpoint.
I'd get over there right now!! Take some s'mores, and send us updates from your i-phone, please!! Kidding...I hate it for you. Maybe it won't be all that bad.
My husband ordered one for his birthday tomorrow but opted to have it shipped to the house...I'd bring supplies if you plan on standing in line. Last time Apple came out with something new last year, we went to the mall for other things and the line was loooooooooooong! Good luck!
Long lines if you pre-ordered? Really? I can see if you're trying to just buy from the stock onhand, but it would seem if you pre-ordered, you would just be able to show your proof of purchase and move through relatively quick. But I never buy anything tech toys on launch anyway. I usually wait for the early adopters to find all the bugs, and for the first price break
i dont like macs. im happy with my ipod. i certainly dont want a giant ipod that i cant use most places, and i dont want a little computer that i have to type on a touchscreen. this seems like the stupidest invention, but because it has that piece of fruit on it everyone will want one.

you're probably right, but I am a sucker for gadgets! That said, people just hating "Apple" for what they are seems a bit odd to me - I've only just got my first mac and it's been a learning curve (often frustrating!). However I can recognize intelligent design when I see it, and I respect them for that - even if it is lacking in some areas
That said, queuing up for hours ain't my idea of fun, and I'll just wait if the lines are mad!!
