There were two apple employees in line to buy iPads. Then another came out the store and nudged them, they then left the line...hmm

Sounds like they have stock. No?
 
Easton (Columbus) only received 6 today. :\ He said they're expecting shipments every day, with more quantities coming as the week progresses, and also that they'd be opening at 9am all week
 
Here at Lenox and they don't have any iPads yet. They're handing out claim tickets but aren't really guaranteeing anything. Think I'm going to hang around.

I hope so but it doesn't look likely now...first the check stock tomorrow sign and then the apple employees leaving the line. And now a girl just came out and said no stock
 
i wonder if briarwood in MI will get any. i'm not gonna wait in line if they may not even get a shipment...
 
Went to the Apple Store in Clarendon this morning around 7:30 for the 9am early iPad sale. Was about 30th in line and by 8:15 there were easily 100. Around that time the business manager came out, told us that she appreciated our time and the fact we were waiting in the cold, but that they had NO iPads. None. And they weren't expecting any today, either.

Maybe tomorrow?

Afaik, apple store employees don't know what they're getting. They say no iPads because they don't want people who aren't buying anything at the time to take up two hours of real estate. Ignoring them and waiting til shipment comes in (around 11 here) is all you can really do.

I'm the only one in line at the freehold Nj apple store. No idea if they're opening early, no idea if they have any. But I had errands to run out here anyway so no biggie. Will wait it out.
 
I'm here at the 5th Av store and there is NO line. Of course the employees say they have no iPads and don't know when they'll get more.

Funny thing though, there are so many chinese folks hanging around... I've been here a bunch of times, never seen so many in the store.
 
Does anyone really think that distribution centers forward a list every day of what is coming in the next shipment? I don't think so.

About 100 people in line at the Apple store West 14th NYC. They're out here warning people they don't know if there will be enough to go around. There are only white in 16, 32, and 64 and the only 3G model is the VZ 64.

I'm seeing some people drop out of line. I'm sticking around a bit longer just in case they revise the stock estimate and some black AT&T models pop up. Not very hopeful.

If they have a Black 64GB ATT can you buy it? I can give you cash later today for it. PM me.
 
Indianapolis

Checking in from Indy. Maybe 15 people in line right now. An employee just came out and said that they won't have any today. I don't believe it.

Lol yea sure I'll just pull out the extra $900 I keep in my pocket and buy you, my oldest friend, an iPad.

Wow what a waste of time. Love Apple's sneaky marketing. They got their long line before and they want more? I guess I'll just wait until stock fills up and go at a normal time
 
I was at the Apple Store in Towson, MD and they were open, but they said they had no ipads, and wouldn't be getting any today. She did tell me they probably would get some tommorow and to try back then.

I was the only customer there.
