Apple Store Opening Early for iPad-only Sales

I was going to offer you extra cash on top of the $900 for it. But thanks anyway for the sarcasm.
Seems like a lot of bunk. I'm at my apple store and the manager said they heard nothing of a 2nd launch. They open most days at 8am anyhow. He told me to hang out till 10 but it was still a longshot. They have a huge sign out front that says no iPads today but to ask how you can get one tomorrow.
Just called the Apple Store in Richmond, VA. They did open an hour early at 9:00!...but they haven't gotten any shipments since their first. Obviously, he told me they didn't know when they would get more when I asked...I might make a trip at lunch time just in case a shipment shows up this morning.
When I spoke to an employee yesterday in Buffalo he said that when shipments arrive during they day they're usually ready for opening the next morning. I don't know if he just didn't want me hanging around for the next several hours, or if other Apple stores are planning to sell them as soon as the skids come in.
This whole "we're opening early" but no iPads is bizarre.
Why open early at all?
Some posted that Apple was training employees this morning so could that be the reason?
They wouldn't open early to train people I think. I feel like the doors would stay closed for that.
7th in line. Just hoping they have some and it's what we want....
Arg! Only had 5 in stock, and they were all 32GB 3G Verizon.
This is getting old......
They got them in and are selling them at the Mall of GA. There are enough people in line to take care of the inventory says the lady on the phone. I had planned on being there, but the weather was horrible this morning and the wife said she would never forgive me if I got in an accident in a rain storm just to go get an iPad. I was willing to take that risk, but not at the risk of making my life miserable in other ways at home!
im more frustrated that because I waited in line on Friday and got one, however it had problems so i went to the store, they had nothing to exchange it with so gave me a gift card so i can get one when the come in...
So now I have to play that game... of waiting... BUT I ALREADY DID THAT ON FRIDAY

Lexington KY Apple Store opened at 9 but didn't get any in. Guy told me they would open early again in the morning and trying it again. No one was in line.

look on the bright side, I waited in line too, and I have no iPad to show for it.

I waited 7 hours on 2 different days for the iPhone 4. We both know it's worth it. Just be patient
.
Yea, this whole opening at 9am thing was bizarre. I've been on the fence about getting an iPad 2 anyway since I already have an iPhone 4 and iMac. I got caught up in the hype and have twice been willing to fork over $499 to Apple. Twice now they have been unsuccessful at taking my money due to supply constraints.
Unfortunately for them, they have given me enough time to change my mind. I'm good with my iMac and iPhone for now. And we all know once the iPhone 5 rumors begin, this iPad 2 will be a distant memory with a grainy screen and lousy cameras.
