Today I was at the Apple Store at Carrousel du Louvre here in Paris and the queue forming outside to get a new iPad wasn't that big. I'd dare to say the maximum waiting time to get your hands on a new iPad wasn't even 45 minutes. Inside the store everything was very calm and I even asked one of the people working there if they had any iPad lefts and he told me they had enough so my guess is, at least here in Paris, there won't be any iPad 3 shortage, or at least not for now so I don't see how any scalper could make any money out of this.
