Drove by local store at 9:04. There was a line but it was all inside the store, maybe 10-15 at most.
Was told by store rep that there were 50 people on line this morning in Manhasset, NY. I just need there to be an available 16gb att ipad by april 1 so I can return my Verizon one...

Called yesterday at about 5:00 (Cerritos, CA) was told that people usually start lining up at 9PM.
You Apple people are insane. I'll wait a month or more since it's not that important to me.

No line at the New Orleans Apple Store when I went to pick up a 32GB WiFi @ 10:30am. They had a lot of stock too...about 100 units in stock.
The BB down the street from where I live actually had a few in stock this whole week but the customer service was really crappy so I waited to go to the Apple Store and was in and out in 10 minutes.

Went to Northbrook (IL) this morning. I got there at 6 am and was 7th in line. The people at the front got there at around 430-445. I didn't pay a lot of attention to when people came behind me, but there were probably around 40 or so by 730-8 when they handed out tickets for the day's ipods; they had a lot, especially wifi only ones.
Depends on where you are, I suppose. I went to Arden Fair Mall Apple Store (Sacramento, CA) this morning. Arrived at 8AM....was about the 40th person in line. Another 40-50 came after me leading up to 9AM. I left around 9:30 about 10 people from getting in once it was announced there were few models left (and not the one I wanted).
I also have reservation at BB and pending order with Apple (not shipping until 4/21).....the hunt has lost it's luster....🙁
I went to the apple store today in Illinois about 30 mintues before they opened thinking nobody would be in line. Well I was wrong, there was about 30-40 people in line and they only had white 64gb Verizon left. So I went to bestbuy and they were sold out. After that I went to walmart and they had 3 black 16gb wifi which is exactly what I wanted. Good luck!
^Agreed. I refuse to wait to spend my money. I will end up buying one when I can walk in and just pick one up in my free time. It's not that important to me since I have an original iPad. If I didn't have the original I guess I would be in a pickel😛
I went into the Bensalem PA Walmart today and picked up a 32GB AT&T model. I just walked in and there were a bunch of models in the case. White, back, and different capacities along with 3G or Wifi only.
I was surprised. I'm between Cherry Hill NJ and King of Pussia PA Apple stores. No luck with them, Best Buy all in the area, and any Targets for miles. Oddly, Bensalem Walmart seems to be only Walmart anywhere around getting stock and they have a bunch. No lines.

I went to the Apple store this morning in Arlington VA at about 6:45 AM and I was number 11 in line. By the time 9 AM hit, there were about a good 75 or more in line. They had good amounts of some but not all. I wanted a blk 32G ATT model but only had blk 64G ATT. I think there were no more than 10-15 left after me from what I can guess at the stack of tickets for that model.

Didn't seem like scalpers to me - mostly older folks or college students. Not exactly your typical scalper fair. But then again this was Charleston so maybe they aren't experiencing the scalper issue (I'm just taking a long weekend here so I really don't know).

Was at the Charlotte, NC store tonight, Friday. The guy said they got in 125 and the line took most of them but not all. Had a few left for walk in people. Didn't ask if they could buy more than one.

You mean 9pm at night. I was hoping it is a typo, and you mean 9am.
This is crazy.😱
