No line at my local Target yet. I have strategically placed myself in the patio/grill section with a clear view, straight shot, of Electronics. I WILL have an iPad 2 today!
 
Apple employees are using first gen. ipads to mark down what you are planning on buying. No mention of a limit on quantity. I told them I am getting one for me and one for my wife. No problems so far. They have barricades setup going down the mall corridor as far as I can see right now.

I also asked what accessories will be available - they say they don't know yet but they assume at least the smart covers will be here.

If anyone has any questions or wants updates let me know and I will se what I can do. I am about number 20 in line I'm guessing so hopefully I will be outa here by 5:15 ish!!

Franco- I was going to head over there around 3pm..can you keep us updated on the line?

About 22 in south portland mall for apple store right now

Is this in Washington Square?
 
13th in line @ Bridgewater Mall, NJ going to get white 32gb+3g still deciding on carrier.

Look for the cute redhead in line behind you with her mother. It's my girlfriend. She wants the same one and is also having trouble deciding on a carrier. Maybe you two can work it out.
 
There's about 35-40 people in line outside the Apple Store in Scottsdale, AZ (the Scottsdale Quarter store), as of right now. Lots of chairs set up and umbrellas to keep the sun off their heads! :)

I'll probably go by a store I think around 7pm tonight, after most of the lines have cleared out. With this launch, I don't think they'll sell out. too many other retailers out there selling this time, and its a nice upgrade from the iPad 1, but not crazy awesome. If they would have put the retina display on the iPad 2, I'd be in line with these guys....
 
I'm at the WillowBend mall in Plano Texas. I got here around 11:15 and am probably between 30-40 in line.
 
Oak Brook was the only true suburban Chicago Apple Store until Orland Square Mall, then Deer Park (way up on the Northern 'burbs of Chicago), then Naperville sprung up.

I would prefer to go to the Naperville Apple Store since it's closer to me, but it's outdoors & would rather wait in line inside at Orland Square as much as possible if possible.

Family member is en route to Orland Square now. Heard from Mall Corporate that there were around 20-25 people in line at 11:00 AM CST. Hoping my wife is in under the 100 person mark by the time she gets there in a few minutes.

Don't forget the Woodfield, Old Orchard and Northbrook stores.
 
Is anyone in Montgomery county, MD? Best Buys? Apple stores? I'm curious how it is since VA seems to be reporting in but don't see any MD people other than Columbia/Baltimore.
 
Don't forget the Woodfield, Old Orchard and Northbrook stores.

Baaah! Thanks for the correction. My head is still a block of concrete from this flu I've had all week, am not thinking straight. Should've known better than to try and arrange Chicago area Apple Store openings in chronological order in my current state.
 
Did you see a line at the Best Buy at Garden State Plaza?

folks, I am leaving my house now.. but still trying to determine if i am going to gsp or staying in local to go to target.. will update as i go along.. (target in north bergen)
 
For those of you in line at an Apple store. Have they mentioned how many they have in stock? I realize that will vary on location, but would be nice to know.
 
What's happening in Oak Brook, IL now?

As of 12:30, about 25 people. A while ago, a couple blue shirts came out and told us they'd give us tickets at 2-3 to select what we want. The line seems tone growing at a faster rate as the day progresses. I doubt it will be huge, though.
 
Plano, Texas - Willow Bend

100 or so in line? estimated?

Not too bad for 12:37pm local.

Good Luck Everybody!
