East Coasters are you staying up till 3:01AM to Order

[AppleGoddess]

I guess i will watch a Dr.Who Marathon

 

[Lady Arwen]

I'm waking up at 3 am! I usually get up at 5 am, so it's not a big difference for me.

 

[AppleGoddess]

I get up around 5 am too.
Use it to surf the web some.

 

[CristobalHuet]

Yes. I have class at 11:00 the next day, so not a big deal for me.

 

[AppleGoddess]

I wish it was midnight EST

 

[Evmanw]

I usually wake up at 7 for class, so I figure if I go to bed early thursday night, I can wake up at 3, try to get an iPad for an hour and then go back to bed at four and sleep for 3 more hours.
Pre orders start on friday at 301 ET, or thursday?

 

[gostan]

Not unless Steve Jobs rings my door bell and delivers me a new IPad 2.

AM...Friday

 

[NightStorm]

I've got Friday off of work (leaving for a snowboard trip), so I'll wake up around 3AM to see if I can get my order in before I leave.

Not unless Steve Jobs rings my door bell and delivers me a new IPad 2.

Now that would be cool. "What's this Steve Jobs impersonator doing at my door" (slams door)

 

[el beisbol]

I'll order when I wake up at 5:30am.

 

[Coukos34]

Whats the point? It's not going to ship to you any faster...If you want to get one asap, just try an apple store or a bestbuy on Friday

 

[darngooddesign]

You're assuming we go to bed at normal hours.

 

[Sketchr]

I don't believe they will sell out before I get up at my regular time and order. It won't get shipped any faster if I order it at 2 am rather than at 6am.

 

[AppleGoddess]

You're assuming we go to bed at normal hours.

I guess I do.

 

[Lady Arwen]

I doubt it will sell out, but I'm always on the cautious side. If it's sold out at 3 or 4 am (when I'll order), then there's nothing I could have done. However, if it was sold out at, say 5 or 6 am, I would be kicking myself so much because I didn't get up earlier.

 

[Mjmar]

Does anybody know when the iPad would arrive if I ordered online?

 

[phobic99]

Most likely Monday, 14 March.

It appears a number of retail stores will have the iPad 2 in stock on Friday after 5. There's no point in being around at 3:01 AM to order an iPad IMO.

 

[makefunnyfaces]

I'm almost positive my local Best Buy will have enough stock. I'm one of those impatient people who doesn't want to wait for it to be delivered.

I do have fond memories of staying up all night for iPhone launches, though.

But.... no. I'll be getting my beauty sleep.

I'm usually up at 4:30 am anyway so getting up at 3:00s not that big of a deal. Plus I have no desire to go to the Apple store or BB on Friday. There probably wouldnt be an issue if I just ordered it at 4:30 but getting up early adds some thrill to it.

 

[Evmanw]

Looks like I am not buying it... from apple or best buy, or walmart, or sams club. I am goin tax-free!!! MACMALL.COM

 

[maflynn]

I'm old grump and I wouldn't stay up for any iDevice. I'd just order it online the when I finally wrangle myself out of bed

 

[Yaris]

I don't have school the next day so I will probably stay up. If I don't get it I'll go to the store.

 

[gforce216]

No class on Friday, so if pre-orders are actually made available at 3AM then I will stay up. Otherwise, I'm just going to bed because I want it on Friday.

 

[gatech2]

What state is Apple online located?
Thanks.
