Good job. My wife's been in line at the local Apple store since noon and there's about 250 or so in front of her and 300+ behind her lol.

nothing i like reading the stories the day before launch about how people are just gonna stroll into their local store around 4:30 and be able to pick one up talking about they are not going to be sold out like people think they are and then they do get sold out everywhere i dont see those people post anymore

e.g. iphone4, now ipad2
 
5 hours, 30th in line, got the 3G GSM 64GB White as planned. :D
 
4.5 hours, about 80 back in line, got my 16GB wifi black. I just heard they sold out around 7:00. This was at Willow Bend mall in Dallas
 
I got in the line outside So Salt Lake bestbuy @ about 4:20, was about one of the last 5-8 people that got one. Took longer to check out than I stood in line. About 100 minutes total experience. Wanted a 32 wifi, only had 16 left. I think I'll be happy (esp since I have $110 more dollars in my bank account than I planned on spending)

I waited for 30 minutes at ATT store. I got a 32gb black.

That was pretty much my experience. I had some homework to do so I sat othe floor and did it. Now I am busy playing with my iPad.
 
Walked into Target at 4:53pm... walked out, with black 64GB iPad 2, at 5:03pm. The security guard and cashier were disappointed, they wanted lines and excitement. I wasn't.
 
I put off ordering on-line and "rolled the dice" by swinging by Walmart at 4:45pm. If the line was long, I'd bail and order on line.

I was pleasantly surprised to see only 10 to 15 people - oddly enough all were over the age of 50!!! I was the youngest in line (and Im 44!).
 
4.5 hours from arrival until store opened at 5. Took about another 30 min. after store opened until I got in. Purchase completed by 5:45.
 
About 2 hours at Best Buy - 4 to 6 pm. Tickets at 4:30, in at 5, but then a pretty slow process to get us our iPads and out the door. I'm on my new one now, though, so I can't complain. Maybe 50th in line.
