I was at line at 9:30AM, WAITED 7 AND A HALF HOURS and got the one I wanted. Sorry Pal, but show up 2 hours before an Apple product launch and to expect to get something is "taking at hugh chance" and you came up short.

I think the hard thing was that they either didn't know or weren't willing to tell people early enough about how many they had. But probably they wanted the lines to be there, and anything like that would have discouraged people from lining up at the back.
The reason there were no pre-orders is because Apple did not want another Verizon iPhone fiasco where the lines were non-existent. They wanted people to come to the Apple Store and build up the frenzy for iPad 2. Sounds like it worked.
It sucks that some of you did not get what you wanted but with the crisis in Japan and civil war in Libya, you should not expect much empathy.

I was told everyday. she also strongly hinted more would be coming today. they know how big the demand is. they'd be crazy not having these things pumped out asap and sent to consumers.
It appears each store did things very differently, in dallas two people came through the line and handed out claim tickets and put your order into an iPhone. Each claim ticket had a tear off at the bottom that looked like it was attached to a specific iPad and showed which iPad model it was for. Granted it would have been nice for them to give out the tickets earlier than they did for people that were in the back of the line but I don't think anyone was surprised by the time they got to the store.
They purposefully understocked and waited till 5 to create media attention.
I have symphony for you.
