That's hilarious! I'm sitting in the Fairview Point Claire parking lot, no one is here! I am such a fangirl. Go us!

I truly am a nerd now. Sitting in Best Buy parking lot all by myself. I called the north Best Buy last night and they had people setting up tents at 8:45. So I get here at 4:45 after not wanting to wait 2-3 weeks to get on online. Extra large timmies might not have been such a great idea in about 2 hours though.

The personal hotspot on ios 4.3 is great though not having to tether is nice.

Wow, you guys have patience :) 12 hours is too long... I waited for iPhone 4, but it was 4hrs till store opened. Good luck to you both!
 
Depending on lines, Best has said they may use a voucher system, at least that way I could go home for a while. If there are less than 20-30 people in line, i guess it is a full day here!

Great job advertising your location, and more impressive... The added bonus "no one is here"

Good luck you might needed!

Seems like lines didn't form overnight...which is a good thing.

I think Canadians actually have lives and work to attend to...

Well, there are around 100 people lined up outside Apple at the Eaton Center. They were lined up last night, and at 1:30am they had to go outside of the mall, and then they were let back in at 5am.
 
No one here yet!

No one lined up here at MacOutpost here in London yet! (8am)

We will have iPad 2 available for sale, we just don't know how many of each of if there is any model we don't have until the 5 pm launch.

Does any one know if the Apple corporate stores are launching at 5 too?:confused:
 
Well got up, ordered just before 4am and then went back to bed. Have a PDF of the order with the order number, but still no confirmation email. How long do those things usually take?
 
Bah...2-3 weeks delivery for a "launch"?

I'm thankful I'm returning home to my less-that-50,000 home town that has a local Apple retailer that bends the rules.

I got an email about 10 min after ordering. Go to your account on the top right corner of the apple store and chech your order status.
 
About 70 people in line at Square One. I am near the back. Unfortunately, there is some slimey douche walking up and down the line handing out his phone number and trying to get everyone to buy a second iPad and sell it to him for resale.

sounds kinda douche but not a bad idea.

you buy me a 64gb wifi and i'll pay you back? :p lol

i think i found a store that no one would think they'd sell them that i'm hoping to pick one up tonight after work.

Anybody at Best Buy in the maritimes? Should be after 10 am there now - did they end up doing the voucher thing or completely scrap it? I'm first in line at best buy in Coquitlam - about 7 people in line now. Only 10 hours to go.

Did exactly the same. Happy to wait for it..... unless the local store gets some stock in and then may cancel online!!!!!:D

The news reports on the Apple sites seem to indicate that the shipping times are very conservative and the chances are that the items will arrive before then. Fingers crossed for you....
 
It's really mind boggling why you guys would place an order for an item that doesn't ship until 3 weeks later?? This is really disappointing. What kind of launch includes a 3 week wait even if it is an online order. I can just imagine the chaos at Apple Store tomorrow.

I totally agree. I woke up at 4am to order an Ipad and after a few minutes of refreshing, the option to purchase came on a few minutes after 4am. I read that it was 2-3 weeks before delivery so I closed the laptop and went back to bed. That is insulting for a launch. At least have some units in stock ready to ship when you hype up a launch date! Thank God i had to pee anyway or I would have really been upset...

If i can nab one today at future shop great, if not i'll order one online. I think it's 3-4 weeks now...whats the difference. Just don't con me into a launch date and time and then not have the product available. I'm actually surprised that more people weren't put off by this. Shame on you Apple.
