iPad 2 Launch: Polaris Fashion Place - Columbus, OH

So glad I went to Best Buy! I was #2 in line and froze for 5 hours, but got the iPad I was after! Best Buy sold out about 5 after 5pm. Had enough for the entire line and a few stragglers but that was it.

Finally home from a long day and now syncing all my apps. Only odd thing is that my laptop USB doesn't seem to be strong enough to charge my iPad. Glad it was already at 86%.

Sounds like we at least all got one ?! I drove by BB around 230 but there was only about 10 in line, so I went and picked up some lunch, then headed back around 345, ended up being 23 in line still. Luckily only had to freeze for 45 min lol.

Shipments on Sat?

Wondering if anyone is dialed in to whether or not there will be shipments at Polaris and/or Easton on Saturday. The mgr at Polaris indicated that he thought it may be possible. Please post if you know!

Manager said he wasnt sure about availability but was confident they would be getting more shipments all weekend. He did express concern about future supply chain due to the earth quake in Japan. Not sure how this affects Apple???

I did buy a 2nd unit, 32GB Black, and am selling it on craigslist.

I waited at Tuttle and was next in line behind the 7 people in the tent near the door. Was cold and windy but well worth the wait.

Went by Easton Apple store on Sunday and the one sales person I spoke to said that they sold out Friday and received a small shipment on Saturday. She speculated that they would keep getting small shipments throughout the week to keep product moving.

Went to Polaris today. There were about 100 - 150 ppl in line this morning. They ran out of ipads again. They are most likely holding ipads that come in the day prior then releasing in the morning. That is why they open at 9am instead of the regular 10am.

I am so glad I waited in line on the 11th. This is just crazy. I'm one of those that wanted an iPad because I wanted to USE the iPad, but all over the net I'm reading about people scooping them up just to resell which sucks for those of us that want one to actually own and iPad.
