So say they have 20 staff selling iPads. At most ten mins per person to sell. 6pm before the 100th person walks out with one? Nice
At the trafford centre now. Anyone just arrived wanna join up for queuing?

The funny looks from passers by are great.

I decided to join the queue. Probably about 140 people in front of me. 12 behind.
They're splitting the queue now into a second queue, and having people queue outside F.Hinds jewellers opposite Dorothy Perkins. Only one guy there so far!
Obviously you guys are gonna be buying the iPad at separate times but could you guys ask about stock and whether they think they would have any Saturday morning?
I plan to go Saturday and it would be great if any of you guys can ask and get any pointers to stock levels.
Thanks.

For info, there are 120 staff working today!!! And they are expecting to have plenty of stock. Was told before that Sydney store sold over 800 units and Trafford are expecting similar amount. Are closing store at 3pm to prepare for 5pm launch. Queue is now very long - probably 250+ people.
The guy next to me is selling his place in the que he's number 3 offers are currently at £400 + want a garanteed iPad for today then that might be worth a shot!
Just rang them and the Arndale store. All sold out I'm afraid
. I'll give it a try tomorrow morning.Wirelessly posted (Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; U; CPU iPhone OS 4_3 like Mac OS X; en-us) AppleWebKit/533.17.9 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.0.2 Mobile/8F190 Safari/6533.18.5)

I was there for 9am thanks to a tweet someone posted saying people were queuing from 6.30ish. First time lining up for an Apple launch and it was awesome - n.o 25 in line. The 8 hours flew by and everyone including the Apple staff were really great.
Would definitely do it again.

Very enjoyable day at the Trafford centre. Does anyone have an idea of the number of people who managed to get an iPad. Some are saying the queue reached 400 +
