iPad 2 UK Thread

5pm is a pain. It means driving home in the rush hour.
I wonder if the Apple reseller store in Plymouth is 5pm too. They didnt indicate it was 5pm on Saturday, but I will check tomorrow.
As the iPad 2 cameras are poor and I already have the camera kit, I decided to get a decent compact camera. Just bought the Panasonic Lumix FS10 in silver (silver is the cheapest colour for some reason) for £69 from Woolworths.co.uk. Bargain and a superb lightweight camera I can carry with me and use the iPad for editing.
I wish Friday was tomorrow.

Just spoken to Tom at PC World and he's basically said, as we know, that he knows nothing from apple and they don't know official time etc and asked If people can contact via PC World notify me button now.

He just called me and said the same thing. He also said they havent been taking names etc.
He also asked if you guys could be kind enough to not contact him via the number and email address given out in this thread regarding ipad 2 stuff and to use the pcworld notify me button instead.

i just spoke to my local KRCS, and he confirmed that prices will be announced at 12:01pm on friday and that the launch is confirmed as 5pm!
no pre-orders - so even though i put my name on the list, it's not guaranteed!
ffs, this is turning into a right mess....
i also called pc world, who were pretty useless, saying o call them on friday morning at 9pm, for stock levels in stores, and if any can be reserved for collection.

It's not a mess. I just think that until the stores get the stock in they can't say what or how much they have.
I have a receipt for a £100 deposit at an Apple reseller whom I use a lot
They have said they will call Thursday to confirm if my white option is in there delivery. If it's not I will have to find a second option of stock.
The apple reseller did say that they did not expect a high demand!

He was definitely taking names, myself and 1 or 2 others here have left details with him.
I will delete his contact info so he won't get to p...ed off.
Nor am I mate in the slightest, St. Albans Solutions reseller said that they will be open from 9.30 and have people saying theyre queuing for the open from 6am. little bit ambiguous whether theyre selling them then?
Hmmm
5pm kind of messes with everything
I think I will just play fastest finger first at 12.01 online at the apple store
CrassssH!

Just in the Silverburn HMV and they are not allowing me to reserve one. They said that there are no reservations on their system for any, and that if anyone had "reserved" one, then they have been given the wrong information.
The woman I spoke to really couldn't have been any less helpful if she tried.

Thanks. My Apple reseller who took a £100 deposit is www.stormfront.co.uk
They don't even have a note on their website re iPad 2.
