Funny enough my Smart Covers are on their way from the States, i red, i orange. I ordered them at the same time as my iPads, but they were cancelled by Apple! I have also ordered a gelaskin for the back.
Everything should be here on Thursday.
Three UK, Voda TMobile and Orange have all stated they are, for updates/links see link in my signature and see the portion on "Other links to notifications"
The smart covers are on the system as well I just didn't think they were that important. Those catalogue numbers are indeed universal so every store operates under the same catalogue numbers.
I'll be heading through to Glasgow with my mum for 12-noon! See how the line is, better to be early than too late!
so if it is going to be a 5pm launch, who is going to the Glasgow store and at what time? I'm thinking about going in maybe about 10am on friday, don't really fancy queing through the day, I would have much preferred going really early like when the iPhone 4 was released. I was 7th or 8th in the que for the iPhone 4 at the buchanan street store and was in and out with my new phone in about 15 mins, I think they opened at 7am that morning, 1 hour earlier than publicised. I'm hoping that apple make an announcement midweek and decide on an early morning launch.
10am? Bit early no? I'll walk past at 11 after my lectures and see if its busy, then will probably head past again after 1 once my last lecture finishes. And will decide. My brother wants me to queue and head home with it that night! Not a chance! xD (I have to buy his aswell.) He queued for the iPhone 4 launch and had to wait about 4 hours
Hope that doesn't happen if I go...But will see. All depends on the shipping times online and stuff!
Sorry site seems to be down now. Basically it will be Busier than iPad 1 launch as the survey shows more first time iPad buyers are planning to buy a ipad2 in the first month compared to first time iPad 1 buyers at launch, similar popularity of ipad 2 in USA
Might seem a little early. But I thnk if you dont get one on Friday then its unlikely you'll get one for 4-6 weeks.
And I've been waiting close to 6 months already.

Me too I've been holding off for a year and I can't resist anymore, I need one on Friday haha. Because everyone panic buys in this country I agree it will be very difficult to get one after the first batch are gone. Especially with the assemblers only have 2-3 weeks of some key components left since the Japan disaster

Anyone know if the US people were allowed to online order two iPads when they went on sale at 12am?
Missus wants one too, and I'll be in trouble if mine takes priority

If I can't get the model I want on Friday from either Western Computer or KCRS then I'll be ordering one from Apple on my iPhone before the the waiting times get mega long.
I guess u ordered the gelaskin from the US? I'm not sure what i'm going to do in regards to protecting the back.
Anyway I've sent you a PM regarding Friday. Can meet up at 10am at westfield shopping centre
Can't remember my password for my account so had to sign up again oh well.
Not liking this 17:00 launch
Anyone from the Southampton area, what's your plans for Friday??
Posted from my iPad 1 ( waiting to go to my mum lol )
I will be there at West Quay on Friday, just making travel plans etc, what time do you plan to start queuing?
No idea, was there for the 3G was pretty busy. Don't know whether to go there or somewhere else Argos etc???
Gotta give props to Iawa for setting his link up and gathering info.
Fingers crossed we get more info tomorrow.
What my local KRCS did say was they are getting "very large" quantities of 4 models, but don't know which yet.
How much is "very large" do you think?
Do you think we're worrying unneccesarilly? With all these resellers now stocking apple products, we should be easily able to walk in even on Saturday morning...
Hmmm?

Maybe John Lewis would also be a good idea, right next to Apple store as well. Also maybe Dixons (uck!) also close by.
I sold my iPad 1 to my brother in law like 2 weeks ago now. Must admit, i've really missed it. I've been using my MacBook loads since but i miss the easy way i can pick up the iPad and check the web in an instant. Gonna be ordering online, as soon as it opens up online on Friday. Hopefully, this time next week i'll be looking ahead to it being delivered. Cannot wait! I'm going for 16GB WIFI White by the way.
What store? If it's the Leamington one then any chance you can get him to hold a Black 32 3G back for me?
It's not leamington, not gonna say which as they're not really supposed to allow pre-orders, sorry dude!
