Do u guys expect the same amount of people queueing in Regent Street and Covent Garden? I think I will go either one around noon, not sure I will get one though...it's Central London...
Lots of scalpers.
I'll be at the Bullring, heading down around 12pm, trying to persuade friends to be line buddies!
one thing is UK's iPad price is considerately more expensive than other countries...that might deter them from getting as many as they did in the States?
+1 on that, I forgot about the ridiculous price sting. Is the rough guide so far they're about £20 cheaper this time round if i remember from previous posts?
So 16gb WiFi+3G set you back £500?
that should be the case...
apparently the "market price" in HK/ China is just around £600-£650 for 16GB WiFi+3G...
MAYBE they won't be bothered to get stocks from here...
(fingercrossed)I'm finishing work (Whitley Village) at 3, popping in best buy en route to town (just in case...) so will get there around 3.45 - I know my chances are very slim, given that WQ will close at 8, but guess I gotta try
- failing that online ordering hopefully won't be too much of a wait Hopefully Apple have learned some lessons about the US launch to build up some stock and get better in store practices to make our launch a bit more.....seamless!
4 days to go 
Anyone know if the apple store in westfield are definately going to be stocking the new ipad 2?
I know they're an apple store and should definitely get stock but no one has mentioned anything about that store, only the main 2 stores have been mentioned (CG and RS).
I might have to pop over to westfield after work on thursday evening to see what the situation is. Its only a 5 minute tube ride from the office

I haven't heard anything, but would love to know if you find out. I'm still unsure as to which London store to visit. Anyone have any asvise?
I'll keep u updated. I'm planning to get there for 10am on friday. Meeting another forum member. Line buddies lol.
10am!!!!! I was thinking mid-day ish. Maybe need to re-think that. Will have to talk with a couple of people, don't really want to spend all day in line. But may see you there.
I'm planning that too, mind if you have another buddy to the group? I think CG will be nicer to be queueing outside probably?
Truetrue, still my mates bailed so I'm needing a line buddy or if there's a meet up at any london store PM me?
Sent u pm. Can join me and another member at Westfield
Don't really fancy CG or RS. think the queues will be much longer at those two stores. Likely to have people queuing up the day before!

Nice one cheers, yeah youre right probably full of scalpers buying out the store aswel :/
Westfields is a pretty nice store actually if I remember right, very white xD
It's not bad there. At least we'll be warm and close to toilets haha. Couldnt manage 7-8 hours without needing to go
Also it's only a few shops away from Holister. Opposite is a great place in that food bit which sells awesome pies. Pretty sure it's called 'Square Pie' or something like that. Worth checking out.
