iPad 2 UK Thread

I'm not sure you can.
If it helps, I've just been into my local Argos store (Luton), where I was told they are definitely getting stock for Friday. I was advised that the website will be updated as soon as the stock arrives, and to check back in the early hours on Friday to reserve...

Reserve for collection or home delivery?

Brilliant news! What HMV store did you call? I won't be able to make it into town until 5pm and there'd be little point joining the queue at the Apple Store then.

Hoping Forest Side HMV might even sell them but unlikely.

I called the one in Donegall Arcade. Not sure if Forestside will have them but centre of town definitely will.
 
Just thinking where I should be queuing for Ipad2. I study at LSE and will finish at 10am on Friday. there is an Apple retailer on the Strand, the Apple Store in Covent Garden and a PC World near Warren Street.. I just want to get my hands on an ipad cuz i'm leaving on saturday...

similar situation here...but I got no lecture that day :D
so I will be queueing early!
 
Well, Apple UK's web site is STILL saying they will notify you when the iPad2 is available for "Pre-Order"

Which means in the next 3 days at the latest.

so when do you plan to queue?? if it's ok maybe we could queue together to look out for toilet breaks?
Click to expand...

I'm not sure yet...unless I can order online at midnight then I will probs do it to save hassles...but if I am queueing I will be there like 12 noon I guess?
 
I'm planning on getting mine from the Regent Street Apple Store, but I can't be there until 1:00pm. If I didn't have a job to do in the morning, I'd queue from about 9:00am.

Assuming that the 5:00pm on-sale time is accurate, I'd love to hook up with someone who could take the "early shift" - 9:00am till 1:00pm. I could then take over from 1:00pm till 5:00pm while you go off for a lie down / a sandwich / to see a movie and you could swoop back into the queue in time to be granted access! Any takers?

Cheers

that sounds like a plan...however I am not sure if u could still get back in the queue at 4 sth since it will be a massive long one stacked into a pile or sth...

I'm sure you could. If we have each other's numbers, I could dispatch a helpful Apple Store bod to come and get you.

I just called HMV in Belfast who confirmed that they will be stocking the iPad 2 this Friday, and the 16GB WiFi model will be £399. Bargain!
Click to expand...

I'm not quite sure how they could reliably tell you that they WILL be stocking the iPad 2 on launch day. No one appears to have had any stock allocation yet, so I don't know how they can say that they will have stock on Friday.
 
I called the only HMV in Nottingham.

The guy said the iPad 2 was on their system, but they're not sure whether they will receive anything for launch (official word). Unofficially, he said, "he hopes so"...

No indication of prices or stock levels.

He seemed more bothered about the 3DS... is that launching on the same day or something?

not being funny but that sort of thing would wind me up! if theres only one person queueing at a time, then they can't hold a place for someone else! Otherwise i could just stand there from 8am and hold a place for my mate who turns up at 5? toilet breaks are one thing, but 4 hours?!

its not the sort of thing i would let go if i was in the queue behind you put it that way, especially if i ended up missing the model i wanted by one or two... there would be trouble!

yeah


Australia prices. $50 drop. This means im pretty sure the HMV prices are correct with prices dropping by £30.
