I see the Canadian Best Buy are having a 10AM launch... fingers crossed for morning here...

Surely that would mean it's more likely to be a 5pm launch here seeing as 10am (PDT) is 5pm (UTC)... then it is released at the same time in at least 2 countries...

Mind you, that depends where in Canada they are talking about...

This is the most pleasant and well constructed discussion i've ever read on a forum in... well... forever!

The politest certainly - some other threads have turned almost violent. Goes to show what us Brits are like

 

[Inked]

Anyone going to be going to the Milton Keynes Apple store?
What time you thinking of queuing if you are?

I'm dropping the wife off at the station for 7:15 so may just hang around all day

 

[dalvin200]

Has there been any indication of quantities per customer? Is it 2 still?

[dalvin200]

Still there on this page: http://www.apple.com/uk/ipad/

Click on the image of the iPAD so you go to the iPAD mini site.

Its stills there for the 25, also the shop still has the 25th and a couple of other images.

 

[sahajesh]

Have you queued at that door before? There's a door next to the Chinese all-you-can-eat opposite the co-op but I'm not familiar with the opening sequence for Eldon Square. Do all doors unlock/release at the same time or are they all manually opened?

Now there's a topic thread I've not seen so far - which door to queue at and in what order do they open

 

[will123]

My bad... it is still there...

Jeez you got my heart going there! thats just on the main page, if you click that it takes you to the iPad 2 page where it says March 25th

Looks the same to me once you go through to the main iPad 2 page from homepage: http://www.apple.com/uk/ipad/#hero-gallery-4

My mistake, no offence meant, whichever side of the border you call home.

Now we will be called geeks! g

 

[dalvin200]

Just think, in a weeks time, we'll all look back at this thread with a WTF face!!

 

[AndyboyH]

I did some threads for the 'toon and 'metty launches...

Dunno which I'm going to yet. Might do the Newcastle store if morning, and see about the Metrocenter if it's gonna be 5pm like everyone thinks. At least then there's an Argos and HMV close too...

Think I'm going to be a bit knackered - me and the wife are both getting a 3DS at midnight too...

Anyone see this?

I POSTED THAT IMAGE TO THIS VERY FORUM!, and those "insider quotes" are actually from me and not secret insider at all!

That website tries to make it sound like it's done some undercover work, when actually it's just stolen from these forums lol.

Yeah I did see that. The watermark they put on it made me lol. Go and have a go at them for stealing it cos it does belong to you.

That's very poor form stealing graphics then marking them!

 

[dalvin200]

i totally agree... i lost respect for that dude a while back...

at least he acknowledged @iawa, but still... ripping off that pic and watermarking it as his own is total BS..

They pulled all of it from my site (link in sig), I had put (and it's still there) that it was the latest from the forums, I do not claim to take credit for it I was quoting your post. I don't mind too much that they re-hashed it but would rather they had done it word for word or just put a link back as theirs does come across that there was loads of secrecy etc. involved but it was just info anyone could get from a public forum!

 

[Soundburst]

I wrote in to their "tip us" section and said it was bad form to quote my image as their own.

I said they should have linked to the relevant post (as opposed to providing no link at all to this forum where the story originated) in this thread at MacRumors as that's the decent thing to do.
