I'll be doing both, would love to have it in my hands on launch day but will be trying to order online just in case I can't pick one up.
Glad we've got some solid info now, the tension in this thread was unbearable.
Finally persuaded a friend to be my line buddy, that's toilet and food breaks sorted
We'll see you at the Bullring Apple Store!

Thanks for the replies, I'll look into it!
Btw, is it certain that you won't be able to order the ipad online at 1am and then pick it up at your store at 5pm? who says the online order cannot be used as a 'pre-order' as well?

iPad Friday
iPad Friday
They would without doubt pre-authorise the card at time of order and then take the payment immediately prior to shipping.
But you have 7 working days with the online order after you take delivery to cancel and return it .... UK distance selling regulations.
Don't know if you could return the online order to an apple store even?
Apple stores and Apple resellers will have huge stock. No need for tents unless you want to get on the news
I'm going to order online and queue up too, I'll cancel the online order if I get one in hand on Friday or receive it if its too late to cancel and sell it on (profit free) I know a couple of others who want one so I could probably do it without going to ebay.
iPad 2 Friday Fun
I am going to;
1. Get onto Apple's order site as quickly as I can from 12am on the 25th, order a 64GB WiFi & 3G in White and a Navy Smart Case.
2. Go down to JL@Home to see if I can get one there with discount, if not then wander along to PC World, Comet, Currys, Argos or Best Buy and pick one up there. If so, whilst waiting to pay, cancel my Apple order.
Worst case, I get the delivery within a week or two! Simples!

This is my feeling. Reckon the Arndale's going to be getting a few thousand at least.
Can't wait for Friday now! Going for a 32gb wifi only, don't really mind which colour.
Who else is going to the Cardiff store?
I'm planning to start queuing around 12ish. Is that too early? (or late?)

I would think 12-1 would be fine if you want first stop. 2-3 if you want an iPad 99%
Cardiff Here.
Qing sometime between 10ish and 12. Not exactly sure yet. Depends on how its looking.

Exactly my point that I have been trying to point out for days. No need to queue early. Just get there about 6 and miss the nuggets queuing and pick one up.
I will be having a few beers after work first
hoping to persuade someone to queue with me to help pass the time and for toilet/snack breaks...
asked the wife but "Wife says no"

I've had it on good word that Argos will not be doing reserve & collect via their website for launch...
Combination Breaker
Nice combination. I call it the Jean Paul Gaultier and it's going to be very popular in Brighton apparently.

Popularity of models
Not sure if anyone has just joined this and missed the iPad popularity documents I was putting together: http://bit.ly/iPad2popFormandRes if anyone else can fill it in that would be cool then we can get a really good idea of what stock is going to be more likely to get on launch day.

Cabot has an Apple Store, a Curry's, a PC World, a Carphone Warehouse, numerous mobile network retail stores, and Broadmead has an Argos and an HMV so Bristol centre is a pretty good bet to get hold of one!
I'm gonna hit Cribbs instead though as I think the queues should be smaller, plus there's a John Lewis, HMV and Carphone Warehouse there as well. Also, it's inside which is good in case it rains!!
Even if they're sold out by six I can think of at least five other places within cycling distance that'll have one. I'll get one on launch day, I'm fairly certain.Exactly my point that I have been trying to point out for days. No need to queue early.

snap. Surprisingly, she doesn't fancy the idea of queuing up for 5 hours
selfish! haha!
