If it's 2-3 weeks on the australian store... then what's it going to be by the time the aussies have ordered a bunch, and so have all the other launch countries that pass 1AM before we do? They might sell another million or so by the time it's our turn!

Doesn't work quite like that, each country will be allocated its own units. Paperwork, user manuals, default languages, packaging etc. are all unique for each country so it's not as simple as having a global stockpile and each country picking straight from that.

You won't miss out just because I got in before you! :D
 
This is agonising. Buy my iPad 3G tomorrow or wait a month and buy it from John Lewis with partner discount and get it for the same price as the WiFi model?!

I was going to do the same as you I phoned JL High Wycombe store
and they said they have 2 of each in stock.

I want the discount but can I wait :rolleyes:

Good point! Thanks. I'll have to go queue tomorrow anyway, I can't afford to wait 2-3 weeks (unlike the rest of you lot I actually NEED one to port some iOS apps, so don't buy them all ok? :))
 
With the online orders saying 2-3 weeks we have decided to leave earlier! So aiming to get at Regent for 1pm!

Fingers crossed thats enough...

EDIT: Oh Smart Covers are on sale now... :)

Wanted - helpers to blog

would like some people to help, so if your going to a queue, would you be able to keep a live feed, using an iPhone app, that pushes straight to the website??

blogging things like queue sizes, photos of queues, other exciting things etc..

if you help, that'd help a lot of people on here.

thats odd, but i didnt use 1-click for this, have only just set it up.


maybe safer tonight to order one with 1-click and another without and cancel one if both get placed :cool:

What do you mean "using an iPhone app"? Are you asking someone to create an app?

I am happy to keep people informed at the Trafford Centre in Manchester but not sure how I am meant to do it. I can post on here or open an new thread perhaps.

I will be queuing from 12/1pm.

Just phoned Apple Store Kingston who told me that all Apple Stores have a '2 iPads per customer limit'.
Thought that might be some useful information for you all.
 
Just ordered a sexy Sena case for my new iPad 2 (I must be confident then!) They have just launched their new line for the iPad 2, and they are stunning, really nice quality leather cases. Personally I went for the 'Executive Sleeve' in Black - and guess what? It fits the smart cover too! Awesome :)

P.S - If any of you want a Sena case, then use this bad boy on the submit payment page under Coupon Codes: PCWIPNK11

20% discount ;) an old code that's been knocking around for a while but amazingly still works!!


Anyone else getting a Sena case then? As well as/instead of a smart cover. I will be getting a smart cover too. Gonna look the business! :D

I think i'll wait until these 3rd party covers also make use of the magnets in the iPad2 so that they too can lock / unlock automatically...
 
ooh just had the fraud dept. of my credit card call me up to check it was me who just used to to place my smart cover order! haven't used this card in months so they wanted to check!

and to double/triple check with here it wont get blocked again tonight, assures me it wont.

maybe its safe to run it passed your c.card companies so they know you will be making a purchase in the dead of the night so they dont block it!
 
i must have ordered about 6 smart covers via 1 click.. non showing... the only 1 that shows is non-1-click order.. which is now showing 14-18th april like everyone elses
