1st contact with BB: sell when open at 10am
2nd contact today with BB: selling at 5pm, a line system will be set up outside the store.

So, gonna watch the store front and wait and see when a line develops, but will most likely stand in line 30 min early if one hasn't started by than.

Geeeze. You really think no one would be in line as late as 4:30? I think Apple hopes for better than that.

I'm thinking the line starts no later than 12PM if not alot sooner to be honest.

I don't know, just that this is a smaller town, 70K Pop. People may line up way before 4:30, reason I said I will be watching

This is BB, not an Apple store. Been many reports of BBs not having lines in previous apple sales.

12pm at BB? Highly doubt that, unless its the only way your entire city has to get one. I went to BB saturday morning when there were reports they had in iPad 1 and there were maybe 15 people total waiting 15 minutes til open here in Columbus, OH. We do also have a lot of other stores however.

I'm in Chicago so you may have a point and this is definitely not the only BB we have.

I just stopped by my BB and was relieved that they would have the iPad on Friday (they don't have an Apple section except for iOS devices). The saleslady also told me that they will begin pre-selling thursday for $100 down.

Any idea if they will be selling online for store pickup Friday?

No online sales, according to their FAQ. I assume the site will just say "Coming soon" until sometime after 5pm.
