Meadowhall iPad 2 Launch!

PC World have emailed me stating they will be selling these Friday from 5pm too.

I would have thought lunch time would be fine for the apple store. But, you never know!! :eek:

Me and 2 of my friends will be at the Meadowhall store.
Was initially considering an overnight queue up as we thought it might open early at say 8am, but since it's now a 5pm launch I think we will just get there around 8am.

I'll be sat in the queue passing time with my iPad 1, lol.

What you really need to do is give us all an update.

I can get there pretty much any time on Friday, but as it's my birthday I would rather not spend it queing all day.
 
I will update this thread at 12:00 hrs on Friday (when I plan on getting there) if no-one else has done an update.
 
I'll be getting there quite early so I'll post up some pictures of everyone lining up throughout the day and I'll see what the Apple folks say about availability and stuff.
 
i'm going to have a walk in after work about 3.30/3.45ish if the lines are long ill leave it if not ill join.

I'm thinking along those lines too. For the iPad 1 I got there 1.5 hours before opening and it was fine. It sounds like people are going to be turning up at silly times for this one. I'm not bothering to take the day off work for a 2nd iPad. I'm going to try a pre-order first, if I can get it within a couple of weeks I'll be happy.

I didn't realise Meadowhall opened that early!

Don't think I stand a chance of getting one if I am arriving at lunch time now.

Oh well.
 
Damn, absolute earliest I'll be able to get there is 3.30/4ish, so looking like I won't be getting one after all! Ar$e...

I ordered a couple last night, after well over an hour of "Oops" messages from the website, but they're not shipping til 15th April / delivered 26th April - don't know if I have that much patience! :eek:

Nice one on the queue updates guys, muchly appreciated :D
 
100+ people?

Hey,

I just rang the Meadowhall store, and he said there was 100+ people queueing already! Just wanted to see if anyone there could confirm/deny that - as the last post here said there were around 7?

Cheers!

Staff in shop have been saying people at back may be dissapointed! You could alway try buy someone's space in que
 
Got there at just after eleven and was 93rd in the queue, they had sold out of white 3G 16gb by then but that wasn't the model I was after anyway.
 
I wish I had all day to bum about - finished work at 5:40, got to Meadowhall at about 6pm and figured if the queues were too long, I'd just wait for a few weeks.

Walked into the upstairs Orange shop - no queue at all but they only had 16 & 32 Gb ones left. Checked out huge queue outside Apple shop. Went to downstairs Orange shop - picked up the white 64Gb 3G that I wanted without any wait at all. Chuckled to myself looking at the large (and growing) queue outside Apple shop, left by 6:20.
