Hi, i was hoping to find this post for cribbs, yea i was there for the 4s launch and i will be there friday morning! Sold my iPad 1st gen back in january, so ive waited long enough, i was thrilled when i heard it was being released on the 16th the same as the US, im glad they are doing that now rather than giving the US first dibs and every other country having to wait weeks until they get it.

I'm planning to go this friday hopefully. I was there for the iPad2 launch queue. But I have work in the afternoon so don't know how long I can stay.

What model are you planning on getting? What time are you planning on getting there? Based on what the ipad 2 launch was like.

I planning to get a black Wifi 64GB model. Last year it was an evening launch and I queued for 3 1/2 hours starting at 2pm.

I'm planning to come at 8am if it is confirmed to be a morning launch. I was told by Apple store staff to to phone back later in the week to confirm the launch times.

With the 4s last year the que was huge by 8am, thats when the store openend, if it is a morning launch i would say try and get there earlier than that if you can, better to be safe than sorry.
