You would be surprised how homeless people can look. They aren't all shabbily dressed and dirty, pushing a shopping cart.

New Yorkers, we have little chance of getting an iPad 2 from Apple store anytime soon

Nice post.
Seriously, where did society go so far astray? I don't want to get too machiavellian, but the "ME only" perspectives on this forum is, well I can't say eye opening b/c I know it exists, but kinda shocking in its pervasiveness and persistence.
That's your stereotype. My opinions are based on reasoning that it is doubtful that if they are boozed up and/or cracked up they would be coherent enough to be in those lines for hours on end.
We can go on all day like this, lets move on. The point is, the OP comment about $100 bucks being pathetic was NOT cool.
Yet many of you people defend the scalpers, the epitome of ME FIRST. A captialist society and ME FIRST go hand in hand. You can't have it both ways.
I can get with "Me First", I can't get with "Me Only". There is a bit of a difference there.
So you judged that poster as a ME ONLY based on one comment on a message forum?
The simple solution for future releases is for Apple to hold off and only do one simultaneous worldwide launch of new products. Problem solved. No controversial "no cash" policies necessary and universal access should stop the grey market.
new box of white 32gb wifi came into best buy on 5th ave a short while ago.
was looking for black. A few people bought but probably many left over

While I preferred the black as well, I would have been OK with the white. The white has a certain old school look.
It doesnt look that bad to me. I have a 16gb black that i want to return for a 32gb. So i'm kind of used to the black model. Still have a week left before my 14-day return window expires
A simultaneous worldwide launch would be daunting, if not impossible, to say the least.
NYC got a gigantic iPad 2 love fest today. The stores got big supply (well, relatively speaking). I got a 64gb black wifi and 32gb white wifi (sold out of 64gb white fast). I had the cab driver go from the UWS to 5th Ave and back to UWS around 6:30 - I was about 40th on line or so at the UWS location and they still had tons after, mostly 16gbs. Both UWS and 5th Ave were selling up until about 10:30 am. UWS opened up an hour early for people on line - they started giving out tickets for models around 7:30 and a little before 8am they opened.
As it pertains to scalpers, go check out CL and ebay, the market turned sharply downwards. If you're looking to make a buck, maybe you'll clear $50ish now, it looks like. That seems reasonable when you take the price of 'waiting' factor into the equation.

Girlfriend just went and they announced to the whole store that they don't have any white ones, only black. Who knows at this point, Best Buys are bad anywhere but the worst in NYC. They're probably just playing games with people now.
which location? I saw the box of ipads in front of me. Could have bought it but opted to wait on black
44th and 5th. She wanted a white 16gb or 32gb wifi one too. Manager told her "black only".
you are correct. Got the last one. Now to try and sell my 16gb model. Just looking to recoup cost to avoid the 10% restock fee
I thought they eliminated the 10% restocking
Did they??? When I click to send it back online it mentioned something about a 10% restock fee if plastic wrap is opened. Does anyone know the answer to this for sure? Would be great to just ship it back to them
You gotta buy from Target, they have a 90 day return policy (no restocking fee), open box or not.
