I can't find the thread right now, but someone found that if you hit the iPad Air promotional banner in the Apple Store app, a page comes up with the usual November 1st ordering text. Here's what it says: "Use the Apple Store app to order iPad Air and get free shipping or in-store pickup." I hope it's true

I totally read the other day at some place on the Apple website that you can order and pick it up at the store. I will try and find the page I saw this on.

Does anybody want to call them and find out if this is true? I called them a few days ago and they said they don't know this info yet if that'll be possible. If it were true you would think the actual website would say that but it doesn't.
I may be slow and blind... but where does it say you can do instore pickup the SAME DAY? Or on November 1st for that matter?
Sure, order and pick it up in the store NEXT WEEK, maybe?

Exactly. I asked them if I could order that morning or at 12:00 PST on Nov 1 then pick it up at noon and they said they're not sure yet to call back.
Pickup in store required conformation email sent from store, it might delay longer that day.
I called and they will not commit to same day in store pick-up based on available inventory. I do find it odd they can't just have a team of stock help pulling iPads aside. Online purchase is not a reserve it's a paid order. A sale is a sale.
I think another poster was correct- Apple WANTS the line.
Thinking it through- the release is Friday- do they really want to sell out that day and lose the whole weekend to potential sale numbers? My guess is there will be heavy stock. Wall street wants to see sale numbers on Monday.

Sure but when they do in-store p/u there is still a line, just separate from non-pre-orderers. They have two line queues set up, one for iDevice p/u & one for buying. I think when Apple doesn't allow launch day p/u it's because of a genuine logistics difficulty.
I will be surprised if they do same day pick up. It will be great if they do, otherwise I am ordering online.
Just about every item can be picked up in store. I'm sure the this will not be available on launch day. It was not available for iPhone until a week after launch.
