I don't think we'll be waiting until October. They should be in stores within a week of launch max.

It's quite an annoying day of the week to release a new product. If I order tomorrow, it's unlikely to arrive Saturday, which means I won't get it 'til Monday at the earliest.
Tuesday release would've been much nicer.

You actually think they won't be available to buy tomorrow?

They will defiinitely be available online tomorrow. I do agree that Friday is an odd day for release. I wish it was Tuesday so that my BTO would ship that same week.
I think they will be. I was responding to the OP saying staff at the store said it won't be available until October.
Ok, I'm confused. 4/10? Why is October coming into this thread? Or is that when they think v2 will be released?
Edit - don't worry, I realise now it's an Americanism.
In America 4/10 means April 10th, which is tomorrow, which is launch day, which is the day that they'll be in stores here...

See my post above. You have misunderstood 4/10.
Americanism? Well Apple is a US company. People are just using the normal date format.
Ah. Depends where is OP is from.
Americans for some unknown reason put the month first!
Most of the rest of the planet goes with DD/MM/YYYY.

Well yes, and we still use inches and pounds too.

Very true, but this is an American-based forum discussing products of an American company.

Then again 95.4% of the worlds population don't live in America...

Preaching to the converted there - Imperial is a British Empire measurement.
And I hate you guys every day for it. 3 years in the US and I still can't make any sense of it.
The only advantage I see is that Americans are very good at fractions and mental calculus

Accurate but irrelevant. If you come to the US, expect to measure distance in miles, have dates given in month-day-year format, and count your change in dollars rather than Euros.

Ahhh, but you're giving up your age or at least your field of employment.
Nobody in the (ex) British Empire uses Euros

How so ?

Yes on the Euro, heck the UK may not even be in the European Community much longer. I was trying to use a currency used by more than 0.88% of the world population.
Second comment is based on my observation that the sort of facility you mention don't seem to be common among younger people outside the math/tech fields. I'd be happy to be wrong about that but sitting in lots of meeting with people of all ages has given me a pretty strong impression that that's the case.
I have having a hard time getting connected to a retail store employee. Every time I call my local apple store I get transferred to apple rep instead of the someone at the retail location. Am I missing something here do I need to say a secret password to speak with someone at the store.
I've always been bothered by the day/month/year format of other countries (I know that makes me sound like an ******* American), but when you say today's date, you say "April 9th, 2015", not "9th, April 2015".. just silly.
