I already had the 11th off from work, so I'll probably go there at around 3:00. What I would much prefer to do is order online early next week and have it delivered on the 11th. I am an impatient person and don't want to wait past the 11th to get one. I was the same way with the i4. I did stand in line then, even though I did have it pre-ordered, but the waiting was fun.
 
Really depends on where you are too. I'm sure there will be lines at every Apple Store, but how long those lines are will differ on your location.

If I were you, I'd just order online.

I lined up for the 4 last summer and had to stand in the heat and sun for 6 hours to get my phone. Never, ever going to do that again.
 
So I'm considering standing in line for the iPad 2 since they wouldn't allow preorders.


What time should I expect to get to the store to stand in line if I want to be reasonably sure I'll get one? Anything I need to know?
You need advice on standing in line?! :eek:

Buy online, wait for the delivery guy. All this "must have it NOW" attitude is not healthy, especially when in a line there is a risk of stabbing and whatnot.
