That's awesome - they did that for the IP4 launch too!
 
Heading to IP apple Store line now after just eating Chick fil a in food court. Figures I missed a free meal! :(
 
Just left Tampa Apple Store. About 50-60 in line. I'm sure by 5pm many more. I asked about supply and such and of course they don't know. May drop back after my game at 4. Anybody at Tampa I would appreciate an update during the afternoon.
 
Feel bad for all of you showing up now at IP, but at least it doesn't appear to be getting any longer (than 60 people) at the moment. I am 9th in line and have been here since 7am.
 
#1 in line in Brandon bestbuy. Called Brandon AS and they told me line was 100+..

Edit.. I'm also only one in line :) I had to ask them to create one. Tickets coming at 430
 
Got scared and headed down to Brandon. About 40th in line. Dicks has a 2/$15 special on folding chairs if you don't have any already. Good atmosphere with free coffee and water.
 
IP Apple Store are asking what models we want while we wait in line They are out of black 32gb 3G AT&T. Grr. Had to go with 64
 
They are handing out tickets now at IP.

Still in stock

So... I just went by Best Buy in Brandon 10 minutes before they closed and they still have two models left in stock. Black WIFI only 16GB and White 64 GB Verizon 3G!

Just a heads up for anyone looking for one in the AM tomorrow!
 
Wow..! There must have been 100ish people there, and they told us they had 120-150pcs.

BBY went flawlessly. Tickets came out at 430 on the dot, ipads started at 5pm on the dot.

Great experience overall, and i haven't been able to put the thing down yet.
 
I'm loving mine as well. My wife seems to be really enjoying hers too. We both got the White 64GB Verizon 3G.
 
Yeah, I went to BBY in Brandon too. Got there at 540 and was out by 640. They were awesome and this iPad 2 is seeming to be worth more than I thought. Awesome so far!
