UK iPad launch info

Check the Macrumours news feed area. 8am practically confirmed. It will be 8am in the launch countries local time so even if it is 8am in the US, it will still be 8am UK time. Good luck!

 

I phoned one of the bristol stores today and the guy said they still dont know, i really hope it is 8am not 5pm which seems really stupid to me, doesnt make any sense.

 

I can't see how they could open at 5pm. Surely, the queues would be there all day and would be massive causing disruption to other shoppers.

 

They did for iPad 2.

This, however, is more or less certain to be 8am.

 

Thats another reason why it doesnt make sense to me, yes they did it when the ipad 2 was launched, but in everyway its better to be 8am, i just hope everyone thats confident that it is 8am is correct!

 

I have just spoken to my local store, they could not confirm the launch time for friday but they did say it would be announced @ http://www.apple.com/uk this afternoon !

Here's hoping for a 5pm launch like last year ! But if the rumours are to believed it's going to be 8am.

 

I was planning to visit the SOuthgate store in Bath but christ, 4am in the morning. Thats nuts. I was planning to get there for about 6.30

 

anyone know which stores other than apple will be getting stock in to sell?

 

Important question! I'd also like some information on this

 

I heard that Tescos will be getting large stocks. If so then, will they be releasing Ipads for sale at midnight at their 24 hour stores?

 

Not a chance unless they want Apple to come down on them like a ton of bricks.

 

Pretty sure some Argos stores should have them.

 

Maybe currys and comet? And yea also argos

 

I'm going in southgate on Friday to pick up an Apple TV, hope I don't have to que!

John Lewis or PC Worlds are the best bet other than Apple.

 

will take a walk into the town round my university then see if i can get one as im not near an apple store till saturday when im guessing they will likely of sold out

 

I spoke to someone at pc world and he said my store won't have them on launch, he said the bigger stores will be first to get them then the smaller stores. Not sure whether to believe it or not but il look anyway he said it took his store a month to get the iPad 2.
