I know, but what's the point of sleeping outside an Apple store?
There are huge lines exclusively when Apple announce a specific release date of iSomething to the whole world. Media events are hardly known to general public, the public that constitute those huge lines.
Um, it broke the Droid X release day record, in two hours. Between the hours of 3am and 5am Eastern. With only people that were already Verizon customers. Buying an 8 month old smartphone. And that article that got the sales numbers from 5 Apple stores and didn't give the readers ALL the statistics also stated that 30% of those opening day sales were to Android users.
Where did you come up with the numbers to concluded that it was not so impressive?
It is the general idea that I got. How many people did you see in lines on launch day? Did the servers choke from the orders? I'm not saying it was not successful but they were expecting more people, that's pretty obvious. They blamed the low sales on retail stores on high sales online. Any numbers that Verizon or Apple announce I would take with a grain of salt.
Fanboy alert
I don't think so.
Do you seriously believe that Apple and Verizon could get away with lying about sales/activations?
There's no reason to stand outside an Apple store, you don't accomplish anything these days.. There's enough lead time on iOS products and free shipping, why wouldn't you buy online? A lot of Verizon folks got there iPhones several days early..
I'd give the iPad2 AT LEAST until the end of next week to be released, no time before that Apple would want to allow the media and advertisers to build up the hype for a minimum of a week.

well there hasnt been any news about shipment crates like with the macbook pro so i doubt it's going to be in stores on wednesday 2nd, just available for order online the first day while they get shipments out.
