Simple, so the News crews can cover the "massive lines" for free Apple publicity!
i won't be waiting this time for this "upgrade".

Maybe Apple got complaints from companies that employees were skipping work to buy their products?
Maybe issues with malls and shopping centers about peope lining up at midnight.

Better question why no pre orders or reserve for in store pickup

Isn't this obvious? Last iPad come out on a Saturday morning...you know, when most people aren't at work. Releasing at 5pm on a Friday gives us stiffs with jobs to make it without fear of a sellout.
If you want to ask why it's not on a saturday again, then your making sense

Are these going to be at best buy that day too?or just apple retail, that means I have a longer ride and a better chance of them being sold out if I have to go to my local apple store. Anyone know or should I call best buy and find out.

The original iPhone had a 5:00PM launch, too. I think.

There is a solid reason to this, but only Apple employees know and have signed a NDA agreement not to talk about it..

I was wondering about this as I work second shift mon-fri so I'll be at work when it launches... Really wanted it day one but, I'm not taking off work just to get it lol. Anyone know if the 5pm time slot is for all retailers or just apple?
So the unemployed can't spend money they don't have first.
I'm a little "inebriated" at the moment... What does that mean exactly?
