Apple: iPad News and Discussion Thread
According to Engadget there's less than 15 people waiting outside Apple's flagship NYC glass cube store for one of these devices.
I've been getting the impression that the hype is being forced at the last second. With appearances on Letterman and Colbert and that the actual demand isn't as strong and that they're trying to make as big a deal out of it as an iPhone launch but it's just not there.
We'll see what happens but I'm not expecting a line around the block for these things and it doesn't seem like it's going to happen.

i dont see the line being as long simple because people were able to order one online and have it shipped to their house.
not sure if it was the same case when the original iphone came out and 3G.

Meh, I was expecting to see a bunch of dorks waiting outside the Freehold Mall store yesterday. There was no one outside.
I still can't believe the amount of customers that are consistently inside an Apple store though. I think they are plants

I tried to upload a screenshot but it won't let me. They gotmit on lock down, which is actually good. The local best buy still has them in stock all models.
It's pretty nice!

you can't!
After using the iPad for a little bit I went back to my iPhone and thought "aww, look how small it is, it's so cute! It's like a precious little baby iPad!"
