3G Lines

[tigres]

since you insisted. right when i was walking up to the line @ 9:59am. a whopping 4 people there.

Dont' kill each other

 

[Zepaw]

God bless you all, but I don't know why anyone is lining up this early. I considered it, but figured there was too much of a chance I would be alone for at least a few hours. Guess I was right.

At tysons corner mall......NO line!!! Store is not real busy but some action there. They will close at 4:00 and reopen at 5:00. I imagine the line will start building up at around 2:00 or so.

heh, i'd think the reston store would have 0 people there, but never know.

all the rich kids from McLean will probably show up right after school lets out.

I think our enthusiasm here isn't exactly what is happening in the real world. The lines may not be that bad at all.

Me, my brother and his girlfriend are # 5, 6 and 7 in line on long island... About 12 people on line now...

Drove by a couple of Best Buys (with Apple Shops in them) and there was no line at all. Also drove by the Deer Park Apple Store....and no line there either. I'm thinking that around this area it might not be terribly busy until maybe an hour or so before the launch.

I'm guessing if it's busy anywhere, it might be at the NMA store downtown.

I'm one of 3 in line here in Houston. Nothing like I expected.

Hey Everyone,

So Me and My GF were at the Fashion Valley Mall San Diego Store waiting in Line and we were just asked to leave the Mall til it technically opens at 10am

The Security Guard also said that the Mall Management had no idea of a Special Event Occurring today , and until the Apple Store Notifies them the we are not allowed to Form a line outside the store.

All we can do is wait in the Malls Food Court.

So until 10am we are back at home browsing the forums trying to get more info.

If you ever see this post how long are the lines there right now? I plan on heading to Fashion Valley around 12 or 1, that could change though.

SF flagship store (Stockton St) has no line as of now. It's west coast so you can't really compare with NY but, so far underwhelming looking. I'm still thinking if I get 3G one and sell Wifi...

 

[gwynne]

No line @ Durham/Southpoint at 1pm. (I was in the B&N next door picking up a Nook for husband. /twitter)

 

[bigjnyc]

Ooops. Manager better fix that while he still has a job.

yeah because they're going to fire a manager over a bunch of geeks who want to line up for a gadget

LOL I love how you get sarcastic about the lack of lines after you started a thread asking for pictures of lines.

Is anyone waiting in line at any Apple Store in Los Angeles?

Manhattan Village? 3rd st? grove? irvine?

how many people are in line?

 

[mark34]

No line Austin Domain 12:55 pm.

 

[tivoboy]

no line

no line in palo alto, ca, pretty much as close to the mother ship as you can get. Wonder what is going on, are they just walking in and getting tickets?

That's the key thing - kids in school, along with adults working, college students coming up on final exams or already taking them, and that you could have pre-ordered them for over a month and able to get them today. Lines may get bigger in the last couple hours once people get out of class/off work, but Apple's decision for the pre-order and ship, as well as already releasing the WIFI-only version about a month ago, really cut into the chance for huge lines.

No, because the mall may not have enough security to allow geeks to wait in line and 1) Apple loses sales b/c they can only legally allow so many people in the store at one time and the mall isn't allowing overflow to line up or 2) the mall fines Apple for not giving it notice of the "special event" as stated in the lease.

It's the managers #1 job to make sure the store is operating at max efficiency. That is what a manager does. Neglected to inform mall security as required is a dereliction of that duty, that's why Apple might want to can him.

I never put it together before until now! Steve is such a lefty that he loves lines!! That's why there are always lines!!! It must make him feel good to create lines, like it felt good for Lenin and other commies to create bread lines, toilet paper lines...

I'm curious about lines in Perimeter Mall here in GA. Anyone?? I'll probably head out there around 3pm to see if I can snag a 3G model.
