SOunds like a good plan...I have been using my iphone on the charge and charging my Mac pro so when I get out of the car. Will line up when another car comes or so...Last time I waited for the iphone was there most of the night. At around 5 am these two guys come up and totally jump ahead of me and another guy. Tottally pissed. Oh well still got one but principle after w8ing that long in my car...

You would think if pulling up and you know another car has been there longer you would give that person first dibs in line.
 
There's one other guy here in Grapevine now.. been slow so far!

I used an iPad while we were setting it up at my Best Buy, and it was absolutely amazing. The guys that had doubted/trash talked it before we opened the demo unit could say nothing but "Wow, just look at that screen!" when we were using it.

I'm in Texas also. What time are the Best Buys supposed to open this morning, and will they have stock of the iPad accessories also (case, dock etc)?

We have 5 at Grapevine now.

He is across parking lot kinda but sitting there and so not getting out of car just yet...I would rather hang in the cars and then go...That wont last much longer Im afraid...People out of cars there yet

They open at 9 and from what people are saying they will have accessories as well
 
It's 6:40 here in Maine and I'm the only one here. Started driving around at midnight, went home for a while. Couldn't sleep. So here I am. Still in my car though, until someone else shows up, Maine isn't a warm climate. Someone just drove in, might be employee. Don't wanna get out yet haha. BORED.
 
I'm all alone at my Best Buy, too lol. One of the geek squad guys just showed up and he told me Apple came after they closed last night to set everything up...I thought that was funny that they don't trust Best Buy to do it.
 
Ditto still working some and about to surf Itunes store some...Need to clean up music and videos. Now its 6 and still me and another guy sitting in our cars. Very suprised not more turn out but hey that is good. My nephew not here yet and wondering how that is going to pan out since he is only 13 but going to give him a credit card and let him buy one also. Not sure if that is going to work. Well see I guess. If more people dont show really wont be a problem. I bet alot of people pre reserved since we have several apple stores in our area
 
1st one at my Best Buy parking lot...Second car just pulled up with 2 people in...They aren't getting out of the car yet, hopefully they won't yet, I don't want to sit out in the rain for 4 hours...Or at least hopefully the Best Buy people will let us in if it starts coming down hard...At least they have a sign that says line starts here by the entrance...
 
Funny thing is the people in the other car are 2 older women, maybe mid 40's, they don't exactly look like the iPad crowd...Maybe Ebay'ers I am guessing...
 
IM at the store in NRH by Northeast mall.

Never know about women sitting in there car....Prob ebay people...I would not want to mess with that.

Weather is suppose to be around 80 today and about 60 now
 
At BB in Springfiled VA handing out numbers for iPad

They will be handing out numbers for the amount of iPads they have at 9:30am.

Those who get a number can get an iPad at 10 am when they open.

No idea of how many of each model they will have.

Only ME here at 7:30.
 
Wow. Hardly any lines at Best Buy for the iPad.

This thing is a complete bust.

;)

Seriously, I admire anyone with the stamina to wait overnight for anything.
