Well, not that many. I thought it would be worse, maybe people will join you later.
3 hours to the opening. I got a sleepless night, I have already purchased apps, I guess I'll have some breakfast and come to join you and I'll bring my Mac too.
Got a tip for us?

Got here bout 5.30am and bout 50 people in front of me. Some nice dude from some app development thing askalfie.com was giving out free cereal bars 
I changed my mind; I'll have my breakfast later. I'm already on the DLR! I'll be the guy with glasses and a bright yellow Caterpillar bag if you can spot me you can come and say hello. Maybe will have lunch/brekfast together.
At least it's a nice morning for u guys...
Already got mine, but after the case and camera kit. When one of u gets in, please could you check the rough stock and if likely to sold out with the first few hundred in q. May head down later this afternoon when your all asleep!
Quite excited for you all ( lying in bed tho!)

lol good point kept the water in my bag. Some guys from the guinness book of records are giving out free oyster card wallets with links to their free app. They are also walking around the que with an iPad asking if any one can break the world record for the fastest person to type the Alphabet on an iPad. Someone just set new a new record for 6.3 seconds.
Here I am, queue is not bad. We are behind the corner in line and waiting. More people behind me probably 30 after 5 mins I've been queing.
Update: security want us to move foward, they expect the next half an hour to get busier.

Good luck folks!
If anyone can tell me if they're selling a decent range in store of, err, man bags for the iPad Id appreciate it. Might nip down to the manc Apple store late this afternoon when they've sold out and the queues have dissipated. The Apple case is good, but i need some kind of laptop bag for it.

Good luck to everyone queueing at London and across the UK, I hope everyone picks up what they are looking for!
I am also waiting for my home delivery to arrive, I woke up a lot earlier than normal.
Good tip for everyone already "out & about" -the Clinton Cards deal on iTunes cards starts this morning -buy a card of a certain value, get a second identical card for half price! This is a really simple way to make some savings on your new app purchases!

You guys should have gone to Brent Cross, I already pre ordered my iPad but I came to the store to get accessories. I got here at 6.30am and after a mad dash to the store there were only 30 people in front of me, and now I'll be next in. The atmosphere is fantastic!
Good luck to all that are waiting, you really won't be disappointed, it's a truely awesome device!!!!!

Is it just me who didn't expect it to be so big?
