What about the alleged gift?

[Acevesx]

Was there not a rumor about those standing in line for the ipad would be receiving some special gift? I have not heard anything about this since...just wondering

I have not heard anything like this
Doesn't mean it isn't true of course, but I haven't heard it

If there is some type of free gift, I'm sure its something minor, like an Apple keychain or maybe some very cheap ipad accessory like a screen protector. I wouldn't be too excited about it.

It was a rumor but I think it was restricted to second-tier blogs, never saw it picked up by anything mainstream.

Apple will be giving out flashlights to those waiting in line.

Typically they give out t-shirts on a launch day or special occasion.
