Default How will you get yours?

I am planning to get one as soon as possible after the launch.....

Trouble is I am not sure of the best way to really get one FAST. Options include:

- Preorder on the Apple Web Site - Guess the date was not the 25th!
- Wait on line at an Apple Store. I waited 3.5 hrs for an iPhone, Yuck!
- Wait on line at Best Buy. Rumor has it they will have them at launch.

- all three?

What does everyone think?

I'm one of those people that hates buying things online, strictly because once I buy something, I want to use it right then and there. Or, you know, within at least a minimal amount of time. I hate waiting to use something I bought. That's one of the reasons I won't pre-order from the online Apple Store even if given the opportunity.

Waiting in line at the Apple Store may be fun for some people, but considering the length of time it takes, it may not be worth it. The best option, if you're only picking one up at launch, might be to head to a local Best Buy. If they are indeed ready to sell the tablet, the lines there might not be so bad.

I am really the same way....thats why I waited on the store line for the iPhone. And it was my Birthday last year. My wife gratiously let me do whatever I wanted on my Brithday and lost herself in the mall for a few hours. She even brought me food.

This time I think I want to find a store in Podunk USA where they have no clue and Me and the one other smart geek are the only ones waiting in line.

Then in that case, we need to find somewhere in the Midwest. It'll be just us, and Vincent.

Nice job, Toby. Now instead of having to repeatedly explain all this at length, I can just refer people here!

Who cares. If people wanna buy into the whole 3D fad then let them. It's a novelty that wears off very quicky. As a professional photographer my iPad 2 does everything I need it to do and 3D is not a requirement in my daily working life. I for one couldnt care less for 3D as you can probably guess lol m4v to wmv converter I'm extra on the train and am on the road and wants the Internet.?But I have no Ipad with 3G and internet flat I have not so that I connect via bluetooth with my phone Ipad.?Need urgent help!?Thanks?
