Queueing For new iPad

Gotfoodforphil

Hey all,
I was planning on getting up early and Queueing for the new iPad at compub on Grafton street and I was just wondering who else is planning on Queueing, what store and what time?

See you there!

emrys

i just pre ordered in harvey norman and picking it up on way to work - haven't queued since the original playstation came out:)

Should prob change this to a queue status thread etc?

Going to queue at Liffey valley in the morning!

Hard to imagine there will be a need to queue unless people just want to be there for when the store opens & get their iPad early. Sounds like there is no stock shortages for this iPad launch....

Was thinking about queuing myself. what time are people gonna head along at. I don't want to get up to early :-(

I just walked by compub on grafton street and there's no one there so at least no one's going mad this year!

I'm gonna get up at maybe 7 to head on for it

Outside CompuB now ... I'm maybe 30th in a queue of 40.

HMV f*cked me over. Reserved one of theirs in HMV yesterday to allegedly pick up this morning (early opening 8am) and this morning found signs on their windows saying "Reserve you new iPad for Monday!" They weren't even open for me to bitch at them...

Anyhow, here's hoping CompuB have the goodies.

Saw the queue at Compub. Walked down to Arnotts. Picked up a lovely new shiny iPad and walked back past the Compub queue, with bag in hand.. They seemed to have more than enough stock down there..

Dades

Go you.

Got one at pc world in Naas this morning. The very nice staff let me in early I was home and all before 7am ;-)

Dades

We're in the store here now. Bit of a pain they didn't open earlier. None of the staff too worried about a riot. They must have plenty!

mad muffin

None to be had in Laois.

Ordered online from App in the end.

Got them on the Arnotts website as well, just ordered one and had the confirmation. Should get it by Monday.

Got a 32GB Wifi black in PC World Galway this morning. I was the only one there! Manager saw me outside and let me in

Dades

Well I got my black wifi.

They'd started to run out of a few models in CompuB and some disgruntled people were leaving the queue of about 30 behind me.

Worth the hour or so in the queue to have it for the weekend!

xabi

No 32GB wifi only to be had anywhere in Cork it seems, tried, PC World, Currys, CompuB and Harveys - nothing. Did i miss anyone that stocks them?

decies

Got my 16 gb black, store opened at 9 in pc world Waterford , about 7 in the queue lol, am syncing apps it's very slow doing that !!!!

mariotr87

I was this morning in compub (limerick) queuing for a few minutes, just to find out that they didn't have any 64 wifi only and only two 32 wifi only. Due to my position in the queue I couldn't have got that one either so I just had to give up
Ordering 64GB, wifi only, black now online. At least I can choose what I want...I'll cancel if I find one of these tomorrow, but I don't think I will.

Got two 16gb wifi in PC World Jervis street about an hour ago.

No shortage of stock what so ever.

Two questions.

1. Has it fried your crotch to toast yet?
2. Do you notice any wifi connectivity problems / weaknesses?

Just the two issues which seem to be reported on the web?

There is a small section on the bottom left as you hold it with the home button on the right.
It's not hot, more like slightly over body temp, no issues whatsoever with that or Wifi.
Apple haterz are still gonna hate IMO.

I already had a sleeve for it I got a whole ago but bought a green smart cover and a screen protector too.

Thanks, as I'm buying one for the missus. I would get the iPad 2 if there was either or other of those issues. She would be in a tailspin trying to sort connectivity probs, if either myself or the kids were not around:o

Two 32 wifi only. None 64 Wifi only. There are quite a few of the rest of the models, I just didn't want 3G or less than 32GB.

Does anybody know if there are any 64gb wifi only models left anywhere in the city centre? Am almost thinking now that it isnt worth my while heading in

emrys

got 64gig wifi ipad in Harvey Normans (carrickmines) this morning - wont get to power it up till late tonight though:mad:

chrislad

Got mine but my iPad 2 case won't fit it unfortunately. I knew it was slightly thicker but I was hoping it would fit.

Screen is fantastic though.

What kinda cover was it.

Was looking to get one today but didn't manage it arnotts only have 16GB was looking for 32GB. I also have a 250 euro in all for one vouchers so that limits my choices.

HMV won't be getting them until Monday.

Anybody have any other location i can that preferably take all for one vouchers

It was just a non-brand one, but it had a fitted plastic holder for the iPad with a flip over cover that was closed with an elastic strap, something similar to a Kindle case. Loved it. Have to hunt for a new one now!

I got mine in brown Thomas at lunchtime. They had plenty of stock and I used my oneforall vouchers!

Reati

I got mine last night shortly after midnight when the nice people in PC world opened for an hour and gave everyone in the queue a "reserved" coupon for the model they wanted. You could get it there then or collect it by 8pm tonight. Great service!!!

That's strange.

I got a 32GB wi fi only (black) in CompuB Cork yesterday at 5PM. I called at lunchtime and asked them to hold one for me. No problem

Anyone have any ideas of anywhere that might have the new Ipad 64gb wifi only left, either colour? Based in south dublin but am willing to drive fairly far-ish.

Ive tried all the obvious places, harveys, pcworld, compu b, all the expert stores.

Cheers

Have tried calling Arnotts (slightly northside but just) and someone mentioned Brown Thomas earlier.
