      Are you sure they open at 10 countrywide? I'd say half 9.

      Am I under-estimating how many people know about this?

      Definitely, especially for the dublin stores. Only going to be 3 or 4 per store supposedly, need to be there a few hours before hand at least.


      Is HN Naas sold out then? They seemed to be the last resort as they got in new stock today I think they said.

      Give a quick review? Worth it for an ipad 2 owner who has a touchpad reserved?

      Do you mean there are more now or none left?

      This thread moves too fast! I went in and the dude in the computer section immediately knew why I was there and said there none in stock anywhere, when I told him I had a reservation he just gave one to me. Apparently they sold out in 27 minutes!

      there are developers working on it at the moment over here

      I'd reckon there will be a few beta releases and then a release candidate in a few weeks.

      They will set-up a que. They will ask what you are in the que for, then its first come first serve. They will give one to the each person in the que as they go down the que. Its not like the doors open and everyone runs into the store :pac:

      Tried to get a lift to Naas with a friend but he's not interested. (*cough* w4nk3r *cough*)

      I guess there's no point in going in at 5pm when I can get out there next...

      Early tomorrow out to currys/pc world then.

      Local PC world didn't know anything about it, just rang them. I'll pop in tomorrow at 10 anyway just in case.

      They said they get new prices tomorrow morning.

      It's actually genuine, But I assumed it'd be taken as a joke.

      Edit: I've an iPad 2 which I won, perfectly happy with that :)

      Got the last one at Carrickmines! 32GB for 129€ reduced from 579€

      rang at 11.30 am and booked it, blessed.

      Literally picked up the last unit and wanted a 2nd but last meant last so cannot help out others. Guy there said even they cannot buy them and that no more of them were expected in. Lad there also reckoned HP would break them for components as there was good quality speakers and screen inside.

      Cheers once again lads, thanks for the help :D

      clicked through on the german "buy now" link there, looks like their server is down so you know what to expect when it hits the irish store

      Yes, when you've been on boards as long as I have you realize there are genuine people who are helpful and friendly. Obviously you have to ignore the numptys who aren't, but It's worth a try.

      Well first impressions are very good. The browser is quick to load pages and flash seems to work well. Scrolling is jittery across the board, not a deal breaker of course:p:p
      Best BA all year! Best of luck to everyone! I have an argos reservation code if anyone wants one(blanch).
