iPad line watch: the few, the proud? (updating, Woz on deck!)
Posted in: Apple, apple ipad, AppleIpad, ipad, Today's Chili
We just landed at Apple’s 5th avenue flagship, “The Cube,” and it’s… a little bare. We count less than 15 people in line at this point (still headed by the inimitable Greg Packer), and most of them actually have pre-orders. Despite the minimal line situation, Apple has a huge section of The Cube’s plaza cordoned off to make room for more, and the NYPD is here with barriers galore, ready to lay down the law. We’re told the lines will be split between pre-orderers and non-pre-orderers at 6:30PM, at which point the scene will look truly pitiful. Presumably the crowd will grow later tonight and swell early next morning, as those pre-orderers with nothing to worry about shuffle in, breakfast in their bellies. Or maybe everyone just went to the beach for the weekend.
