Friday's 5 pm release of the new iPad 2 left me somewhat disappointed and leaving me thinking that I would have to wait some time before I could get my hands on one. News reports of stores having line-ups of a thousand people convinced me that I would be saving my money until the stores would restock on this valuable treasure. I decided that Friday was out of the question.
Saturday morning came, and I stumbled out of bed earlier than expected. For what reason? This I am not sure. Perhaps fate had a plan that I was not prevy to at that early hour. After getting dressed and eating breakfast, I decided to head to the mall even though the Apple store was not open yet. Perhaps a quick peek to see how long the line-up was, couldn't hurt. Right?
The line-up was short, maybe 15-20 people and the doors to the Apple store were already open. One by one, customers were escorted into the store to make their purchase. This was my chance as I had no where else to be this early on a Saturday. In total, I waited an hour from the moment I stepped into that line until I was walking out of the Apple store with my new purchase in hand.
As a test, I felt I should type this blog on my new iPad. Considering the keypad is a little difficult to get used to, I think I did pretty good (even if the space was giving me a little trouble).
To all those waiting for theirs to arrive in their hands, it's well worth the wait!
