Quick observation is that I just got back from Reno, and decided to cruise by the Apple Store to check one out. When I got there, there were millions of people in the store, but the line outside to purchase was very short. I asked if there were any new iPads in stock, and they said yes. White? Verizon? Yes! Yes!
The very friendly Apple Store employee handed me a white ticket with the new iPad model I wanted, and I stood in line. Three people later, I had a new iPad and was headed out the door.
I’m surprised that they had some in stock.
I spoke with a few folks in line, and they hadn’t intended on buying one today but since there was a very short line, they did the same as I did. None of them had tried one or played with one. They were previous owners and just wanted to upgrade.
When I spoke to the very friendly Apple Store employee, he also asked me if I had even played with one. When I answered no, he said that is what everyone says. Talk about brand loyalty!
Tick tock. Waiting for sync…

As you know from the blog or the podcast/audioboo, someone stole my Android Transformer Prime tablet a couple of weeks ago. Rather then get another Android, I decided on the new iPad. Lets face it, Apple knows how to do this better than the other guys -- so far.
