The Line Outside Apple SoHo for iPad2
It’s a big day for Apple fan boys/girls everywhere, as 5 pm will see the release of the second generation iPad. The line outside Apple SoHo on Prince Street was surprisingly thin at 8:50 am. We would hazard a guess of roughly fifty people. Probably due to the inclement weather. Nevertheless, the wind and rain couldn’t stop the first person from grabbing his perch at 2 am this morning.

An Apple employee supervising the sidewalk line informed us that the SoHo branch doesn’t expect to sell out of iPad2 stock today. He said they might stay open past the usual 9 pm closing time, and was discouraging people from even queuing. We were also told that some “iLiners” are actually internationals. How it’s cheaper to purchase round-trip airfare and pick up an Apple product in NYC than it is in the home country.
