"The future starts today"- or yes, I did buy an iPad.
Here's a picture of me holding 64 gig iPad at the Kenwood Apple Store after my 2 1/2 hour wait in line.
Waiting in line was kind of my fault as I could have pre-ordered it and had it sent to my home or had one reserved for me at the store. For a while, I thought about waiting for the next model, but realistically, that was never an option. I truly do believe that the iPad is the future of computing so why wait when you can have the future today?
The Apple shopping experience is unlike any other. First, there's the line. You really won't find a line anywhere of friendlier people. It really is kind of like a party. Apple employees had carts with coffee, tea, or bottled water.
Once you get to the front of the line, an Apple employee would come shake your hand, ask your name, and then act as your person concierge for your entire visit to the Apple store. The Apple employee offered to demo a unit for me and to setup the iPad for me after I purchased it. No rushing to move to the next customer whatsoever. For me, I would have been happy with a giant stack of iPads for me to pick up and take to checkout, but for someone new to Apple, this kind of service would make a world of difference.
