So, who's buying an iPad this weekend?
I have an Apple Dealer connection so I should be able to avoid the line -- assuming they actually get stock to sell

1. Not this weekend, but likely soon.
Usually I'm not so prone to gadget desire, but I want one way bad.

3. Apple already run out of iPads.
My comment: "Well, bloody hell!" ;)

Should be available here beginning/mid April.

10. I'll wait until I see one in the thrift stores.
My computer purchasing strategy hasn't failed me yet... today's shiny new computer is tomorrow's trash.

But if everyone was like me engineers would still be using slide rules and the clerk at the corner grocery store would be using an abacus.

15. I can't wait to get one.
I love all things apple. I adore my macbook, and as far as the phone goes, all you really need is a touch, a pay-as-you-go cell, and a neighborhood map of all the free wireless bars. :)
