Even though Apple's new iPad won't be arriving in stores for another week, lineups have started to form outside some of Apple's flagship locations. The new iPad will launch this Friday, March 16th giving customers their first chance to get a hold of one.

Apple has already sold out of their first and second batch of pre-orders with the online store showing that the new iPad will be shipped in two to three weeks from now. That means customers will only be able to get a hold of the new iPad by queuing in line. Apple is quoted saying sales have been 'off the charts'.

SlashGear talked with Ali and Zohaib at Apple's Regent Street store in London today. The two are hardcore iPad fanatics already in line to get their hands on Apple's new tablet.

I bought an iPad 2] for my husband two weeks ago, and then Apple jiggered me by announcing the new one," said Dezi Sweep of Manhattan. "The new iPad has improved papers, so I suppose he'll equal that. I'm accomplishment to try to change in the old one.

If your read the article correctly, you'll notice that iPads aren't shipping from the online store until 2 or 3 weeks from now. Standing in line will be the only sure way to get one on Friday.

If u areindeed a hardcore fan u would ve have known that the ioad pre order was up since the day it was announced till 4 days later. It didn t run out in four hours. U didnt need to make the line u had 4 days to buy them and have them on launch day in your house without stayin in kine for 5 days.
