  I just don't get it, why lose sleep over something you can have in the next couple weeks, they aren't going to run out of ipads, even if you have to wait a little while. Are people waiting in line so they can use it for 30 minutes before going to bed and then go blabbing to their respective internet forums about how sweet it is that they have some piece of tech that everyone will have next month? Makes no sense, you could have spent those precious moments playing video games.
