Update: more photos here along with unboxing pictures!

I’m here at the Apple Store in the Santa Rosa Plaza mall. It’s 8:51 in the morning, so we don’t have long to go until the store opens. The lines have formed on both sides of the store, so it looks a little less hectic than it might be otherwise. There is a whole mix of different people here, from young dudes to older ladies.

I talked with one gentleman who has been in line for an hour. He’s here with his son who’s saved up money to pay for half of a shiny new iPad. I ask “so, why are you getting this?” “Movies, and also I’ll probably be getting Pages too. It’s on the App Store for $9.99.” Well well.
