Not surprisingly, lines for the new iPad have started as it goes on sale in 10 countries. In fact, those waiting in the line in Australia have already managed to get their hands on the third generation iPad.

As we mentioned earlier, with shipping estimates for the new iPad slipping to 2-3 weeks, one way to get your hands on Apple's new iPad is to stand in line outside the Apple Store or other third-party retailers.

    The first I heard of people ever lining up for a product launch was for Dragon Warrior 3 in Japan. Remember as a kid reading it in some Nintendo Power magazine and wondering what on earth can posses people to line for anything. Oddly enough, now it seems expected. Fortunately, I managed to order two and will selling my extra one online tomorrow :).

    No line in Zurich, Switzerland either. I arranged that the concierge of my hotel sent hotel employees to the apple store to purchase a total of 16 NiP's (all 64Gb 4G's) for my family and friends. Im glad my brother drives an Audi Q7 so we have no problems with storage space on the drive back to the netherlands. Tomorrow i expect to be in london and i am planning to visit the kensington applestore at Regent Street. Lets hope they are not already sold out there.
