iPad 2 line at Pentagon City Apple Store

Just to show you how long the lines are for the iPad 2. I got in line at 1pm, had my iPad 2 and was out of the store by 6pm (including time spent syncing my iPad with my laptop in the store). This was shot shortly after 6 with this line still going strong and still lots of iPad tickets remaining (though I doubt they have any by the end of the night). Amazing that they were so well stocked!

It is by the pentagon but it's actually Arlington not Alexandria :-)

How much is the tax you normally pay on top of the prices shown, I live in the UK and flying over on easter and am slightly confused whether to buy in the uk or US. Can you tell me what model is your ipad and how much in total you paid for it. I will be in New York and Texas while I am in states.

Thanks

@nelsonlking That depends on the location. In Arlington, Virginia (location of the video) the tax was 5.0% which made the tax on the $729.00 model at $36.45 for a total of $765.45... I would buy in the US, our taxes are almost always cheaper than the VAT in the UK. Most state's range from 5% to 8% for sales tax.

Hey man, hope you're lovin your new iPad 2.

I also to ask, is there a max limit on the number of units each person can purchase?

There is no release date on the iPad 2 in Hong Kong.

SNACKS AND WATER? I didn't get squat when I waited for the ipad 2. On top of that when they ran out of the 16 gb version wifi only i got off line. I'm so stupid, never thought to myself I can put one up on ebay!

@mLswanson For us in Germany it's 19% tax, however the tax doesn't have to be paid on top, it's already included to the 479 € (cheapest model)
