Ipad 2 Australia

What really gets my dander up with Apple is all the hoo ha they carry on with when releasing a new product. The Ipad 2 is being released today at 5.00pm. People have been camping out since Wednesday in front of the Sydmey Apple Store. I am in business and it makes much more sense to allow pre ordering, that way Apple would know how many people want the new product and could still have plenty in stock for the few rare people that didn't know the Ipad2 was being released. I have to buy three for my boss. He says 'get them' I say 'how' he says 'he doesn't care'. I find this totally unsuitable to have to line up for hours and hours. I am not going to the Easter show, I am trying to purchase a product that is for both business and pleasure. Surely Apple doesn't need this publicity, the product speaks for itself, but honestly, its like be 13 and lining up for Justin Beiber. I have the Ipad and its great, but I would not line up for it. Apple gets it right in so many ways, but never when releasing a new product.
