When I walked by the Apple store in the Marina around noon on Friday, I saw 5 people in a special line on the sidewalk, waiting to purchase the iPad 2, which officially went on sale at 5:00pm. This was nothing compared to the line I saw a couple of hours later at the Union Square Apple store. It ran along 2 sides of the block. A store employee told me that the line started forming at 4 in the morning & that this was a "normal" turn-out for a new product. I bow down to Apple's ability to generate excitement for every iteration of their products.
