新iPadの発売日の米国内のApple Storeは朝8時開店だそうです。日本も当然8時でしょうというところですが、まだ正式アナウンスはありません。
オンラインではすでに第1回目の出荷分は売り切れてしまい、次回は2縲怩R週間後の入荷とのことですから、開店時間が8時であろうが10時であろうが当日の行列は長くなるのではないでしょうか。と考えると、行列によるご近所迷惑も考えれば8時開店になりそうですが。
iPad用の液晶保護フィルムも事前に用意しておこうと思ったのに、なんだかぼんやりしております。楽しみにしているのですが、まだ実感がないからか…。

Apple Retail Store Signage Confirms 8:00 AM Launch for New iPad on Friday:
Yesterday, we noted that Apple's grand opening of its new Highland Village retail store scheduled for 8:00 AM on Friday hinted that the company was likely to planning to launch the new iPad at that time rather than in a late afternoon launch as was seen with the iPad 2.
We received word soon after that visual merchandising staff at Apple's retail stores were scheduled for an overnight shift on Thursday night into Friday morning in order to prepare the store for a morning launch, and now 9to5Mac posts a photo from a retail store source showing some of the new signage going up this week confirming an 8:00 AM launch for the device on Friday.
Apple's product launches have historically been scheduled by local time, so customers in any of the iPad launch countries with Apple retail stores should expect those stores to open at 8:00 AM in their local time zones. With Apple having sold out of its initial batch of online pre-orders for Friday delivery, those still looking to secure an iPad on launch day will need to wait in line at an Apple retail store or other launch retailer in hopes of obtaining one.
