shouldn't apple stores already have them too? I would think they would have them ready and all. What do you think? I'm about to go to sleep so I can wake up at 3am :D

There have been reports about stores like Walmart already receiving their supplies. They have been instructed by Apple to not sell them until the official day tomorrow though. This makes sense that they got them early so they can prepare for tomorrow especially since there are going to be some early morning buyers. ;)

The whole point of delivering today was to spread out the activation so that a million people aren't activating in a single day, which would result in crashes and delays like we saw last year.

Also, stores are likely getting their supplies today too, and they need a day to setup for tomorrow.

Or, they could just let me have it early, and I will take the hassle off their hands :D

I'm in line right now, have been since 2:30am. The reserve line is about 13-16 people, the no-reserve line is about 50-70 people! The opposite of what I was expecting, though it's still early....and humid.

I want to, but there's no Apple store nearby. And I heard rumors that most BestBuy stores will have a few or NO unit on 24th, as opposed to the 45 Engadget confirmed, so it seems Walmart is the only option.

But...isn't Walmart open 24/7? When will they arrive there?
