Long line at the Aventura Mall Apple store as customers wait for the iPad 2 release at 5 p.m. today. This photo was taken by Anabel Llopis, a marketing director for the mall, who said there are hundreds in line.
Update: Pictured here is Alisa, the first person in line at Aventura Mall, who waited since 11:40 p.m. last night to get the iPad 2. It's her gift to herself for her birthday today. [Photo sent in by Aventura Mall's marketing manager, Alejandra Velasquez.]
I've also recieved reports of hundreds at the Lincoln Road Apple store. Share your line experience by sending me a message: bcarey@miamiherald.com or @BridgetCarey on Twitter.
The trick is not going to an Apple store. I waited about 2 3/4 hours on line at Best Buy in Hialeah. I bet other stores may have had even smaller lines. I understand that the iPad 2 was also on sale at Target and Walmart as well as AT&t stores. I did see an Apple representative who was making sure that everything ran in a way acceptable to Apple.

Don`t you think you`re better off not getting it straight away? Why not wait until all the blips and unexpected faults etc get sorted out. That way you still get state of the art technology but with a bit more patience you don`t have such a painful start.
