    They won't notice - they'll be moist with anticipation anyway. How much does it cost to hire a water cannon?

    Price

    "The iPad two remains on sale at $439 for the base model"

    JB Hi-Fi still have them at $553 in store and online. It should be $429 for the base model (http://store.apple.com/au/browse/home/shop_ipad/family/ipad/select_ipad2#in-the-box)

    Queuing

    I still cannot understand how anyone can queue for hours, days even, to spend money on a gadget.

    Seriously they are totally and utterly mad!!

      Because then they'll have theirs a few days before everyone else, which will make them unbelievably cool; with members of the opposite sex throwing themselves at them in adoration? They can then rush onto the internet and post pictures of it, and everyone on the internet will idolise them.

      In their heads.

    Supposed 4G incompatibility in Australia? Or Telstra strikes again?

    Won't make any difference in Newcastle

    Both the Fanboi stores in the North East are inside shopping malls.

    I blame the X-Factor. (May as well.)
