Will You Queue Up for the Latest iPad?

The latest iPad is sold out online so those looking to snag the new device best prepare to stand in long lines on Friday; some in London are reportedly camping out already.

What buyers will get on the new iPad—not called iPad 3 by the way—is “a crisper Retina display, faster processor, voice dictation and the ability to run on the speediest 4G wireless data networks,” according to USAToday.

Two fan boys in London are enamored enough with the updates that SlashGear found them in line for the long haul—lots of warm clothing and the requisite folding chair—at an Apple store on Regent Street.

The first ship date for pre-order online sales is March 19; three days after the iPad will be available for purchase in retail stores. Prices start at $499 for the WiFi version, and $629 for the 4G version, minus the data plan.

In Los Gatos, the hugely popularstore, 23 N. Santa Cruz Ave., began seeing customers line up to purchase the new iPad beginning at 6 p.m. Thursday.

A store representative said doors will open at 8 a.m. Friday and associates will sell the gadgets until they run out and close at 9 p.m. that evening.

In Campbell, the Verizon Wireless store, 535 West Hamilton Ave., has confirmed it will carry the new iPad and has already taken deposits.

In Cupertino, buyers will have to leave their ZIP code to find a new iPad—the store at Apple’s headquarters won’t have any in stock for a while since most of its customers are Apple employees who aren’t eligible for employee discounts on new releases.

Other locations include Valley Fair and Oakridge malls in San Jose and two locations in Palo Alto—Stanford Mall and 451 University Ave.
