8 people lined up outside a store on the second day of product availability is pretty good. I saw photos of a couple of lines on opening day (from the UK) and they were massive, at least a hundred people long.

My brother was able to pick up an iPad here in Canada - I think yesterday. Not sure if he just walked in or had it reserved.

Given all the buzz, I actually expected that Apple would be selling them a little bit quicker, perhaps having just hit their 3 million milestone instead of 2.
