There are already thousands of units in the flagship store. Although the iPad will be officially launched from 8:00 this morning, Mr. Ma arrived at the door of the Lujiazui Apple retail flagship store at about 1 pm yesterday and became the first consumer to queue up for an iPad. Mr. Ma already has an iPad and an iPhone4. He also plans to buy two 64G iPads. Until about 2pm yesterday, a total of six “fruit powders” came in line. The staff member stated that it was not possible to disclose the number of first arrivals in the store. The sales on the first day could still be guaranteed, but only two were purchased by each person.

According to Apple's official website, in addition to the flagship store, the number of specific distributors participating in the launch of the iPad in the city is about 20, but all of them do not accept advance booking and group purchase requirements. In the Apple-specific dealership store in Ganghui, the clerk said that since the announcement of the iPad's release, the "fruit powder" has been on the phone. The clerk also revealed that the current stock of goods in the store is sufficient, at least a few thousand.

iPhone4 accepts an appointment from this day yesterday, China Unicom official website announced: China Unicom will begin at 10:00 on September 17, accept the iPhone4 contract plan appointment. Unicom version iPhone4 will be divided into 16G version and 32G version, the contract price is 5880 yuan, 6999 yuan, and iPhone3GS the same price, only the sales contract package plan, not a separate sales of bare metal, and need to sign 2 years in the network protocol. In addition to China Unicom's own iPhone authorized business hall, Suning Appliance iPhone4 authorized stores can also accept appointments. Regarding the arrival plan of the first batch of iPhone4, the contents of Unicom and Suning Content Department gave the reporters a reply that “the plan has not yet been confirmed”, but it does not deny that the initial period of the listing might result in shortage of goods due to panic buying. Suning insiders revealed that the appointment is only to obtain priority, and may not be able to buy iPhone4.

According to this judgment, it is likely to be listed before the “11”.
