I think you'd have to be extremely lucky to get hold of one that late, given how many people will probably be queueing up during the day...
I bought the iPhone 4 at launch last year from the Cambridge Apple Retail Store, and although I turned up early there was still a massive queue when I arrived (a queue which just got bigger & bigger).
The iPad 2 launch in the US saw massive queues at the Apple Stores, with stock snapped up
just like that. I'd imagine the iPad 1 launch in the UK last year was the same, and that it'll happen here for the iPad 2 on Friday.
Also, given that there are no pre-orders or reservations this year, I'd expect it to be even more manic than last year. At least last year you could reserve one online for collection in-store... Not so this year, which I think would mean even more people would be queuing early, as they can't just reserve one & stroll in later on.
Why not buy online at 1am?
