Even though Apple's new iPad won't be arriving in stores for another week, lineups have started to form outside some of Apple's flagship locations. The new iPad will launch this Friday, March 16th giving customers their first chance to get a hold of one.

Apple has already sold out of their first and second batch of pre-orders with the online store showing that the new iPad will be shipped in two to three weeks from now. That means customers will only be able to get a hold of the new iPad by queuing in line. Apple is quoted saying sales have been 'off the charts'.

If your read the article correctly, you'll notice that iPads aren't shipping from the online store until 2 or 3 weeks from now. Standing in line will be the only sure way to get one on Friday.
