iPad launch day, Broadway/UWS store
The sun-dappled temple of Apple just north of Lincoln Center was quite a bit more laid-back than the 5th Ave. store, at least by the time I arrived in the late morning. Reservations were being handled downstairs (no line to speak of) and walk-in sales up on the show floor. Stock of all three models was "fine," according to overheard chatter between salesfolk and would-be buyers. (They also seem to be pushing the MobileMe, for what it's worth.)I did swing by the Best Buy that's conveniently located between the two uptown NYC Apple Stores, and indeed they also had iPads in stock. No line there either, but a nice little crowd chatting with the Apple Specialist. Note to whoever put the laserprinted sign on the front door: it's "iPads," not "Ipads."

I spent about an hour in the Upper West Side store, with bright sunlight pouring in through the glass roof, with an iPad. I had no problems reading books or seeing the screen with many apps, as long as the brightness was suitably adjusted.

What if the iPad actually changed the world? I'm all for it trying.
Click the button and the world is your oyster. Unfortunately it's made in flash so you won't be able to view it on your iPad.

So, as I have used an iPad in direct sunlight and you have not, we can safely assume that you're talking out your ass.
Note to whoever wrote this post: it's "laser-printed", not "laserprinted".
