The tablet computing device of the decade thus far is the iPad 2, even though most of it was developed and designed in the last decade, and while the Android Army dearly wishes it could annihilate the iPad 2, Apple is giving a lot of angst to the dastardly droids.

Apple's iPad 2 is well and truly out there in the marketplace, both in officially launched countries, and those relying on marked-up grey imports of the iPad 2, with the buying frenzies at Apple's stores capture on Twitter and online - but the queues will continue!

Once upon a time, a crunchy company launched its second generation beginner's all-purpose, symbolic internet computer, calling it not BASIC, but the iPad 2, the giant iPod Touch facing off against a still-building Android tablet army that has yet to land a serious punch.

The iPad 2's 1am online ordering launch window must have seen massive traffic, for between 1 and 2am, it was impossible to place an order, with online ordering seemingly now working at 2.05am again.

The line for the iPad 2 has grown again at the Apple Store in Sydney's CBD on the corner of George and King St Thursday night, with just over 15 hours to go before the iPad 2 goes on sale at Apple's flagship Australian store.

In a nice little positive ambush marketing incident on the night before the iPad 2 launches, LogMeIn has provided free pizza and cookies to the Apple Store iQueue, feeding the body as Apple's iFans await spiritual and mental transdigital enlightenment.

With now less than 24 hours to go before the iPad 2 is officially available in Sydney, the iQueue line has grown from Alex Lee (or 'alexglee' on Twitter) yesterday, to 17 people in the line now, and presumably tons more to come tonight and tomorrow!
