iPad mini released tomorrow!

Tomorrow is the big day for Apple's small tablet, the iPad mini. Hopefully you put in your pre-order so you won't have to wait in line. If you didn't pre-order the iPad mini, then shame on you and you deserve to wait in line. However, I'm going to give you a list of some things to help you pass the time more comfortably. Let's go!

Warm coat
You will more than likely be waiting outside in the cold. Bring a warm coat so you don't catch a cold. In fact, you might want a nice pair of gloves so you can feel your hands when you try to use your new iPad mini.

Energy drink/shot
Grab a favorite energy drink or energy shot to help you stay awake, since you will probably be in line all night or getting up early in the morning. Check with your doctor first to make sure that an energy drink won't have any negative effects on your health.

A book you will put in iBooks
Take a favorite book to help pass the time. When you get your new iPad mini head over to the iBookstore and get started with your new iBooks library.

Fold up chair
You may make fun of people who sit in chairs when they wait in line for movies or huge product launches like the iPad mini, however, standing for hours in a single spot without being able to move is awful. Having a chair to sit in will save your feet and back from days of soreness.

Credit or debit card
For your safety you should not bring cash to pay for your iPad mini. Having worked for Gamestop and AT&T I have experience with several product launches in which there were lines. Thankfully I haven't experienced anyone getting robbed in line, but I have heard of them from other stores. Bring a credit or debit card to pay for your purchase and leave your cash at home.

Expect a great time
Waiting for something you want right now can be annoying. When I say annoying, I mean for the people around you not for yourself. Just take a look at any 7 year old waiting for Christmas day and you'll understand what I'm talking about. Bring a sense of excitement with you and share that with your comrades waiting in line. Have fun and enjoy the event!

So that's a short list of things I recommend you have with you when you go to this event tonight or tomorrow morning. And yes, it is an event. If you have never been a part of an Apple launch then you will understand what I'm talking about tomorrow. Have fun guys and let me know what you think of the whole experience and definitely let me know how you like your new iPad mini.
