It's that time of year again, when middle class folk take to the streets to spend a night under the stars – not in the name of charity but in the name of Apple. Well, Apple and a healthy dose of enterprising spirit. The queue for the iPad 2 at Apple's flagship Regent Street store was about 150-people strong when TechRadar visited first thing this morning. Nice day for it Basking in the sunshine, the VIP area outside the Apple Store, which houses the first 20 queuers, had a nice community feel after a cold night's queuing. "I got here about midday yesterday," second-in-line Louis told us. "You hear about the short supplies and I don't have an iPad 1 so I didn't want to take any chances. Better to get it now than later because I don't want to wait." Third-in-line Ben is planning to buy two – one for himself and one for his mum on Mother's Day. Ben was the first person in the iPhone 4 queue - but all these guys are seasoned Apple queuers and well aware of the media hot-property that they become for the day.
