I went into a local Best Buy this morning right after open looking for something else... seeing a pile of people in the PC area I walked towards it and was told by a blueshirt with a clipboard "If you are here for a Touch Pad, we are out."

I had a quick chat with him about the details... sounds like they only had 9 units in stock, people had been lined up since at least 8 am (store opened @10)... and so they started handing out #'s to folks... only to have others try to buy said #'s while in line and well before the store opened.
