Apple has yet to officially announce a firm opening date for the Atlantic City Apple Store in The Pier at Caesars but when they do I’ll post it here and also to the ACAMUG Discussion List which is where we’ll make plans for those wishing to attend it as a group. If you’re not already on the Discussion List click on the link and sign up. And please don’t be afraid to post messages in the meantime.

Looks like there are two factions: those who want to experience the joyful exuberance waiting hours in line to be the first in the doors (and get a free tee shirt) and the people who have more sense. Those of us in the former category can decide on an overall time to meet at The Pier and make carpool arrangements to cut down on parking hassles. You other spoilsports can arrange your carpools to arrive whenever you feel like getting out of bed. And no, we won’t get an extra tee shirt for you.

Non ACAMUG members who also want to attend are welcome to join in. Assuming Apple’s got their Wi-Fi turned on early we’ll hopefully have live updates and photos on this site.

06-Jul-31 Update

We still don’t have an official opening date (the rumored August 1st date would have been odd falling on a Tuesday but since we haven’t heard anything anyway its a moot point.) Best info we have is that it will be “sometime in August.” Apple typically opens on a Saturday so likely guesses would be the 5th, 12th, 19th or 26th. If it is this Saturday (the 5th) we should be hearing something in the next day or two.
