Hoping to get your hands on one of Apple’s new iPads this Friday, but haven’t gotten around to preordering one? Then it’s time to dust off that urban camping gear. Apple has sold out of launch day preorders. “Customer response to the new iPad has been off the charts and the quantity available for preorder has been purchased,” Apple spokesperson Trudy Muller told AllThingsD.

The iPhone 3GS has been on the market just 10 days now, and already a growing number of Apple stores around the country are running short of the device. It seems that demand for the 3GS, which topped one million units sold its first weekend at market, has exceeded even the company’s presumably aggressive targets.
