It will be interesting to see when the Michigan Ave store shows none left in the json data feed today. Perhaps, then, we'll get a better of the delay. Nothings perfect though, and I am just grabbing the data from the json data feed and looking for interesting patterns.

It is showing all three available right now, but they only had the 16 gigs this morning and sold out by 11ish. I think the updates they are posting throughout the day aren't up to the minute availability, but rather they are updating what will be available the next day. Sadly, I don't think the data file will be any help in beating the lines... I live by the Chicago Michigan Ave. store and I noticed that the data feed from Apple was incorrect.
