Re: iPad 2 to be announced on 3/2
 

Just found out, Walmart should have them delivered on Thursday.
Stores open 24 hours a day will have them on sale long before anyone else does.
If they address the truck load promptly, you may even be able to get one at midnight and be the first on your block.
I have two of them near me open 24 hours a day.:dance:

Re: iPad 2 to be announced on 3/2
 

Looks like Apple is making everyone hold until 5 pm on Friday to sell the new iPad.

Looks like there is validity to this article.
Verizon already updated site to reflect on sale at 5 p.m.

Re: iPad 2 to be announced on 3/2
 

Apple doesn't want people take off from work ? Why limit to after 5pm ?

Re: iPad 2 to be announced on 3/2
 

I think they did the same thing last time around.
They shut down the store at 4 and prepare just for mostly iPad sale and don't disrupt the other aspect of the business......I think.

Re: iPad 2 to be announced on 3/2
 

Early reviews.

Re: iPad 2 to be announced on 3/2
 

The wife just asked last night if she can get an iPad 2. I just read the reviews from Carlos' link, and the wifi vs 3g debate, and I think I will tell her "yes" on a 64MB wifi version. :)

Re: iPad 2 to be announced on 3/2
 

Every time I thought I made up my mind, I wonder again.

I still think best for me to get the 3G and have it if I want it rather than not if I do.
At the end of the day, $129 for me for the 3G or for the wife to go shopping on clothing.
Either way, it is GONE!!!:r

Re: iPad 2 to be announced on 3/2
 

The more reviews I read, the more I really want one. My wife has a chance to win one during an incentive contest this month at her job, but she says everyone is trying really hard to win so it's going to come down to luck

Re: iPad 2 to be announced on 3/2
 

So.......
Easy fix.
Buy one.
Hope like heck she wins.
If she does, you will each have one and no fighting over it.;)

I can't wait to get my hands on it except I know it will be hard to take it away from my grandson at first.

Re: iPad 2 to be announced on 3/2
 

For all those that may prefer a tablet other than iPad, looks like you may be in luck if you just sit tight and wait for the oversupply to hit the market and collect dust.
81 million tablets combined expected in 2011.
Amazing!

Re: iPad 2 to be announced on 3/2
 

Wish I could, I'm just going to hope like heck she wins, and let her use it whenever she wants :noon

Re: iPad 2 to be announced on 3/2
 

Now this really pisses me off.
Online is not at 12:01 a.m.
It will be at 1 a.m. PST or 4 a.m. for me on EST.
Cavrones!!!

5 p.m. in store for all locations/stores/retailers.

Re: iPad 2 to be announced on 3/2
 

Just got mine!!!

Re: iPad 2 to be announced on 3/2
 

Perhaps because I am a biased Apple Fan Boy but this thing is sweet.

If you like the original iPad, you will love this one.

The speed difference is immediately notable.

The size difference is awesome.

The Smart Cover works very nicely with it.

It is just a sweet device and again, if you liked the first one, this one is a must have for you.

Re: iPad 2 to be announced on 3/2
 

Congrats!

Re: iPad 2 to be announced on 3/2
 

Now I want one. I need some help though. Should I get the 16 or 32MB one?

Also, do you think I will be able to go to Walmart or BestBuy and get one or will they be sold out?

Re: iPad 2 to be announced on 3/2
 

I save a $150 dollars and got the refurbished 16G IPad 1 for $349. Could not pass it up at that price.

Re: iPad 2 to be announced on 3/2
 

Amazing.
We called the Apple Store before they closed last night and was told they were totally sold out on the AT&T 3G but had plenty of Verizon.
Stock was the same for both.
Interesting.
Appears all the negativity about AT&T v. Verizon is confined to a few and not the masses.
Apparently the masses have read the results that AT&T blows Verizon away on 3G speeds.

Re: iPad 2 to be announced on 3/2
 

All the local shops here are sold out. I place my order today with Apple for a Black 32GB wifi. It says it will take 2-3 weeks :(

Re: iPad 2 to be announced on 3/2
 

To process. Add shipping time after that. ;s

Re: iPad 2 to be announced on 3/2
 

Yeah, that sucks. Why release the iPad if you don't have enough to give out without selling out?

Re: iPad 2 to be announced on 3/2
 

Any word when stores will get more in stock?

Re: iPad 2 to be announced on 3/2
 

AT&T slashes prices on original ipads again, taking another $100 off.

Re: iPad 2 to be announced on 3/2
 

That is a badass price for the 64gb. I have no use for the wifi, but the storage would be nice, even though I don't use the 16gb I have. :D

Re: iPad 2 to be announced on 3/2
 

Slash the price on the non-3G even more and I might bite. I have no use for 3G.

Re: iPad 2 to be announced on 3/2
 

:tpd:

Re: iPad 2 to be announced on 3/2
 

Check with the store by your house. I was amazed that they actually DIDN'T sell out the first day the iPad 1 was released.

I know on base they only received 13 of the iPad 2 and were sold out within 4 minutes of the store opening.

Re: iPad 2 to be announced on 3/2
 

I got it on the 2 and have yet to use it.
I figure I will activate it when I hit the road agai next month.
I figured for $129, I rather have it than not but still wonder if I truly needed it.

Man do I love this toy much more so than the first.

Re: iPad 2 to be announced on 3/2
 

So you're not forced to automatically subscribe to AT&T 3g coverage? Hmm, too bad I'm saving for my vacation.

Re: iPad 2 to be announced on 3/2
 

Nooooo. That's why I was thinking about upgrading mine. I meant to say I have no use for 3G earlier, I screwed up.
$529 is a crazy price for the 64. Big time.

Re: iPad 2 to be announced on 3/2
 

Not sure this is correct. There may be a reason why AT&T has slashed an additional $100 and Apple has not. If you buy from AT&T I believe you will be required to activate.

Re: iPad 2 to be announced on 3/2
 

I am sure there has to be a contract agreement for that low price.

On my 2, since i paid regular price, I buy 30 days at a time, wheneve I want or need it and can do it right from the iPad.

Re: iPad 2 to be announced on 3/2
 

My wife had bought me the first iPad for Valentine's Day.
We were able to price match from Best Buy to $549 from the initial $699 since it was within 45 days of purchasing it (as a premier member). We could have gotten an iPad 2 instead, but they didn't have any in stock.

Re: iPad 2 to be announced on 3/2
 

I checked, and from what I understand, you do have to activate one month of data at $14.99 to get the mega-low price. I also understand there's no commitment, and you can cancel right away.
I wrestled for a couple days about getting the 64gb 3G wifi, then hid the page from myself. I just plain don't need it. Don't need the iPad 2, either.

Re: iPad 2 to be announced on 3/2
 

YES you do.:r

Re: iPad 2 to be announced on 3/2
 

In case anyone wonders whether they need a 16, 32 or 64.....

....I thought originally a 16 would be enough. My first generation iPad was therefore a 16.

My new one is a 64.
At this point, with minimal photos, only three videos and around 1,000 songs, with around 20 music videos, add to that my apps, I am at 14 GB.
If one takes into the account the 2 GB taken up by the system, that means I would be maxed out on a 16.

Glad I got the 64 the second time around.

Re: iPad 2 to be announced on 3/2
 

I still have 3.9GB left on my 16GB and I got it on original release day straight from China. If I got rid of all the Trailer Park Boys episodes that I put on there by mistake, I'd have lots more space.
I use my phone for music, so there's no music on there at all, I don't think. It'd be cool if I used it for pics, but I don't, so all I have is some wallpapers and various crap.
The other day I was testing out the new Time Warner app, and it's the first time I ever had a set of earbuds plugged into it. That took what, a year? :D
Still no sale, Carlos. :r

Re: iPad 2 to be announced on 3/2
 

I tried.:D

Scott, wife almost shot me on Sunday.
Went to pick up an Airport Express at local Apple to extend range for home surveillance system and fell in love with 17" MacBook Pro.
Time is ticking.
