iPad 2 to be announced on 3/2

Blueface · 03-08-2011, 01:20 PM

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.

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.

For hot spot you have to change plan and lose unlimited data.

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!

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.

Blueface · 03-12-2011, 11:03 AM

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.
