Looks like Best Buy will only have the Wi-Fi and the AT&T 3G.
They don't show the Verizon version on their website.
Walmart appears to list both AT&T and Verizon.

While I have no issues with AT&T, I think I may end up with the Verizon version in case I want to sell it in the future as may be more popular with folks with poor AT&T reception.

Here is some great information that helped me land on which 3G carrier I want to go with.
http://www.brandsonly.nl/ipad/2011/0...g-and-options/

Also, for Verizon fans that think AT&T is awful, interesting results here.
http://www.pcworld.com/article/18959...ance_test.html

Hope this helps any on trying to figure out which way to go.
Also addresses Tethering.

Quite an eye-opener Carlos -- thanks for the info.

I did not see anything in the article about Verizon's issues with multi-tasking. I know that current Verizon iPhone users cannot use the Internet and make a call at the same time. I wonder how this affects the iPad...

In any case, AT&T for me...

Michael, I guess with the iPad, that concern would only arise if using Face Time and then trying to multi task.

Not only set but also awaiting Walmart's information.
If they sell it at 12:01 a.m., there is one right down the road from me open 24 hours a day.

64GB, Black, with AT&T 3G for me.

I am in for the 64GB, but still debating the wifi vs. 3G model.

Got some good news today... the iPad2 my wife is getting is actually 32GB, and we even have the option of upgrading (which we won't do, I don't think). Also, she gets her choice of color.

I thought Face Time was a WiFi-only app?

Good for you.
I wish mine was free.
If you plan on storing lots of stuff on it, you may want to go with the 64.

Best Buy will have them for sale when the store opens on Friday.

Apple will have them for sale at the store after 5 p.m.

Walmart says they won't have them Friday.

FYI,
Best Buy is the best deal.
They qualify for 18 months same as cash, no interest financing.

Yeah, that's a good point. We've found 32 to be plenty on our phones, but I'm pretty sure my wife will use it for videos quite a bit. Oh, and while I will have access to it, it won't be mine by any means. It's hers, or at least 99% hers. She said I could take it on trips, but I probably won't.

Looks like demand is expected to be quite high for this new one.
However, they are saying there should be plenty to go around as this time, they will be offered by AT&T, Verizon, Best Buy, Target and Walmart.
Looks like all may have them available upon the store opening on Friday, well before the Apple store starts selling them at 5.
I am rethinking the online ordering and considering hitting Best Buy when they open on Friday.
If I can't get one, will order online after that and then take my chance at the Apple store.
Maybe I am being foolish but I am hoping the one I want is the one most folks don't.

Target will sell on Sunday when store opens at 10 a.m.

Best Buy on Friday when it opens at 10 a.m.

AT&T on Friday when it opens at 9 a.m.

Apple on Friday at 5 p.m.

Three of the four are across the street from each other and a couple of miles away for me.
Apple is 3-4 miles away.

Lots of options for Friday.
Heck with online ordering.

Looks like I might have to wait until May to get mine... This will give you guys a chance to check it out for me so I can make sure to get the right version
