I waited all day at best buy. They said "yea, were getting a shipment today. " took my name and number down and even gave me a ticket. Never got it. Tried a Walmart and another best buy. They had nothing. With all hope lost I tried a target. They were stocked with 16gb in black. I couldn't even, I was so happy. Today wasn't totally wasted
I went to target first as there is one walking distance. Noting. Like 3 iPad 3s.
Went to Walmart and they were stoked with tons of full size. Then I noticed they had a row of 5 minis. No price, no listing what size. So,done was there before me looking, then finally asked an employee how much the iPad mini cost. The employee asked if it was even out yet. The customer said it was on the shelf right "here" (pointing). Then the employee and a fellow employee argued about how it wasn't out and that since there was no sticker it either wasn't a mini or it wasn't on sale yet...
So they proceeded to grab one, reign it up, 16gb mini black, only for the customer that asked about the price initially to say "never mind".
I jumped in, asked what the return policy was, just to make sure (15 days, even opened) and then I said I would take it.
Then the employee couldn't stop going on about how this size iPad made sense and the full size never did. Blah blah blah.
I plan on returning in 14 days hoping to get my LTE soon. Cannot wait. The mini is awesome. Screen isn't "amazing", but is nt bad at all.
