Cant only have cash and it costs me 50 bucks to put it on my account since i have a foreign Visa
Good luck to you then. Maybe you can go to the Apple store now, purchase an apple gift card...then order it online with that gift card?

Hello is it pointless to go to the apple store around 5 pm to buy an ipad on the release? I was gonna go to Fashionfair in Fresno California. Will it mostlikely be sold out? black 32g wifi
Depends. At 5, plan to wait a while. Apple stores usually have plenty of stock, but there is no way to tell for sure.
No one really knows until Apple post the launch time.
Is it a 9:00am launch, or will it be the 5:00pm launch like last year?!

Mine just left Anchorage Alaska at 3pm today. Why stand in line with they will deliver it to your door? Of course, if you haven't preordered it's your only way to get one on the 16th.
Apple says that they will show each customer how to get their ipad up and running. Imagine all the time you will spend waiting for that after standing in line all day. No thanks.
Two months after launch, when demand dies down, this is certainly true. However, from two previous years experience suffering through an iPad launch in retail store lines, I can tell you that Apple stores almost never have enough stock for launch day. At least not enough for everyone to get the model they want.
For the iPad 2 launch, I wanted a 32 or 64GB AT&T model. I was number 35 in line at my local Apple Store. The first 20 in line were scalpers. They all ordered as many high end AT&T iPads as they could for resale on the international market. When I was finally able to order, ALL of the AT&T models 16,32,64 in both colors were gone. As were the 64GB Verizon models and the basic 16 & 64GB WiFi. Scalpers claimed over half the stock at that Apple Store after the first 30 minutes.
Unable to get my desired model, I walked away with nothing and began a two week odyssey to find a 64GB White AT&T iPad 2 which involved a backend stocking script on Target's website. Ultimately snagged the one I wanted, but I vowed not to be a part of launch day craziness again.
Thus, the moment it was reported that New iPad pre-orders would be accepted for delivery on launch day, I started refreshing the Apple Store site until I was able to make the purchase.
Good luck getting one on launch day. Hopefully with the wider international rollout, the demand from scalpers will be lessened.
