Perhaps this has been covered before but...

Has anyone been able to acquire an AT&T iPad 2 through retail channels since launch weekend?

It seems the only models coming into stock anywhere are Verizon models.
 
I was able to get the only AT&T version that came in to my Apple Store today! Of course I had to stand in the freezing cold (20 degrees) for 6 hours here in New England to get it! But I am very happy right now!!!

On Sunday?
 
Yes! Today...Sunday morning. Our store had about 40 ipad 2's all in all and I was second in line.

Contests. But jeez, one AT&T out of 40. Rough.
 
Totally....I had about 50 people trying to buy my claim ticket from me for the next 2 hours before the store actually would sell us the ipads! I wasn't about to give it up though after freezing my butt off in the 20 degree temps!

Picked up a White 64GB AT&T from Target at 8am this morning. AT&T models are definitely in VERY short supply, but it is possible to pick one up.
 
I bought several 64GB GSM models at the end of the week. I have a big family and trying to share just two of the originals just didn't cut it.
