AT&T Stores Receive iPads and Displays Ahead of October 28th Launch

[MacRumors]

Boy Genius Report notes that AT&T retail stores have received their initial shipment of iPads and related display materials, two days before the device is set to go on sale both there and at Verizon retail stores.

We have just been told AT&T stores have started receiving iPad display models, iPads for sale, and iPad display accessories. There won't be a separate display area for the iPads, the tablets will be positioned right next to existing handsets.

Combined, the two wireless giants will offer an additional 4,200 distribution points for the iPad, with AT&T offering only 3G-capable models while Verizon offers only Wi-Fi models to be sold either alone or in bundle with MiFi mobile hotspot devices.

I want to know why Verizon isn't getting all these early? Oh well.

So?


Why would Apple (or any other company) send them stuff THE DAY OF a launch?

Why would an electronics product company differentiate between third-party vendors? Oh wait, they do that all the time.

I don't know, the title just annoys me. It seems like
