So I just called Bolingbrook Illinois bestbuy and the lady on the phone said she got a memo of getting their second shipment in 2 months due to the disaster in Japan. Is this true or is she just tired of all the asking?

Thanks

it's been a week without my iPad 1. This sucks. Do you think she's talking real tho or should I just try apple stores now?

I guess that the lady you talked to probably meant 2 weeks instead of 2 months. Good luck.

Best Buy took too long with my reservation, I got lucky and snagged a wht/64GB/Verizon off B&H but they're sold out at the moment.

Not true. iPads come from China via plane, not boat.

What does that have to do with anything? Parts shortages could very well cause this type of delay.

Not true. iPads come from China via plane, not boat.

While more then likely the fabrication/assembly plants are in China, there are likely other components that go into the iPad 2 which do not originate from China, and could very well come from Japan in which case, yes there could be a delay. So you can't completely say this is not true unless Apple themselves says it is/isnt.
