Called the South Shore Plaza Apple store late last night and they confirmed they would be opening at 9AM to sell some iPads. We got to the SS Plaza at 6:15am, and at 6:45 were able to enter the mall. We were first in line with 2 others right behind us. At about 7:15 2 more arrive, and then after 7:30 more people started showing up. At 7:45 an apple employee came out and said they had some in stock and would be handing out tickets in order soon. At 8:15 they came out, they only had 16gb wifi white and black, and 32/64 white and black verizon models. They had just about enough for the 20/30 people in line. People continued to arrive up until 9:00 when they opened the door. We were in and out pretty quick.

the employee did say they have gotten small shipments almost every day so far, and will open early each day they do.

if you're still looking, try calling after 8:30 the night before, and plan on getting to the mall around 7am when it opens for walkers. that way you can just hang out in front of the store.

Essentially the same story at Cambridgeside Galleria this morning.
 
I checked out Boylston this morning and they said they received a small amount today, but they had about 35 people lined up at 7:30am. They were gone before the time the store actually opened at 10. The guy said they hadn't received any shipments the passed two days but they don't really know about them until they come.
 
Did anyone find one today?
I'll wait at the South Shore store tomorrow. :)

Burlington Mall. 16/32 wifi black. They seem to have shipments yesterday too albeit all Verizon.

If anyone finds the AT&T in Boston i would like to know...:)

If you live in Ma I would try Burlington mall they seem to have iPads (not many) but some iPad every day this week and the mall is always unlocked by the food court entrance near legal seafood. Try all the doors one is always left unlocked for the cleaners.

It's a 30 minutes drive to Burlington from where I live. The Boylston Apple Store seems like a safer option for me.

Maybe, but don't forget Burlington is the suburbs so less people will be their early in the morning and their no public transport out that area this early so that eliminates everyone without a car. I got my iPad at Burlington :D.
I would skip any place in NH because everyone goes there to avoid tax.
 
any update on this guys are the stock levels in Boston MA i will be flying in to Cambridge foe 5 days for work next week and would like to pick up an ipad 2

I just went to the Cambridgeside galleria this morning at 7 am and they said they didn't have any come in today. I am going to try again tomorrow morning will give an update if I have any luck. Seems like people are still showing up at 6 am or earlier so I think I might not get much sleep tonight.
 
Anyone have any idea of which store has been getting more iPads per day? Boylston or Cambridgeside? If not, which store is bigger?
 
Just got my call from the local Best Buy that my 32G Wifi Black Ipad just came in and was ready to pick up! Isn't it my luck that I just camped out for 8 hours on Friday night to get a 32G Wifi White Ipad on Saturday morning. I really wanted the black one but bought the white one because I thought it would be months before Best Buy could fill my pre-order and the Apple store only had white on Saturday morning. Now I have one of each but I really only wanted the black one. I would offer to help someone out here but I'm not sure if that is against the rules?
 
Check Milo.com, Best Buy is selling them

I was first in line to pre-order a 32 GB AT&T Black iPad last Saturday at the Nashua, NH Best Buy, still have not recieved a call. Over the weekend i found the website Milo.com, searches every best buy in the area for whats in stock. Figured it was just the pre-orders that were in-stock and nothing for the public but i called a few stores anyway. Low and behold the Salem, NH store had them in-stock. I called to make sure and they were there for sure, they even let me put my name down to hold it for 2 hours! Also, check the target stores frequently, there was a target in Haverhill, MA that posted a whole bunch of them at noon and sold out in about 2 hours.

I am definitely interested in the 32GB Wifi White iPad. It's either that or I will be waking up at 6am tomorrow.
 
I'm at the cambridgeside galleria now and there's about 35 people here already. There's about 15 people in front of me so I hope there's more than 30 iPads.

I hope they got a few kore than 30- I must be in line behind you.

Good luck!
 
They had plenty of iPads but unfortunately ran out of the model I wanted- The 64 gig 3G. I was near the end of the line.

I just went by and they still have a dozen or so 16gb Verizons. I didn't ask which color.
