iPad 2 - Canada Thread

Does the fine print mean that if you are a family member of an employee at the company you are eligible?

Never read the fine print.

So what do we think guys? At what time (timezone) will the Canadian Apple Store (online) open up for iPad 2?

 

[steve31]

What I'm wondering is whether or not we'll be able to go into the Apple Store to get iPad 2 accessories after launch.

Let's say I get my iPad at Best Buy, but they don't have the Smart Cover - do you think I can go to my local Apple Store and tell them I don't want to buy an iPad, but just an accessory?

Maybe someone who was at the US launch would know...

I hope that's not a problem. I plan to go to the apple store tomorrow at 7pm to get a smart cover and dock. I already have a iPad 2. I just hope that I don't have to wait in line for it.

Smart covers $79.00 ... LOL.

Apple charges high prices, yes I know that but everything needs to have a limit.

The cost of manufacturing, leather, magnets, labor and ocean shipping would cost out to under $3.00 per smart cover, with Apple's volume I'd guess their cost at under $2.00 each.

$80 a bit of joke for what it is.

It's not big news though ... Apple rape's it customers with high prices on all accessories. I don't mind paying a premium price for Apple stuff but like I said everything has it's limits.

But of course people are and will continue buying it all ... need to keep consumer debt high so the rest of the rich can rape us too I guess

Easy there, big fella.

Apple shareholder here.

Anyway, if you want to see what price gouging is like, look no further than Canada's very own -- aka Sobeys, Rogers, TTC, etc.
