It was part of the PR article about it Tuesday morning.. prob from apple.com when it all became official.
Yes, the press release on apple.ca:
http://www.apple.com/ca/pr/library/2011/03/22ipad.html
The one at apple.com just said online sales would start at 1am. You have to go to each country's press release to see the associated time zone designated for the release.

Winnipeg, Polo Park. I'll be lining up at the Apple Store. Best of luck to everyone in getting your launch day iPad 2!
im going to be lining up at the future shop in guelph, i hope they have enough in stock for me to get one
I guess I'm lucky I'm a zombie sleeper. I usually sleep around 4 to 4:30am these days so I guess I'll try online on the Apple Store. It's 4am for sure right? Any chance they'll put it up 30 minutes earlier? Just worried about getting screwed, want to be in the first wave

The US store went online only around 5 min. before it was scheduled to.
Ah yeah I figure they never stick by their times or use a clock that's different so I guess it's the refreshing game at 3:50, lol.
hope you're all asleep waiting to go to stores that day please kthx.

I'm in Waterloo at the moment trying to figure out what to do. I'll be up at 4am to check the shipping times and probably place an order regardless, then I'll try the Futureshop at some point during the day. I'll call tomorrow...
A few friends of mine told me that the site went live almost 30 minutes earlier. Maybe it varies.
BesBuy hands out tickets at 10AM, FutureShop doesn't. I think if you can line up early for the tickets, do it, otherwise if you can't get one, head over to FutureShop.
I know - I just don't understand why the Apple store at West Edmonton Mall would request to stay open until midnight on Friday. It seems very odd considering the iPad 2 will likely sell out in a matter of hours.
Again, my only guess is that the Apple store knows its getting a pretty significant shipment.
I see that on Apple.ca you can "add to cart" the Smart Covers...but not the Red leather one
....but if you use the "Search" in the upper right hand corner for "Smart Cover" ...it does appear....was able to place the order....ships in 2-3 weeks

do you guys think it's worth it to get the smart cover vs. looking for a case or maybe just getting a gel skin for protection? your thoughts is appreciated

The smart cover seems really nice, probably best for 'local' or around the house use. being able to prop it up for typing on a table or something looks cool. Some sort of clear skin for the back plus smart cover would be nice. I'd say for a lot of mobile use or travelling around having it in some sort of case (like the original apple one) would be good. Everyone has their own preference though.
I think I'd get a smart cover (seems like almost everyone would, just from the marketing of the damn thing lol).
