Anyone go today or planning on going sometime this week? I may try mid week but would love a report before I do.

It is snowing heavily in downtown SLC now :(

lol those commenters were not happy with you.

According to Notorious BIG,

"Number four: know you heard this before
Never get high, on your own supply
Number five: never sell no crack (substitute iPad here) where you rest at
I don't care if they want a ounce, tell em bounce"

Glad that the ultracapitalists in Utah are getting punished! woot.

In line. Got here at 8:30 and was getting a ticket then they denied me. They still had about 20 tickets and about 15 people in line.
 
Does anyone know if they had any inventory today (Wednesday?
I'm wondering about tomorrow or Friday. With the International launch looming it seems that supply will be tight.

I was in the middle of the line (got there around 0800) and there were no wifi-only-models left. It sounded like they had a lot of AT&T models, though.
 
So the wifi units sold out first? How many total units? 100 or so?

There were probably 70 or 80 people there. Some bought one, some bought two iPads. I think there were enough for everybody who was there this morning. They handed out tickets and opened the store at 0900 and I was out and happy by 1000.
 
I was in a phone with one of the Specialist in the Apple Store and he said there will be no iPad 2s today coming in. I was just calling them to swap my iPad 2. Genius agreed to swap me with the new iPad 2 after my iPad fails.

Just wanting to make sure whether they really dont have stock or maybe the stock is not yet coming in. I phoned about 10 am this morning. Anyone been there today and can clarify me?

Thanks a lot
 
Things still crazy at the Gateway or can you get one without having to be there at 4am?
 
My friend told me last night that the BYU Bookstore has plenty of iPad 2s. You can just walk in and buy one. (You may want to call ahead to see if that's true though.)

Yesterday (Wednesday) morning I went to the Gateway. (I had an Apple Store gift card so couldn't have used it at the BYU Bookstore had I known about that anyway.) I got there at 7:40 AM. There were about 40 people in line ahead of me, and about 60 people lined up after me. Everyone got iPad 2s.

Apple Store employees stopped by the line every 15 minutes or so and handed out tickets. They got to me about 3 minutes after I arrived. At that time they were out of AT&T 3G 16GBs (both colors) so I got two 32GBs instead.

They are very wary of scalpers. They made sure I had never bought any before from anywhere (by asking me) before they would give me the tickets.

They started letting groups into the store at 9:00. I got in about 9:30 and had my iPad 2s at 9:45.

They wouldn't talk about anything other than iPad 2s until 10:00, so at 10:00 I asked about wireless mice. I didn't realize that the old Mighty Mouse (now Apple Mouse) no longer comes in a wireless version, but only the Magic Mouse does. My old wired Mighty Mouse is getting frayed, so I wanted a new wireless one. Multitouch is fine but the new Magic Mouse doesn't seem to have a way to bring up the dashboard like the old Mighty Mouse does. I'll probably end up getting a Magic Mouse and just retraining myself to use the keyboard key for the dashboard...

Anyway, some other people in line said it was their second time trying. They said Tuesday morning the store only had like 30 iPad 2s. And on Saturday or so they only had 6. So it's still hit and miss.
 
Anyone been to the Apple store lately, are there still lines every morning for the iPad 2?

The University of Utah bookstore had all models in stock at of 1:30.
 
Just curious, I wouldn't think it would be but is the iPad 2 any cheaper at the University of Utah campus store?


No. The same price as anywhere else. They did however have every single model in stock, and no you don't have to be a student.
