And it's over!!! Paid $50 premium (so $700 instead of $650) but well worth it!

32GB Black Wifi is the new toy :)

And to those who continue the search...perseverance is your friend!

Congrats, my friend! One last campout for me tonight, as the Target tracker showed availability at Anaheim Hills and Orange for the 64GB AT&T in white. Suffering from plain insanity at this point, I am heading to Orange to camp out.

Peace, out!
 
Target Inventory Tracker

The Target Inventory Tracker paid off for me this morning. I was at the district in Tustin getting my haircut and the Tracker said that a Black 16 wifi was available at the Bristol Santa Ana store. When my haircut was over, the SA store still showed available, but the Irvine North Target also had availability. I do believe the tracker is a live process, because I was in the store 5 minutes later fifth in line, soon followed by a dozen or so people. I know they only got 5 white models, because they were out when it came to me. Don't know how long the rest of their supply lasted.
 
I would be interested in trading my 16 gig white wifi for a 16 gig 3G white or black does not matter. plus difference in cash from my end
 
Winner winner chicken dinner!!!!

I finally scored my 64gb black 3g At&t iPad2 at the Best Buy in Corona.

I was just checking the local store stocks this evening and not expecting any good news. WOW was I suprised...I called and sure enough they had the exact model I wanted. They had a total of 3 when I called...one Att...one wifi and one verizon...not sure of the specs on the others. I drove over to Corona like a bat out of Hell and made it with minutes to spare before the store closed tonight. Thank you to the girl there who held it for me...she was not supposed to but she did it anyways for me.

When I got there the Verizon one sold...but if anyone is interested they still have a wifi model left...i think it is a 16gb....but not sure. Either show up when they open or call in the AM. It was the Best Buy off of the 15 and Cajaco Rd..

Also I noticed on the Besy Buy stock they show some in the Downey and Lakewood Stores...please call before driving all the way over there.

Good luck and thanks again to the person that posted the Best Buy, Target and Walmart stock checking links...they really do work!!!

Peace out....:D
 
Any word on the availability at the Brea Mall? Anyone get one the last couple days? How long are the lines?

I was in the line at brea today. I was about 39th in line, and most ahead of me were asians buying two to resell, and I got a black 32GB Verizon one. The guy two people behind me got the last 32 gig wifi.

I am hoping to find someone with a white 3G that will trade with me.
 
Best buy in Costa Mesa called me to tell me my 16 black wifi ipad is there even though I refunded my deposit a week ago. Weird.
 
I have a white Verizon 32GB that I bought on Friday, although I already bought data on it. Very tempted to consider a black trade. Main question is that I have registered it in my name, so what happens when you trade?

Finally, I scored a white AT&T 64GB iPad 2 after three futile attempts, including one on launch day at Brea. Target Tracker was successful for me. Sunday morning (3/20) at around 2am, I noticed that the closest store to me was showing inventory, in this case, Orange/Tustin. I headed over immediately, with a chair, blanket, and original iPad for entertainment/reading material.

I waited 6 hours, during which time 50 or 60 cars drove right up to the Target, drivers stared (or in some cases, glared) at me, and drove away. When the manager arrived, I struck up a conversation, explaining my reason for camping out and my certainty that they had an iPad waiting. She said that they would have the iPad up front and waiting for me when the store opened at 8am.

At 7:55, this fat f_ck strides up next to me and doesn't say a word. When they open the doors, he shoves me out of the way with his shoulder and starts running towards the electronics section. The manager walks up to me and tells me that my iPad is waiting at the customer service desk. I purchase the iPad, and start walking out to my car. Fat bast_rd walks out of the Target looking seriously miffed. I look over at him and pull the iPad2 out of the bag and give it a triumphal shake.

I wish I could've caught his scowl on the iPad2 rear camera. Priceless!

Did you get my PM?
 
If anyone is still looking, Best Buy in Long Beach got a shipment today. They still have some white 64gb AT&T's left. I just picked up one tonight around 8:00. The guy didn't tell me how many he had left but he said he had a few. They don't have them out on the floor so you have to ask.
 
Hey everyone, thanks to OP and the Target method I finally got a 32gb black wi-fi I have been looking for!

I do have a 16gb black wi-fi that I plan on returning tomorrow or Friday (it is opened and I have used it over the last few days). I'm not looking to make any money so if you are interested maybe we can meet up at the apple store. I can return it, and someone can buy it {not sure what apple's policy on this is though].

PM me if you are interested, only looking to deal with someone that is planning to keep this for themselves, no resellers!

Thanks for the tip, we were able to pick up a black and a white 64gb att from there today. The guy said they still had a ton of black ones left when I was there. (around 10:30 this morning)
 
How is stock at the Apple stores this week? Haven't been since I got my pad and feel out of the loop.
