Best Buy is probably sitting on a lot of stock that was purchased after 4.3.3 came out. No telling when those will run out. Apple stores probably keep low stock, so they get replenished often & those have newer firmware.
i bought mine a week ago and it came with 4.3.5 so i guess I'll have to wait until iOS 5 releases and hope a new Jail breaking method comes out for it
just a question for people who got their ipad 2 and had 4.3.3 on it. What was the production week on your device? You can check it by typing in your serial here: http://www.chipmunk.nl/klantenservice/applemodel.html . I just got a wifi + 3g ipad for my sister as a gift (sold almost everything i owned to do this) and after checking the serial it say it was on made on the 29th week of production. My search releaved that week 28 was okay. No one has said if week 29 was okay as well. So i was wondering if others can report on this.
Ps: I guess i can open it to make sure and return it, i got it two days ago at futureshop. But i want it to be sealed when i give it to her.
Yes just go to jailbreakme.com on 4.3.3 to JB it.
But keep this in mind
Apple Doesn't sign 4.3.3 anymore so if you didn't had your shsh saved like 3-4 weeks ago you can still JB it but if your iPad crash and you need to restore it will restore to 4.3.5 and loose the JB
Question: Just got a ipad 2 (FW 4.3.3) today but I have not jb it. I will soon but I can't save the shsh anymore ?
.Still have not got the ipad 2 jb yet . But I have 110% the shsh is not saved anymore because apple not sign in the 4.3.3 . So I guess we all have to wait for the next Jailbreak or maybe there a hack to sign in 4.3.3. hahaha.....
By the way this is going to be my first ipad 2 jb what website should I brows to make sure it a jail break ipad ?
apple is now longer signing 4.3.3 so you can't save that SHSH. you asked this before and that question was answered, even acknowledged by yourself in the following post.

again - you can still JB the ipad, but if you ever have to restore the firmware, you won't be able to go back to 4.3.3., thus you lose the ability to JB it again. so be careful what you do with the JB'd ipad because if you ever have to restore, your firmware will be on 4.3.5 since you don't have the 4.3.3 SHSH.
