March 11th iPad 2: which store are you gonna go to?

[itcrashed]

Fry's says they are going to carry it...

...just dunno if they will have it at launch.

Any Fry's employees on MR know? I called my local Fry's they don't seem to know anything about it (figures).

Went to BB in MN yesterday. First nobody had a clue about details for the launch. After talking to many people finally the guy looked at their system and found out that they have 65 black iPad 32gb WiFi (that is the one I asked for) on order. He then said that sales will start at 5PM on Friday on first come first serve basis. I asked about lines and he said nobody showed up at the store to buy the Verizon iPhone4 so he doesn’t expect many people for the iPad2 since it is just a simple update from iPad1. Go figure!!!!!

Apple store in Providence. Hoping there will be small lines

I'll Be going to the apple Store in Columbia MD, Bethesda or down in Clarendon VA. Does anyone know if theirs a limit to how many you can buy? I want to get three 16gb wifi.

Typically it's two, but I don't think there is official word yet. Apple like to limit purchases to make it hard on gray market resellers.

Ha. Shockers. I'm surprised they even knew the iPad2 was being launched, but also sad seeing this is BB's home turf and I imagine BB execs must be doing the secret shopper thing there more than other regions.

will probably hit best buy and target this weekend. maybe even wal mart. too bad costco is not carrying it since i have to go there

I'm in the UK but I have a freind picking up one for me in California even although I am not physically there myself tomorrow I'm so excited!

I just hope that he doesn't email me tomorrow and tell me they are sold out before he could get to buy me one.. I also hope best buy or wallmart sell them early so he can ship it to me Tomorrow and I don't have to wait until Saturday!

"65 black iPad 32gb WiFi (that is the one I asked for) on order"

If that is true that a BB will be getting 65 of just one of the SKUs that means well for getting the one you want on Friday.

Anyone else asked a store how many they know they are getting?

going to Nashua NH. No sales tax FTW.

However not sure if I will make it tomorrow. More likely I go a week later after calling them to see if a white 64GB G3 is in stock.

I saw their computer screen when the guy typed the code for the black 32gb WiFi and it showed "65 on order". Not sure if "on order" means they will get all of them on Friday. However, the BB headquarter is here in MN so I would expect them to have a good inventory on their local stores.
