New Retina iPad Mini In-Store Availability Tracker Gaining Attention

Just picked up a 64GB Space Gray + ATT at 14th street NYC which I managed to snag last night. Truck outside was unloading large box of merchandise. Assume it was more iPads...

I guarantee you've never seriously watched fox news if this is what you think. It is on the other hand what the liberal elite would like you to think, so good job on being a sheep. :)
 
Publicity stunt. Just trying to get their name into the public consciousness.
This isn't about helping people find stock.

A site which empowers the people allowing them to make a more well-informed decision on where to go knowing what is available? A site which informs potential customers of their choices of iPad and saves them from futilely travelling from store to store in search of products which are no longer there? A site which treats users as human instead of cattle?

Apple won't like that.

You can enter the model, color and carrier you want on Apple.com and it will tell you immediately about the availability at the 5 closest stores. And then you can order/reserve. You don't need a website that quotes in minutes since checked and that is only doing this as a publicity stunt to raise traffic to a site that has nothing to do with technology. Wake up and smell it.
 
I'd love to see this set up on a server in one of those countries where apple can do absolutely nothing.
 
I wonder if Apple's issue with Apple-Tracker had more to do with the name than its function. They protect their brand and are very sensitive about anything that could be confused with official Apple marketing.

So seaturtle might be OK afterall.

(There are other popular Apple scaping sites that have been operating for years seemingly without complaints from Apple)

Thanks MacRumors!

The site will be shut down by tomorrow.

If nobody told anybody about this site, then it would be of no use, right?

Macrumors is just letting folks know so they can use it.

Ironic in the end of course.

I knew about it....so did others. The guy who made it posted it on here first. What am I saying....if I wasn't on here 24/7 I wouldn't have known either. I realize not everyone has the time at work like I do to go over all the forums. So I stand corrected. It's a gift and a cures I suppose. Lol

That was funny
 
There is also an open source install of Apple Tracker on github here. It's a pretty simple install. (Someone has it running here as well.
