I'm pretty sure you can cancel your order anytime until it ships. I checked my order status and there is a link to cancel items. So unless it ships today, I can swing by an Apple store later to see if they have stock. But I sure as heck will not wait on a line. I'll prob try to cancel right before I check out at the store to be sure I'm not double dipped
Got a tip for us?

Nope - I have better things to do with my time.
I ordered online. Yes, sucks that I have to wait a week (but would suck even more to waste time standing in line), but I will keep myself busy playing with the iPad1 - of course the family has to wait a week longer for the iPad1 hand down
I paid someone to stand in line to pick one up so I could have iPad 2 by tonight. Money talks.
Smart. I would do the same if my usual workers were here (they aren't).
They would be more than willing. I'd just tell them there are hot babes in these lines.
They're pretty stupid
now it says two-to three WEEKS ... forget apple, im waiting to buy from a third party like walmart or best buy, just so apple doesnt get all the profits....
Expedited Shipping
I did not receive my confirmation email so I called Apple and the guy changed my shipping to next day expedited because of the email issue. I still have not received a confirmation email, but he said it says processed on his side. I will let you know if I get an email confirming the expedited shipping.

For the record Authorized Resellers such as bestbuy only get around $30 per ipad sold. So you're not going to be doing much...
If you must absolutely must have it today then the Apple stores are going to be your best bet. As for iPad release in other stores, I and a bunch of others apparently thinking the same way, checked Target and Best Buy at opening. They will not be selling the iPad 2 until 5:00 pm. Signs are up in-store and product is nowhere to be seen.
Just woke up at 8est with my son, and figured I'd check, and all models say 2-3 weeks as I thought.
I'm still confident I will have mine in hand today.
I actually don't "need" mine until first week of April as it is a surprise for my wife. Now I just have to lurk over the cart lest it suddenly push out a month for an engraved model. :::fingers crossed:::
yeah the website should have read, "ships march 11, assuming youre up at exactly 4am est or 1 am pst to get it ... otherwise youll have to wait 3 weeks like a fool"
Gotta love my wife. She's going to stand at Best Buy to get a ticket for me and all I have to do is give her my old iPad and buy her two cases for it... so my spot in line is costing me $700. Wow, now that I look at it that way I don't think I'm getting a good deal. But a happy wife is priceless (no nagging!)and now that she'll have one too she can b!tch at me for being on mine all thet time!
Hope this helps, placed my Order around 7:00 this morning Eastern.

last year with the iphone 4 people waited weeks after ordering it online. i went to an Apple Store and bought it during my lunch hour. guy ahead of me was buying in bulk to send to china
they are probably giving priority stock to retail stores so people get a chance to buy accessories and other high margin items as well

Yeah.. I changed my mind about the engraving and had to cancel my order that I placed at 4am.
ORDERED 16b black with leather smartcover!
Waiting for the hoopla to die down... and for potential glitches to be revealed.
