I guess it was meant to be that I did not get the iPad 2. I was undecided which one I should get. Now that I have had time to think, I know which one to get. I wonder how people decided when you have 18 options and you have a few minutes to decide or you get left out in the cold like me.
I bet in a couple of months we will see a lot of iPad 2's on eBay because people bought the wrong one for their style.

You make it sound like there are 18 radically different models. It's very simple:
Wi-fi or 3G?
If Wi-fi, pick storage size and white or black. Done.
If 3G, pick storage size, white or black, and verizon or ATT. Done.
How difficult is this? Also, you had several days to make up your mind before it even went on sale.
Man some people just think without thinking, google how many apple stores are in the US and how many each got....now google how many att, verizon, walmart, target, and Best buy stores (that had ipads) are in the US combined, say they got like idk 20 ipads or maybe even 5, add them up, YOu have got to be ******* crazy to be able to supply that many ****in ipads in the first 5 days with maybe only a few months of production!
Stop complaininginsufficient iPad 2s
I hoped to buy an iPad 2 at the Hillsdale Mall, San Mateo CA, Apple store this morning. I got there at 8:15 this morning and the line was already quite long, by 10:20am they told everyone in the line that the only thing they had left were white 16GB Verizon iPads. Since I want a black 64GB wifi iPad, I left. Oh well, maybe next week. My 25 foot hdmi cable arrived today -- I tried the connection to my flat panel TV a week ago with my iPad 1 and it worked very well for video. But an iPad 2 is needed to use the "mirror" desktop feature that'll let me have complete iPad 2 capability via/on the flat panel TV, so that's my rationale for buying an iPad 2...

I am not complaining. I am just mad that I did not make a decision and place the order online or take the day off buy one in person. I am pretty sure Apple made as much as they possibly can, and in a couple of months you will be able to walk in to a Apple Store and buy any iPad you wish with no problems.
It was originally supposed to arrive on Friday 3/18 but gee wiz bang they got through Alaska and customs quickly. Delivered 2 days ahead of estimate, which pleases me greatly.
iPad #1: Perfect. No flaws so far. No backlight bleeding, dead pixels, yellowing, etc... No problems calling AT&T and getting my grandfathered unlimited 3G plan transferred over, smooth as silk. Damn this thing is fast.
iPad #2: Almost perfect. Minor backlight bleed at the bottom (above the dock connector). Will keep an eye on it to see if it becomes noticeable or bothersome. This one did not have unlimited plan so I just canceled the 3G data plan on the old one (only had 4 days left) and created new data plan on the new iPad. Easy peasy.
The soft smart cover (vinyl or whatever the non-leather product is) fits really well and does a good job, thinking I would benefit from some sort of protection on the back, we'll see how well the anodized aluminum holds up to scratches and what-not.
got my Black 16GB Wifi+3G (verizon) iPad 2 today! Green smart cover came yesterday. iPad received one day before FedEx estimated and 2 days before the earliest date Apple estimated. Woke up to no internet (faulty router) so I couldn't plug into iTunes store for initial setup...that was painful, but all is fixed and I'm lovin' it!
I'm selling mine to gazelle.com, they offered $530 for each of my two 64GB WiFi + 3G iPads. They're in mint condition. Tried listing them locally on Craigslist but no bites at $575 even offering to throw in the iPad Dock, a leatherette case, Zagg screen protector...
No big, not terribly unhappy with $530 from gazelle.com...
(Craigslist buyers in my area are horrible for offering you half what you post something for. Sometimes takes all the restraint I can muster not to tell them to get bent...)
It seems like one extreme or the other. Finally this afternoon, I got confirmation that two I ordered are on the way. Yet this morning I stopped at the Target Store only to be shocked they had three of the exact model I wanted. So I bought those and I'll sell the two being shipped to me, to a reseller who gave me his card while we were in line at Apple on release day. Amazing.
I "strolled" in the Apple store Saturday afternoon just as a fresh shipment was being unloaded and was luckily able to grab one. I do feel bad for those who ordered online, but I don't think Apple is deliberately holding back to drive up demand for media attention. Apple's main concern is getting their product into the hands of their paying customers.

What time should I line up at the Apple Store to even have a chance to get an iPad 2 When they open in the morning? They say they will sell some tomorrow morning.

Maybe they meant arriving into the United States via tracking but not actually delivered?

Yes... I received my Apple package today! My smart-cover... About 2 weeks a head of my iPad 2. Thank goodness I got that so soon!

Maybe there's a finite number of aircraft that can carry cargo from a certain airport, along a certain route, to a certain destination airport.
Perhaps Apple has instructed its case manufacturer's distribution warehouse to take the slow boat, giving priority to the iPad shipments along the primary shipping routes.
I give up. I just need to suck it up and wait. I went to the Apple Store after work to see if I could get any info about future shipments, but they have no idea.
WOW, I just placed my order for the Black iPad 2 32GB 3G AT&T, and I received my email order acknowledgement. It states, my order will ship on the 20th, and I should receive it by the 23rd!
Oh, I forgot to mention it says APRIL!
Maybe I will get before the NBA Playoffs, which starts on April 19th.

AGH! I am going to have the money for one possibly tomorrow, day after at the latest. I'd like the Best Buy points (spent close to a grand there already this year), but would probably like it the fastest. Where is my best bet to order in 2 days?
