Will the stores actually have stock that is not already reserved?
 
How about the cellular model? Why does the Apple online store say it is available to ship in mid-November?

Because it is. The iPad 4 and mini LTE models aren't available till then. Only wifi models come out today.
 
Went to have a look at the mini at my local Apple store and I was the only person on the normal iPad table, the rest were surrounded around the iPad mini table, so judging from that I would say you can get the iPad 4 very easily.
 
Standing in the Apple Store in Bethesda MD right now. Holding the ticket for the last black 32GB they have. Plenty of black 64's left. All out of the rest...

50/50. Completely depends on the individual store. Just call ahead to see if they have anything in stock for you.
 
They sold out here in nyc but ey get shipments every day and sometimes multiple times in one day.

Hope you're ok after that storm.

I went to the Apple Store around 3pm today, there was a lot of people inside, all cramed around the iPad Mini table. I had to check to be sure the regular iPads were the 4, thinking maybe they didn't have them yet.

But they were. Amazing how the Mini was stealing all the attention.

They were out of white minis (all flavors) but still had all the mini blacks, and all the iPad 4 too.

Note : I'm not in NYC, and I live near LA, where you can find an Apple Store at every corner. Maybe that's why.

It's better to use the target.com locator to see if there is any ipad 4's in stock at your local target store.

$40 gift card instantly at Target. Promo expires tomorrow.

I picked up 3 ipad 4's between 4PM-5PM (2 64GB wifi white, and 1 16GB white wiif). For me, my brother and my brother in law.

I had to drive to 3 different targets cause one didn't have any 64GB ipad 4's left and the one that did refused to sell me 2 64GB even though they had plenty left in stock.

I just checked my local Target's in Central Florida, plenty of stock of iPad 4's even at 9pm.
 
I just came back from my local apple store and they had tons of iPad 4's in stock. You should have no problem. I'm now writing this from my brand new 32 gb iPad 4. :)

Thanks! The iPad mini totally distracted me from the storm. Thats a good thing. Now to rebuild the city.
