Hi,

If the ipad3 is available for pre-order, any thoughts as to where would be my best chance of getting one right away? Also, from prior experiences, if pre-order is available, when should I call? Press-release day? I called BB yesterday and they think they'll be pre-ordering, but are unsure when. This will be my first one, so I'm unfamiliar with the process.

Thanks
 
There is no pre-order, at least yet!

Reads some of the posts here and catch up. We will know more next week on the 7th!
 
No store is going to tell you anything about an unannounced product. Even if the companies *do* know something, nobody you're likely to talk to will have yet been told anything. In the unlikely event you speak to someone who does know something, non-disclosures would prevent them from telling you anything. See the pattern here?

What will actually happen this year is anyone's guess. You might start by seeing what happened last year, here's one thread: https://www.macrumors.com/2011/03/10/buying-an-ipad-2-on-launch-day/
