Only had ours three months. Looks like we're going to become a two iPad household soon...

I am in for the 64GB, but still debating the wifi vs. 3G model.

Got some good news today... the iPad2 my wife is getting is actually 32GB, and we even have the option of upgrading (which we won't do, I don't think). Also, she gets her choice of color.

Good for you.
I wish mine was free.
If you plan on storing lots of stuff on it, you may want to go with the 64.

Yeah, that's a good point. We've found 32 to be plenty on our phones, but I'm pretty sure my wife will use it for videos quite a bit. Oh, and while I will have access to it, it won't be mine by any means. It's hers, or at least 99% hers. She said I could take it on trips, but I probably won't.

Looks like I might have to wait until May to get mine... This will give you guys a chance to check it out for me so I can make sure to get the right version

Blueface · 03-08-2011, 01:20 PM

Just found out, Walmart should have them delivered on Thursday.
Stores open 24 hours a day will have them on sale long before anyone else does.
If they address the truck load promptly, you may even be able to get one at midnight and be the first on your block.
I have two of them near me open 24 hours a day.

Looks like Apple is making everyone hold until 5 pm on Friday to sell the new iPad.

For all those that may prefer a tablet other than iPad, looks like you may be in luck if you just sit tight and wait for the oversupply to hit the market and collect dust.
81 million tablets combined expected in 2011.
Amazing!
