iPad 2 to be announced on 3/2 - Page 6

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.

Looks like there is validity to this article.

Apple doesn't want people take off from work ? Why limit to after 5pm ?

I think they did the same thing last time around.
They shut down the store at 4 and prepare just for mostly iPad sale and don't disrupt the other aspect of the business......I think.

Early reviews.

The wife just asked last night if she can get an iPad 2. I just read the reviews from Carlos' link, and the wifi vs 3g debate, and I think I will tell her "yes" on a 64MB wifi version.

Every time I thought I made up my mind, I wonder again.

I still think best for me to get the 3G and have it if I want it rather than not if I do.
At the end of the day, $129 for me for the 3G or for the wife to go shopping on clothing.
Either way, it is GONE!!!

MurphysLaw · 03-10-2011, 08:32 AM

The more reviews I read, the more I really want one. My wife has a chance to win one during an incentive contest this month at her job, but she says everyone is trying really hard to win so it's going to come down to luck

So.......
Easy fix.
Buy one.
Hope like heck she wins.
If she does, you will each have one and no fighting over it.

I can't wait to get my hands on it except I know it will be hard to take it away from my grandson at first.

Blueface · 03-10-2011, 10:14 AM

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!

Wish I could, I'm just going to hope like heck she wins, and let her use it whenever she wants
