Blueface · 03-10-2011, 11:08 AM

Now this really pisses me off.
Online is not at 12:01 a.m.
It will be at 1 a.m. PST or 4 a.m. for me on EST.
Cavrones!!!

Blueface · 03-11-2011, 03:38 PM

Just got mine!!!

Blueface · 03-11-2011, 04:49 PM

Perhaps because I am a biased Apple Fan Boy but this thing is sweet.

If you like the original iPad, you will love this one.

The speed difference is immediately notable.

The size difference is awesome.

The Smart Cover works very nicely with it.

It is just a sweet device and again, if you liked the first one, this one is a must have for you.

Now I want one. I need some help though. Should I get the 16 or 32MB one?

Also, do you think I will be able to go to Walmart or BestBuy and get one or will they be sold out?

jovenhut · 03-11-2011, 09:20 PM

I save a $150 dollars and got the refurbished 16G IPad 1 for $349. Could not pass it up at that price.

Blueface · 03-12-2011, 11:03 AM

Amazing.
We called the Apple Store before they closed last night and was told they were totally sold out on the AT&T 3G but had plenty of Verizon.
Stock was the same for both.
Interesting.
Appears all the negativity about AT&T v. Verizon is confined to a few and not the masses.
Apparently the masses have read the results that AT&T blows Verizon away on 3G speeds.

elderboy02 · 03-12-2011, 12:57 PM

All the local shops here are sold out. I place my order today with Apple for a Black 32GB wifi. It says it will take 2-3 weeks

To process. Add shipping time after that.

Yeah, that sucks. Why release the iPad if you don't have enough to give out without selling out?

Any word when stores will get more in stock?

AT&T slashes prices on original ipads again, taking another $100 off.

That is a badass price for the 64gb. I have no use for the wifi, but the storage would be nice, even though I don't use the 16gb I have.

Chainsaw13 · 03-18-2011, 12:48 PM

Slash the price on the non-3G even more and I might bite. I have no use for 3G.

Check with the store by your house. I was amazed that they actually DIDN'T sell out the first day the iPad 1 was released.

I know on base they only received 13 of the iPad 2 and were sold out within 4 minutes of the store opening.

I got it on the 2 and have yet to use it.
I figure I will activate it when I hit the road agai next month.
I figured for $129, I rather have it than not but still wonder if I truly needed it.

Man do I love this toy much more so than the first.

So you're not forced to automatically subscribe to AT&T 3g coverage? Hmm, too bad I'm saving for my vacation.

Nooooo. That's why I was thinking about upgrading mine. I meant to say I have no use for 3G earlier, I screwed up.
$529 is a crazy price for the 64. Big time.

Not sure this is correct. There may be a reason why AT&T has slashed an additional $100 and Apple has not. If you buy from AT&T I believe you will be required to activate.
