Like many tech geeks, I plan on getting an iPad 2. It isn’t necessary for me to get one, but the increased speed, slightly reduced size, and smart cover just make it too cool not to get. I really don’t have time to stand in long lines to get one (I did stand in a few hour line for my iPhone 4), so I figured I’d try to get one today.
I called a few local stores and of course, got nothing. When I was talking to my wife and I mentioned that there were 18 combinations, she suggested I just order it online to get what I wanted. That makes a lot of sense and I should have done it yesterday to get in line with the 2-3 week wait. Since I waited a day, I’m now at 3-4 weeks. Wow, that seems like an eternity in tech years!
I’m going to call Wal-Mart on Monday and see if they got anything in, but I’m not holding my breath. I’ve also been told that the Apple Store gets shipments everyday so I might try there later in the week. If I happen to score one early, then I can simply cancel my order. Why didn’t I order first thing Friday morning and then cancel my order if I managed to get one? I did this with the iPhone 4, so what was I thinking? Maybe I was just overly optimistic about getting one.
Yea I am waiting for some money to come in so I am able to get the ipad 2….just watching the backorder time from 2 weeks to 3 and now 4 is terrible. Thats like 1/10 of the time I could have it until the new one comes out
