I get no rush. I wanted to order online but waiting 2-3 weeks isn't going to work for my needs. So I'll be off to buy one in person, which I dread doing. Might work out alright though, there is an apple store on our way down to the meet and I'll swing by. No line = buy, line = no buy.

Probably when the next sea shipment from china is due in. And may in some way be connected to recent earthquakes.

I'm going to the apple store at 2:30 since I made an apple care appointment for my iPhone then wait in line for the iPad 2. Feel free to join me my girl and James.

I got my iPad2 woot woot! The line at the Palo Alto Apple store was ridiculous! People were wrapped all the way around the block & the first person in line got there at 5:30pm yesterday! I didnt need to stand in line due to some arrangements; by the time I got out there it was already 6pm & there were still people all the way back. The store environment was very positive & there were a lot of Apple workers to help move things smoothly!

So now...what cases are people checking out? Wanted to see if there is something out there that can integrate with the OEM cover while protecting the rear of the device.

Check out THESE covers/cases

And for those of you that would like to venture in taking apart your new precious ipad... Check it out

got the iPad2 by 7pm after waiting in line for about 4 hours. I had nothing else better to do so I stayed in line and waited. Thanks to James for keeping me company.

She got there around 6:10pm. So she didn't have to wait that long.

You guys might like to see in side - http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/iPad-...eardown/5071/1

Thought this was interesting "The A5 processor has manufacture dates of late January and mid-February 2011. Production was clearly ramping up through the last minute"
