iPads at the Apple Store

There are none! You would think by now they’re readily available at the Apple stores but they aren’t. I pass by daily and they’re always sold out. They have an option to reserve an iPad which I did yesterday but they estimate I can pass by and pick it up in 7 to 10 days! Hopefully that’s just a conservative estimate.

    Why would you want another Ipad ? Don’t you already have one ?

  2. Mark says:

    That’s unbelievable. They claim that the sold over 1 million iPad. Very Impassive with such a new toy. Wait until iPhone 4G hit the stores in June/July (during WWDC June 7) ! It’s gonna be a pandemic and a horrific events to watch ; >

    It’s New York. All the tourists are buying them.

    If your still in the city, you could take a train to the island and go to any mall and they would have it, im pretty sure roosevelt field mall in garden city still has a large stock. its a bit much but if you really wanted it you could do that, might as make a trip to the beach or something.

    Anyhow it’s not worth it ;p

    The shortage is not limited to NYC. I’ve checked with both Apple Stores and Best Buys in my state and they are sold out.

    I will order mine online (7 to 10 business days) and save the trip.

    I was there last week, reserved and got it in 3 days time in NYC 5th Avenue Stores. Even in Chicago it was not available.
    Btw there are plenty of stock in the Mac store in Avenues.

    can someone confirm?

    Marzouq: Don’t say that! I need positive thinking, and optimism. In my mind, I already have one, and its lying in some Apple store-room right now :] lol.

    I went to New Orleans, Las Vegas, and Charlotte and all the stores there were sold out, I decided to order using an apple store bought gift card and the website estimate the shipping to be June 11th.

    Hey

    Im a reader from california, and Just to let you know I’m typing from my new iPad that I just bought. It took me ages to find it. I advise you to get it from best buy, that’s what I did.. Way easier and faster but I recommend u call them before heading over to them
    Hope u find it soon and enjoy, it’s really worth it

    here is one on auction in Kuwait with a bag if you’re interested http://www.mazadq8.com/vb/showthread.php?t=283220

  19. Tubs says:

    Oh hey they sell iPads in all the Best Buys.. they are the only other official dealers!

  20. Mark says:

    There are no iPads at best buy, all sold out. Problem with NY is the tourist, there are too many here and wipe out the stores!
