U.S. Online Sales Of The iPad 2 Begin Tomorrow At 1 AM PST
March 10, 2011
Apple has confirmed that the iPad 2 will go on sale tomorrow in the United States in both retail outlets and online. According to a press release, online sales will be accepted beginning at 1 a.m. PST tomorrow morning.
The iPad 2, which promises to be another hit for the folks in Cupertino, California, will be available in all 236 Apple retail stores, plus AT&T, Best Buy, Target, Verizon Wireless, Walmart, and select Apple Authorized Resellers.
Apple is offering free Personal Setup service at each of its retail stores. It promises to help customers set up email, load new apps and more.
Retail sales begin at 5 p.m. local time. However, you might find an uninformed Target or Walmart employee who will sell you the iDevice earlier than that time. Of course, there are no guarantees.
Apple is not saying how many iPad 2’s will be available at each store on Friday. However, supplies probably won’t match demand. If you want one, get there early.
