Best Buy, Toys “R” Us Stock Up On iPad 2s Beginning Today
April 17, 2011
For those still looking for an iPad 2, today could be your day. As previously reported, Best Buy is promoting the second-generation iDevice today in its nationwide flier, meaning a limited number of units should be available at each of its stores. In addition, for the first time, Toys “R” Us stores begin iPad 2s sales.
Best Buy’s promotion, which begins today, appears to be the reason the Minnesota-based retailer was previously holding back iPad 2 sales. According to an internal memo, which we discussed yesterday, there will be limited quantities of the second-generation iDevice at each of its North American stores.
Toys “R” Us, meanwhile, is selling the 16GB and 32 GB Wi-Fi iPad 2 models. According to the flyer, the 16 GB unit is available in black or white, while the 32 GB variant will come in black only. They will also sell a selection of Smart Covers.
Naturally, it is extremely difficult to determine how many units will be available at each location. Your best bet is to visit stores early and see what you find.
Happy iPad 2 hunting! If any of our readers visit a Best Buy or Toy's "R" Us store today for an iPad 2, let us know. Please use the comments below.
