I was wondering: What days are iPads delivered to the Apple Store or Best Buy stores? I don't have one yet, and I need to find a place to buy one IN STORE before the 24th.
I think they are like the iPhones when the first were launched. Just come in each day. My local had the 32 and 64GB 3G only in today. They said yesterday they had some 16 wifi only. I got mine on launch day. A friend that works at mine said they could put your name on a list, and that way they can "request" that specific model that you would like, it would give them a better chance at getting that one in, versus just getting whatever corp. ships them... Good Luck!
I would put my name down using 2 different email addresses at 2 different stores.
Also, I would call in every morning for your best chance. Call in to best buys throughout the day, etc. I called in to a Futureshop (best buy equivalent) and they had just gotten a shipment in. I cancelled my apple store reservation.
