Is it true that you can upgrade with no cost when the 3g ipad comes out?

A Best Buy salesman also told my mother in law today that if she wanted to use the iPad as an eBook reader she should upgrade to the 32gb model so she could sotre more than a few books.

Haha you have to love Best Buy employees.

no you are wrong

you have 14 days and need to pay a restocking fee.

The restocking fee only applies if you open the item.

Hmm, if that is true then i need to upgrade to the 128GB 3G.

I guess I'm sol. I got a 64 gb, and keep thinking i need the 3G. I never thought I would wanna stream videos on the go, but that is all I would do. Using a tethered droid, I would probably get caught

You should email a detailed message to Steve Jobs addressing the situation..

Really if you did exchange it for the 3G version it's not going to matter to Apple much. There going to make plenty of money off of it either way and the goal is customer satisfaction. Some people just aren't very familiar with retail

Hello? Can people see my posts?

I don't know the precise date the 3g will be in the Apple Store. The Apple site says it'll ship in "late April." It also says the wifi-only model will ship on April 12. 12 + 14 = 26, or approx April 26 for ship dates, which is comfortably late April. The wifi model reached the Apple Store on April 3, which is 9 days earlier than the touted ship date. If the 3g iPad reaches the Apple Store by 9 days earlier than the artificially calculated April 26 - or, April 17 - he should be able to make the exchange as the salesperson described.

"Apple will assess a 10% restocking fee on any opened hardware or accessory."

I just called apple stonestown and they said yes. If i bought it there, i can bring it back when the 3G comes out. All i neednis to get a bigger sz one which is the 32gb and pay the difference. However i can only do that at the same store where i purchased the current iPad that i am using.

For those of you who won't or didn't believe me, you can call them at 415-242-7890.

Sounds very fishy to me.

Im calling this one as B.S. Regardless what the salesperson is telling you. The logic in it doesn't sit right.

I just got my swap to a 3G today and only paid the difference. No restocking fee!!
