Reservation / Pre-Order Necessary?

[applefan1997]

Hey, I'm planning to buy one at my local Apple Store on Sat. morning. I didn't reserve or pre-order it. Would I still be able to buy one, assuming supplies are available (or I'm first in line)? Or would they prevent it for those who did reserve?
Thanks!

If supplies are available, why would they not take your money?

There will be iPads in the Apple stores that aren't reserved -- for people to buy off the shelf. The thing no one knows is how many will be available.

The reserved iPads at your local store could ONLY be sold to the one who reserved it. No one knows if they have ANY extra UNreserved iPads. I am betting that there will be a line at the store on Saturday morning just in case.
