\"\"<\/a>Ok. First question. Do I need an iPad 2 when I already have the first iPad? Well, I don\u2019t have a laptop I carry around, so the iPad is my sole tool for doing my job \u2013 in the tech industry. So, I think I can justify it. If not, I\u2019ll say it\u2019s for my 9yr old daughter\u2019s sake. She keeps wanting to borrow mine!<\/p>\n

So, this morning I ordered the iPad 2 from the Apple store online. This is the first day to get your hands on one. So, the stores will be crazy \u2013 especially the Apple store in West Palm Beach. However, upon completing the order, instead of 3-5 days \u2013 it now says I\u2019ll get it between March 22-29. Sigh.<\/p>\n

The quest to find one locally begins!<\/p>\n

I went to our local Wal-mart this morning. They won\u2019t start selling them until 5pm. This is true with the Apple store down south and our local Best Buy. I suppose this is a good thing. Then we can get our work done today and get in line after work at 5pm. But, will I end up with one? And which one?<\/p>\n

The new Apple iPad 2 now comes in 18 flavors. White\/Black, Wi-Fi Only\/3G, 3G Verizon\/3G AT&T. Which ones will actually be in stock?<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll keep you posted of my success or failure. And I\u2019ll try to get some real work done.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
