For those of you who might know, is the iPad available throughout the USA?
Is it easy to get or is it sort of like when the PS3 came out, very limited quantities, and always sold out?

I've been charged with the responsibility of having to purchase 40 of these units, and here in Canada, they are not even released until sometime at the end of April.

Are you guys able just to walk into your local Apple store and buy them off the shelves without a problem or are you experiencing shortages?

According to Ebay, I see people buying them up and adding a 30-50% mark-up, so this leads me to believe the demand far outweighs supply.

I live very close to the US border so today I plan on calling all the nearby places in Northern NY state to see what availability is like, I just thought since so many people live all over the country, it would help paint a picture of what's going on in your area with regards to supply and availability.

Thanks

you should be able to go into the store here in the USA and pick up one but only the WIFI model. The WIFI & 3G model isn't available until the end of the month here.

 

Thanks.

Our date was set for end of April, but Apple Canada just pushed it back to the end of May. Seems the demand is so high in the USA, they need to deal with you guys first, then they will deal with us.
From a business point of view, cant really blame Apple, we only have 1/10th the population of you guys, so might as well prioritize.

 

I heard on the news yesterday that due to high demand in the US, the Ipad release will be delayed overseas so Apple can have more Ipad inventory for the US market.

America is in (notice present tense) trouble.

 

Ipad?

 

^ exactly

 

I'm sure many have seen this video. But for those who haven't seen it, it's a good laugh. Funny thing, this sketch came out years before the Ipad.
