Upcoming: iPad 2 Shell

I’m still in the process of looking for iPad 2 shell that would work with Apple’s own Smart Cover. I have purchased a few of them ranging from $7 to $30. Some are good, some are OK and some are below standard.

It will take me another week to go through them and decide which one I would use as well as recommend.

Target in Orange, California has iPad 2 in stock.

Are you still waiting in line to get an iPad 2? If you live around Orange in California, head to Target Store because they have at least one White 64GB Wi-Fi iPad 2.

One Walmart still has an iPad 2.

Walmart in Meridian, Idaho still has one iPad 2 left. It is the 32GB WiFi black model.

I don’t see any iPad 2 line there. Someone can just walk in and get it.

iPad ship time slips to 2-3 weeks.

Within its first hour of online sales, iPad 2 ship time increases to 2-3 weeks.

One could assume that Apple is alreday selling iPad 2 in a very high number, outstripping the available supplies for online sales.

iPad 2 will go on sale at 5:00 PM local time at Apple Store and select retailers such as Best Buy, Target, and Walmart.

iPad 2 ship time slips to 5-7 business days.

iPad 2 seems to be selling really well. Shipping time increases from 3-5 business days to 5-7 business days.

At the time of this posting, 16GB iPad+3G Verizon Black version is the only one ships within 3-5 business days.

iPad 2 Goes On Sale

As promised, Apple is now taking orders for iPad 2 through its online store.

Currently Apple is citing 3 to 5 business day for iPad 2 to ship.

iPad 2 goes on sale at Apple Store and other select retailers such as Best Buy, Walmart and Target starting 5 PM today.

iOS 4.3 on Wednesday?

Reports abuzz that iOS 4.3 was to be released on Wednesday March 9th, 2011. Boy Genius Report hastily reported that iOS 4.3 would see the release today (Tuesday March 8th, 2011); they totally missed the mark.

Why would Apple would release iOS 4.3 earlier than the promised date which is March 11th, 2011.

Apple can avoid server slowdown by releasing iOS 4.3 days before the iPad 2 goes on sale.

Personally I don’t think Apple would release iOS 4.3 on Wednesday.
