You see. iPad is a game changer. It’s going to sell because its truly an innovative product. Bringing the fantasy 2001 A Space Odyssey today, to the masses at a super affordable price. Hear that Thurotted? Who’s the TOOL now?
Hmmmmm…. methinks the rumours of slow moving iPad sales at Best Buy were a little exagerated!!
Why would anybody go to best buy when they could deal directly with Apple?
I had read that BB was getting 15 units for each of the three models being sold . If that is correct, then BB sold over 30,000 units or about 10% of the iPads sold. That is if Apple sold the 300k that is the number that seems to be going around the internets as I have heard.
To Maxi – there are app 683 Best Buys and app 286 Apple stores so if you want one now, and don’t want to wait to get it shipped, you go to the store with the most outlets and are probably closer to where you live and/or work.
I bought my 16 gig iPad at my local bb on sat morning and was told that they were shipped 30 of each model. You can double those best buy #
Who’s ready for a revolution????

This report is false. I bought two 16g ipads at the best buy store in douglasville GA just TONIGHT. and they had at least 12 more boxes in their overstock cages up high on the walls. The best buy kennesaw Georgia store also has them in stock. I bet it’s in stock at best buys in quite a few places. DON’t BELIEVE THE HYPE.
I went to bb Saturday morning because it was the only place near me to have them on launch day (Charlottesville, VA for those wondering). The store received 15 for the 9am opening, then received an additional PALETTE an hour later.
Methinks not all bb received an equal number. But if they all sold out completely, much more than 30,000 were sold at bb locations.
The bb in my area received FIVE of each model and is currently out of stock.. Which is okay.. cause I have mine..

MM
They’re still in stock in College Station, TX.
MDN word = “you” as in “you lie”
Sold out is good.
Glad I got mine!
The magic continues..
Apple announced that 300k included delivery to channel partners. Sold Out or not it is already counted in 300k.
Typical US “News” media – hear a rummer and report it as fact without checking.
You guys keep thinking that and keep telling yourself that… but the iPad will not sell after 3 months!
Ps.. Best Buy locations only had 15 per store (some stores didn’t even carry the iPad)…
Well, I guess we all know Sammy is on drugs. All the saw things were said about the iPhone…and? It continues to amaze me just how much people don’t get it. It’s like being stuck in the stone-age or better yet, in there home with no link to the outside world. Do you read? Dude…seriously.

“Typical US “News” media – hear a rummer and report it as fact without checking.”
Typical internet poster – does not know how the hell to spell “rumor”.
I work at BB. We had 30 of each model on Sat morning and sold kit within 2.25 hrs. We got another shipment today of 10 of each. All were sold out by the time the doors closed.
Am wondering about the BB that have them in stock. It may be that demand is low or it may be that they are holding them back in advance of BB’s big Sunday ad which is to feature the iPad. If it is the latter reason those stores could face a shit-storm from apple which prohibits holding back stock.
Not sure what the Truth is relation to all BB locations, but mine is sold out and there’s still a TON of demand.
@MaxiPad: the nearest Apple Store is a two hour drive from me. The nearest Best Buy is two minutes.
This is bullshit. I personally walked into a BestBuy today and they had plenty stock of all three models. There was nobody even playing with the display.
How about you post articles on how many of us can’t connect to our routers with the iPad because of a weak antenna. I am standing right next to my router and I keep losing my connection. It’s really starting to piss me off.
Apple actually released instructions telling us iPad owners to make sure our routers were plugged in and turned on.
Are you $ucking kidding me?
@BiteMe
I don’t believe a damned word you’re saying. You come across just like a paid flack who’s job it is to trash a competitor’s product.
… Ballmer is that you?
and the MDN word is “having” as in I’m not having any of your FUD
@bite me
You may want to pick up a router that isn’t from all-a-dollar….or you could just be patient and wait for an update to help your crappy router work. My reception is perfect, the antenna is not the problem, give me a break….or better yet, bite me.
@BiteMe – I help you with the WiFi frustrations. Just send me your iPad and you’ll no longer be pissed about any of it, won’t have to deal with it anymore!

I usually go to an Apple Store or buy from their website. Didn’t pre-order in time, didn’t feel like driving and waiting in the Apple Store line. Best Buy got two shippments on launch day, and I was in and out of there in 5 minutes.
Demand will continue as people see the product in action. When people fly and see someone using it and they’re stuck using a crappy wintel micro clambook. And back to school is going to be a blood bath, especially if text books come to iPad.
