iPad 2 at Best Buy? Blink and it’s Gone (PC World)

Of course, Best Buy and Toys R Us iPad promote 2s this week, but do not count on finding a pill from your local department store at the next.

A few phone calls this morning confirmed that many stores have limited quantities available at equipment (if any), and they were sold earlier in the day.

I called the three best buys me the next in the area around Portland, Oregon to see if I could waltz and buy the new Apple Tablet.

I had no luck.

None of the shops had any in stock when I called about 11:30 Pacific time. One said it was conditional and would later supply this week. An employee from another store said some units had to sell the business were gone in an hour after opening.

The local Toys R Us has not received iPad 2s for sale and is unsure when they would get but, according to an employee by the electronics section.

Just for fun, I called a few stores out of state for comparison.

Near dell'iPad at Apple headquarters in Cupertino, Calif., a Best Buy in Mountain View has played an automated message stating that he did not iPad2s and does not accept reservations. In San Jose, has been exhausted and a store in Manhattan has been sold, but now accepting reservations only.

In short, if you do not tear iPad 2 this morning, probably nobody will ever be any time soon.

Best Buy is selling the device in the store and online vendors, including Apple Store online, for example the device will be available within ten days earlier.

If you want to keep an eye on the products in the store, you can now withdraw IPAD 2 at the Apple Store, AT & T, Best Buy, Target, Toys R Us, Walmart and Verizon Wireless.

Good hunting.
