Tablets & eReaders

Does anyone know when Best Buy is supposed to get in their next shipment of New iPads?  I remember, that's how I bought the first one...I just found out they got them on a random day, went in at opening and bought one....

Thanks!

I'd also like to know. I did pre-order an iPad at my store, so I assume the first shipment that comes with my requested iPad is mine (I was the first or second in line )

Also, does anyone know why the 32GB iPads [wifi] are so scarce. I haven't seen them and it seems like stores don't get them?

My guess...

• the 32gb is the recommended mininum iPad configuration.  New iPad apps have nearly double in size for the retina display.  The 16gb is a liability over time, especially if you plan to get lots of apps.
• the 32gb is cheaper than the 64gb.

The thing is Apple doesn't allow Apps to be designed for each tablet generation.  As a result, the single latest version of many Apps are designed for the New iPad (3rd gen).

that's true. I assume though that the priority of Apple goes to Apple.com and the Apple Store, but still I would assume BestBuy to get shipments of every model every couple of days just to keep the flow. Wonder when the next iPad shipment will be... hope my pre ordered iPad is on it
