iPad 2 will also be sold at:
- Apple Resellers (Find Resellers here >> – not all may not have stock launch day)
- DickSmiths Stores

- Myer Stores
How do i get one launch day?
Going off previous demand in launches like this if you want a iPad 2 launch day i suggest:
- iPad 2 launches at 5pm
- Arriving at your local Apple Retail Store VERY early.
- Expect to wait at the Apple Retail Store for possibly hours.
- Arrive very early at any DickSmiths, JB Hi-Fi Store.
- If you can’t wait i suggest order online at Apple very quickly.
I would also expect:
- Stock to run out at stores by lunch time.
- Apple Retail Stores will have most stock.
- Other stores won’t have many launch day. Last year some only had 10.
Bottom line is: If you don’t arrive/wait early at a store your chances of getting a iPad 2 launch day are slim.
