For those of you who are still trying to get your hands on an iPad 2, your best bet in the near term is probably going to be this Sunday at a Best Buy. According to a leaked memo obtained by Engadget, most Best Buy stores will have at least three of each iPad model (which isn't a lot given the demand).
There are technically 18 models of iPads (six Wi-Fi and twelve 3G models), but it's unsure if the Best Buy memo is saying each store will have three of each of the 64 GB 3G AT&T and Verizon models, for example, or just a total of three 64 GB 3G models.
Last week rumors were flying that Apple had ordered Best Buy to pull all iPads from the shelves because the company was actually stockpiling them for this event. While the stockpiling was true, the order from Apple turned out to be false. The memo also states that if you have a reserve order fulfillment ticket, you'll be given priority over the normal Joes standing in line. But if you're sans ticket and want and iPad 2 badly, get to your local Best Buy to beat the lines. Best Buy stores typically open at 11AM on Sundays. Good luck!
