no no, its out on Friday. You need to line up on Monday afternoon - just like people in the states. Remember, you're going up against people from the US, HK, Taiwan, AAANNNDDD then Vancouver. The runners from HK and Taiwan are gonna scab as many as they can first - so you better have a good spot!

I hate to admit it but that's pretty much bang on.

Iceman_2K 03-20-2011 06:57 PM

anyone start lining up yet? I've been playing with my ipad 2 for a week or so....lol

kluk 03-20-2011 07:56 PM

Does anyone know roughly how many ipads will be at places like futureshop/best buy on launch day?

I know apple store has the most but those places are really out of my way...they probably also have like 500+ people waiting there fuuu

TRDood 03-20-2011 08:01 PM

Is the Canadian pricing officially released?

If you already have a data plan with Rogers, Fido or Bell, can you 'share' it with an iPad 3G?

Edit, nevermind. Easiest way is to Tether with an iPhone4...

Iceman_2K 03-20-2011 09:53 PM

no official details on pricing yet......

bakasam 03-20-2011 10:37 PM

Pricing is estimated at 549 for base model and we might limit it to 1 per person depending on the stock we get according to my managers. (best buy)

iPad2 price in Asia has gone back down to avg 50% profit margin these two days, 40% for 64 wifi.

I see stores have been stocking up their boxes up to the ceiling on Saturday, so there's no second round as I can see. It is out of stock on the first day because it has hit 1mil unit, 3x more than Ipad1.

remember, UPS charges like 50 per box + tax + currency exchange + travel expenses. I highly doubt and smell BS on that guy who claimed $570usd per unit of profit. You should feel lucky if you can make $300usd each (unless you've found some rich idiots ipad lovers)

EDIT:

bakasam 03-21-2011 08:44 AM

heh unfortunately i won't be working until the ipad launch day so I will have no idea as well :( But the limit 1 per person isn't 100% yet. they said they still haven't decided

ecsw 03-21-2011 02:05 PM

I just need 1. when on friday? 5pm like US?

They should limit it to 1 per person.

Just picked mine up, ordered on the 11th from apple.com

First impressions:
Camera sucks (in comparison to iPhone 4)
The white makes the screen look smaller but I still like it
A little faster
Thinner
Best thing about the iPad 2 imo, the smart cover lol
Overall, not very impressed, the iPad 1 is adequate.

A pic comparing the thickness and one comparing black to white

Never realized how the white gives the illusion of being smaller!

geeknerd 03-22-2011 10:24 AM

pricing starts at 519$. starts selling 5pm at bb 25th.

bakasam 03-22-2011 11:24 AM

Wow looks like the price gap between US/Canada is getting smaller.

See you guys at the Richmond Best Buy on friday for those who are buying:) I'll be working that day.

^ Go to BestBuy.ca It's on the homepage.

!MiKrofT 03-22-2011 02:30 PM

They should definitely limit it to 1 per person. Otherwise we'll get a ppl that will buy as many as they can and sell it for a profit.

CP.AR 03-22-2011 03:41 PM

I think I'm going to line up for one and then see how much I can get on Craigslist.. if it doesn't sell then i'm gonna keep it :D

depending on how the line up is on Friday/Thursday night though...
