"Be the first to get the next iPad. This Friday, March 11, at 5:00pm,"
Apple wrote in a Wednesday e-mail. "The Apple Retail Store is the best
place to experience iPad. Our Specialists will show you around the
features, help you choose the perfect model, and set everything up just
the way you like. So you'll be up and running before you leave the
store."
For iPad enthusiasts who do not live near an Apple Store, Best Buy and
Target will also be selling the tablet starting at 5pm.
"The #iPad2 goes on sale at 5pm local time on 3/11/11 @Target! We'll
pencil-in downloading the Target app at 5:01 pm," Target tweeted this
week.
Best Buy said it will carry black and white Wi-Fi versions as well as
Wi-Fi+3G options for AT&T and Verizon. They will be available in-store
only; Best Buy said on its FAQ page that a pre-order option will not be
available.
The retailer will offer two Geek Squad Black Tie Protection (GSBTP)
plans: standard and accidental damage from handling. Both plans are good
for three years; pricing depends on the plan selected.
The iPad 2 is also eligible for Best Buy's Buy Back Program. Customers
pay $69.99 for a two-year insurance policy of sorts. In that time
period, customers may receive up to 50 percent of the product's original
purchase price paid in the form of a Best Buy gift card, valid for six
months.
If shoppers buy GSBTP and Buy Back at the same time, Best Buy said
customers will save 50 percent on the price of Buy Back.[image:
