iPAd 3G Reserved at Retail Store-Delivery Time

I reserved an iPAd wi-fi plus 3G with 16GB memory at my local store on May 5. When do you think I can expect delivery? No help from Apple. Thanks.

Nobody that knows is telling.

There are at least three Apple stores in my city. So far, once the original shipment sold out, there has not been a single iPad shipped to any of those stores.

It appears they are giving priority to online orders.

I have read that a few stores here and there in the country have gotten a shipment or two in. But no rhyme or reason anyone can figure.

I reserved my iPad 64GB 3G on May 3 and received the confirmation email. Still waiting.

An employee at the Apple Store (Holyoke, Mass.) told me that only 4 were handed out yesterday.

I'm thinkin' that ordering on online would be quicker, at least in my case.

Likely in my case, too.

I went to my local Apple store an hour ago. I put my name in a week ago (May 2) for a 64GB 3G iPad. They told me there are 46 names ahead of me. Asked about the Apple case for the iPad: They don't expect any of those for a month.

All this leads me to seriously question whether I need an iPad all that bad: iPhone plus MacBook meet all my needs. Maybe I'll blow it off and wait for next year's new and improved model.
