Apart from placing your order online and going through the hassle of waiting till it arrives, you can get your hands on the iPad at the day of launch which is April 3rd, from a Best Buy outlet near you.
The rumors about Best Buy holding the iPad are finally true and have been confirmed by Apple itself, but only critical outlets will hold the iPad on launch. So hunt down a major outlet near you if you don’t want to miss the chance of getting it from a Best Buy store in your neighborhood. We best recommend to be on time, check the local timings just to be on the safe side.
