So Apple finally released the iPad 2 last Friday both in stores and online. With thousands of people hurrying to buy one for themselves, all the stocks were immediately sold out (not a surprise).
On Apple’s US Online Store, the shipping delay started at just 3 – 5 days, which was quickly updated to 2 – 3 weeks the following day and now — it’s up to 3-4 weeks delay when you order online.
A friend in the US lined up close to 6 hours in one branch of Best Buy (where stocks were also limited). It’s also possible people are hoarding stocks (despite Apple’s policy of only 2 per buyer limit) to sell on eBay or bring home to other countries and sell for double the price. I’m still waiting for mine which will hopefully arrive on the 25th.
Just curious is anybody here also bought or is thinking of getting one (even from non-legit sources). I reckon Greenhills will be swarming with iPad 2’s in a week or two.
im selling my ipad 2, it is mint, no scratches, with case from capdase, rarely used…. 16gig wifi, 20k fixed price with mac warranty. pm me 092763*****, im just located in lasalle taft.
will definitely get an iPad2, but not as soon as possible.
I was about to sell my ipad1 and upgrade to ipad2 and shell out another 25k for ipad2. but upon seeing galaxy tab sale price of 20k, i bought the tab and retain my ipad. Its like having best of both world. I just buy the ipad 2 when it will be official here and maybe the price is down to 19 k like the ipad 1.
i’ll sell my ip4, get a bulok company phone, then buy the ipad2. call & text na lang sa phone.
i was only excited with garage band and when i tried it on my old iPad, i dont think i still need to get the ipad2. lol but ipad2 april in hk/sg? tempting!
Yes. Cash earmarked for my April purchase of iPad2!
hmmmmmmmmmmmm……maybe
nope. not a fan of apple. the first & last apple device that i have is the 3rd ipod nano and thats it. BB & HTC (android) fan here
Looks like I agree with the guys from Anandtech. I don’t think I would fit the iPad into my workflow either: http://www.anandtech.com/show/4225/the-ipad-2-review/19
hmmm… will likely get a galaxy tab. i’m already used to android.

I’m thinking of buying it but I want to wait for it’s price to normalize first. Php36k on infomaxx is too pricey for me.. :D
It is always overpriced at InfoMaxx!
Yes, im planning to buy it next month, i really can’t wait to have it.
I got my iPad2 64GB wifi last Monday. I passed up on iPad 1 when I saw an opportunity to get it last December because i knew the “2” was coming out. Wasn’t impressed with the Android tablets and was already enjoying the Apple ecosystem. (have a MBP and iphone). I’m using it mainly for email, reading books and comics, surfing, watching movies. The battery life is impressive. I’m getting better than 1.5 days on heavy usage.
i want one too..but i have to save money first..i did watch some reviews in the youtube and i think it rocks!!.
still,i will consider the opinion of one of our posters here to wait for ipad 3.. i still have a long way to thrift money for that one if thats the case.lol
