Apple iPads become available on April 3 and the retail giant Best Buy is preparing for the launch.
Sources report that the iPad will initially be carried only at Best Buy locations offering devoted “store-within-a-store” Apple Shop sections. Approximately 675 of the company’s over 1000 U.S. locations offer such dedicated sales areas for Apple products, and other locations and bestbuy.com will not carry the iPad at launch.
Additionally AppleInsider is reporting people who preordered the Apple iPad have holds on their cards.
Finally, DigiTimes is reporting that Apple shifted touch panel suppliers from TPK to Wintek. This goes against earlier reports that Wintek had manufacturing issues.
