Best Buy Sells iPad – Apple iPad in Best Buy

Will Best Buy sell the iPad this Saturday, when iPad becomes available? Answer is, yes. Here is what is posted on Gearlog, presented in question-and-answer format:

1.) Is there any sort of a preorder program for the iPad? Should interested customers simply line up ahead of time?

There is no preorder program, and we encourage customers to be at the store early, where tickets will be available for reserving purchase. Please check www.bestbuy.com/storelocator to determine your local store’s hours.

2.) iPads will be sold in how many Best Buy stores?

673 Best Buy stores with Apple Shops. (We have a total of 1,069 Best Buy stores in the U.S.)

3.) How many iPads will each store have, on average?

Can’t comment on inventory levels.

4.) Will there be any promotional bundles? Services? (Such as preloading apps?)

We’ll have a service plan available and are looking at other service support options for the future. The “invisishield” will be available for install from Best Buy Mobile, and a line-up of iPad accessories, including products from Apple, Zagg, Targus and Belkin will be ready at launch.

5.) Assuming that Best Buy sells out of its iPad stock on hand, when will stores receive followup restocking shipments?

Can’t comment on future re-stock plans.
