Isn't this the question of the day? Or is it, where can I sell my iPad 2? This is what I expressed to my wife the other day preceding to the recent announcement where Apple flaunted the newest, nameless iPad tablet. While it seems that the physical measurements will remain the same, that seems to be where the similarities end. One of the things that crawls under my skin more than anything else is using antiquated technology. I know, I know, I need to get some real problems in life. I'm not sure specifically why it irritates me so much when I know the old version will work equally well, but I suppose it's the pure joy of having the newest technology in my grasp.

Sorry, I got off track there. We were focusing on where you can purchase an iPad 3 if I remember accurately. Well, unfortunately it is going to be a long wait even though the latest tablet from Apple is set to be released in a few short weeks, there is going to be a extended waiting list until supply can keep up with demand. However, your best option is to keep watching every site that offers them so that you can grab one up as soon as they get back in stock. If you thought to pre-order your iPad 3, then you are one of the lucky ones as even pre-orders are back-ordered right now.

So what are your alternatives since you're not able to purchase this unit yet? Well, the good news is that the iPad 2 is being discounted down to $399.99. If you can somehow overcome the fact that you're getting "old news" then this could be one for you. I had thought of writing this post on my iPad 2 just to amuse myself, but chose to stick with the trusty HP laptop. Yikes! Another alternative is to purchase one of the Apple iPad's competitors. Although the iPad is obviously the front runner in the tablet industry, some other tablets are very, very fine including the Samsung Galaxy, Kindle Fire, and Asus Transformer are some other less costly iPad alternatives. Best Buy has an awesome selection in store that you can interact with and learn all of the functions hands on without having to buy it first.

If you're the type of guy that gets wrapped up in emotion like I am, then try a little tip I use which is to always plan for the worse case scenario. If you don't think you'll be able to get ahold of one until sometime this summer, then it'll be a joyful day when your new iPad presents itself on your doorstep sometime in April or May.

At our website, http://www.wherecan.co, is a total list of online merchants that plan on offering the iPad 3 for sale. You'll have to continue to check each one for their availability as stock levels are sure to deplete very rapidly when new shipments arrive. Good luck on your iPad 3 search!
