iPad 2 Released March 11, 2011

At 5:00pm today, the iPad 2 has been released to the public at almost every store I’ve seen.  The unknown cameraman wanted one today, and we figured that the best chance we’d have to get one would be at a store that didn’t overtly flood our e-mail accounts that they would be selling one today, and that was Target.

So, here’s what it was like at my local Target.  There are no Apple Stores in my area and Best Buy’s line was full by the time we got there.  We were able to get an iPad at our local Target just arriving on the scene 15 minutes before 5.

My apologies for not doing an unboxing with this, I really wanted to but it was something that they were not comfortable doing.  I can tell you that it includes pretty much everything an iPhone 4 came with, a USB cable, AC adapter, headphones, a quick setup guide, and Apple stickers.  I did not see a dock included (which is something I think the iPad 1 did have) but since I was not permitted to see the unboxing I don’t know if it was deeper in the packaging.
