iPad2 is here: thinner, lighter, and sold out!

The long wait is over. The much-awaited, long anticipated iPad 2 is here.

But the wait isn't over. And don't both stopping by at any of your favorite Apple, Best Buy or Radio Shack stores. iPad2 will be sold out before you get there. That's a promise. And if you find one, it will probably be a 64 GB one, the 16 and 32 GB ones go like hot cakes.

Here's what Apple says about iPad2:

Once you pick up iPad 2, it’ll be hard to put down. That’s the idea behind the all-new design. It’s 33 percent thinner and up to 15 percent lighter, so it feels even more comfortable in your hands.2 And it makes surfing the web, checking email, watching movies, and reading books so natural, you might forget there’s incredible technology under your fingers. You’ll see two cameras on iPad — one on the front and one on the back. They may be tiny, but they’re a big deal.  source: Apple

All that is no good if you need it right now. That ain't happening. On the Apple store, the 1-2 weeks shipping promise is misleading and the free shipping is just to entice you.  The 1-2 week shipping is after the product is available, which might be awhile, the person on the 800 number confirmed. The stories aren't synced. The guy on Apple's Live chat insisted that the product will get to me in 1-2 weeks earlier.
