OK, I'll admit it. I'm a PC / Android guy. But last month I won a $500 Apple gift card. I debated selling it and getting a new Nexus 7, but while researching at the time, I found out about the new iPads being released. After the announcement a few days ago I decided on an iPad Mini Retina with 32 gb. My gift card will cover everything except the tax and a cover, so good deal for me. Since I've never had to deal with the Apple frenzy when a new device is released I have a question. I've heard and read that the Mini R will be in short supply whenever it releases in November. Today I read that it will be in VERY short supply until next year some time. So my question is, is it better to try to order one online or to get one at an Apple store? I have 3 Apple stores within about 45 minutes of my house, but I don't really want to go there and wait in line, or drive to all of them every day hoping to score. How likely is it that I'll be able to order one online? Suggestions from people who've gone through it are appreciated.
Thanks!
Thanks!
