Expected iPad 2 supplies at retailers?

I called around and not one of the big three expected to have the iPad 2 on launch day can confirm if they will have iPads available on 3/11 @ 5:00 pm.

So, has anyone had any luck confirming that Bestbuy/Walmart/Sam's will have launch iPad 2's? I would love to avoid the Apple store line, but will sit in it if necessary.

I'm not sure about Walmart and Sams, but I did talk to my local Best Buy and they told me that they WILL have them on launch day March 11. She looked at her Manifest and told me that they would have black and white iPad2's on Friday. She said they were getting another truck on Thursday (the day before) with more iPads on them. I know every store is different but I'd thought I tell you about my Best Buy here in Cincinnati.

Wait, you called a Cincinnati Best Buy? Which one? I called the one in Tri-county and they said they were expecting to have them, but couldn't confirm. I'll have to call back again today to see if their story changed.

thanks for the heads up.
