Apple has said today that it will begin selling the iPad 2 online at 4am EST tomorrow morning, give buyers a chance to purchase the tablet before it is available in stores.

All of the company's retail partners, Best Buy, Wal-Mart and Target, will begin selling the tablet at 5pm, as well.

Carriers AT&T and Verizon will do the same.

If only Apple just changed up their OS to be different upon each release, then, maybe I'd consider a IPad/IPad2. Lion, Snow Leopard, Ostrich, Chicken Hawk, Chicken Head are all so similar that it doesn't even feel like a change.

Apple is so used to their brainwashed, simpleton fanboy base being easily amused and easily pleased that they just stick with what they know.

I would NEVER buy an Apple product simply because Apple is "sooooooo played"

Good for you @lissenup2

I, on the other hand WILL be buying one. Not because i'm a fanboy, but because they make good products. Doesn't matter if it's made by Apple, Sony, Samsung. If it's a well made product and I like it, I will buy it. Simple as that.
