So, Greenberg caved. Yes, after Larry gave Judie and me a tremendously hard time about the fact that we weren’t going to wait for the 3G version of the iPad to be released … he actually broke down and decided to get one for himself.

So he got in his car, drove over to his local Apple reseller, and bought… not a 16 GB model… not a 32 GB model… no Larry bought a 64 GB WiFi version of the iPad. When Greenberg caves he caves big-time!

That’s actually not the reason for this post, although it did give us a great excuse to give Larry a publicly hard time.

No, the reason for this post is that Larry just called me to tell me that he stopped by the Apple Store to pick up a case or two — yes, let the Larry Greenberg iPad case reviews begin!!!— and he found that there were plenty of iPads in stock.

The Apple store where he lives has all three sizes of the iPad available.

They also have a host of accessories already available. So if you’ve been thinking about getting an iPad, but think that they’re sold out and won’t be shipping (as it indicates on the website) until the 12th — don’t wait, go visit your local Apple store! You’ll probably find the same thing: iPads galore!

    So the iPad wifi pundit gave in! Interesting!

    The way I am looking…the next iPhone and a lot of other phones will have Mifi functionality like the Palm Pre+. Tell me again why a iPad with 3G will be needed or a netbook with 3G for that matter?

    Joel: The main reason’s the screen, in my books. I’ve used an iPod Touch as an ebook reader… and for PDF’s, it’s positively painful. The 9.7″ screen is a godsend for such things, which is probably why they’ve pushed iBooks so hard with the iPad’s release – now they’ve got a proper screen to read text on. Plus the whole ‘browsing the web without having to prop a laptop or netbook on your lap’ bit’s probably a driving force.

    Now, my main reason for waiting is a) it’s not available in Canada for another month, and b) because I’m waiting for multitasking to show up in the iPhone OS.. since it’d be nice to be able to browse the web and flip to the video pane for various things, or to take a call in Skype or some other program while checking things out, or reading a book, or something that people would expect to do with a computer… and who have to jailbreak their iPhones or iPod Touches in order to do so.

    Even Windows Mobile multi-tasked, way back when…

    Personally, I’m waiting for a visit by Ed McMahon, carrying one of his big novelty checks.
