If you can’t wait until 8 a.m. to get your hands on the new iPad, Walmart has some good news for you: the retailer says that its stores will open at 12:01 am local time to sell the new iPad Friday morning, March 16.
Walmart is cautioning that it’s “a limited supply” of Apple’s third-generation iPad that will be for sale at each store. It looks like only the 16GB WiFi model (in black or white) will be available, as well as the iPad 2.
Apple stores in nine countries will be selling the new iPad beginning at 8 a.m. local time Friday morning. In the U.S., AT&T, Verizon, Best Buy, Sam’s Club and RadioShack will also be selling the new iPad.
Of course, if you’d rather not jostle with other iPad seekers standing in line, you can always order one online.
