[quote=meadandale][quote=briansd1]where should I look for the iPad 2 that will ship directly to me without sales taxes? [/quote]

I’m sorry…for someone who is such a cheerleader for big government…I find the fact that you are so intent on evading sales taxes…well, ironic.[/quote]

My first post here… and I am French (living in SD) so pardonnez-moi mon anglais…

Why does a simple question about the iPad need to become a political issue?
Brian is just trying to save his friend anywhere between $40 and $70 depending on what version she will end up purchasing. Nothing wrong with that in my opinion…

Anyway I bought my iPad (first generation) at the UCSD bookstore about two weeks after it was officially released:
http://bookstore.ucsd.edu/computers/hardware/apple.htm

They were and still are selling $100 under the retail price. Even with the sales tax, it is still a sweet deal. I am not sure if you have to be a UCSD student to purchase electronics there. I am no longer a student and the guy at the store didn’t asked me any student ID.

You may also consider Wal-Mart though I doubt that the iPad 2 will be available right away.

Good luck!

Yeah, that’s pretty much what I thought too.

What can you say? Lots of douchebags out there.

With the iPad2, yeah, looking forward to the release. We’re using them for work — surprisingly. Useful device. I don’t like the platform though. Apple is kind of a ball-twister.

Two words…

Motorola Xooooooooooooooooooooom….

I love this thing…. It just kicks butt… I mean, maybe not $800 awesome (thank god I didn’t pay for it out of my own personal expenses) but definitely different…..

Now if Sanjay would only price the darn thing appropriately…Like how about a wifi-only version for $399.
Then maybe, just maybe, MMI might give Apple a run for the money….
