New iPads Show Up at Best Buy Ahead of Friday’s Launch

With Apple’s new iPad set to launch on Friday morning at 8 AM, Engadget has received an image from a nameless tipster showing several boxes full of new iPads that have already arrived at Best Buy’s stock room ahead of the big day.

If you somehow haven’t heard, Apple’s new iPad officially goes on sale this Friday. As such, it’s not surprising to find out that at least one US Best Buy location has already received its stock of the Retina display-loaded slates. Thanks to an anonymous tipster, we’ve received photos showing short-stacks of the pads just waiting to be given new homes.

Fortunately it looks like this particular Best Buy has received quite a few new iPads to sell – hopefully this is the case at other Best Buy stores and other third-party retailers so that everyone who wants to grab one of these on Friday will have the opportunity.
