Well didn't have any luck getting an Ipad 2 in NYC. Visited all 4 of the apple stores and none of them had the Wifi model or the AT & T one either. So didn't get myself a shinny new toy, but it's not the end of the world as I already have an Ipad and will not probably wait for the Ipad 3 to come out.
A Purple Boarding Pass and a glass of Champagne thank you very much :-)
