Unless your common sense is blinded by Apple fanaticism you'll know that trying to pick up an Apple product on the day of release at an Apple Store is a fools errand.
The only thing you'll get for your troubles is an insincere head shake from a smarmy paid-to-be-polite staffer and the faint sense that you're about to buy your way into a hipster cult. Instead, those in the market for an ego boost and a shiney new iDevice will find they'll have much better luck online.
If you're anything like us, you'll want to minimise the time it takes between deciding you want the new iPad and confirming payment, before the old voice of reason starts whispering lies like "you can't afford it", "do you really need another one? You already have an iPad 2" and "You won't be able to feed your kids for at least a month if you get one."
So, we've thrown together a list of alternative places you can get the new ipad and stuck it below. Click fast, ignore the voices and think of how cool you'll look on the train...
