Geek Posted April 13, 2011 Posted April 13, 2011 <div class="KonaBody"><p><img src="http://osxdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/ipad-2-inventory-scanner-target.jpg" alt="" title="ipad-2-inventory-scanner-target" width="507" height="280" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-14879" /></p> <p>Just about every morning I call several Apple Stores and ask about their current inventory and <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2011/03/11/ipad-2-availability/">availability of iPad 2</a> models. Up until this week, stores generally had nothing in stock by the time they opened, and the store reps continue to tell me they have lines in the mornings. This has eased up slightly for the Verizon iPad 2 models, but the GSM and WiFi versions continue to be extremely difficult to find.</p> <p>If you’re like me and you didn’t bother to order an iPad 2 online (silly, it would have been delivered by now), you’re left <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2011/03/15/check-ipad-2-stock-in-your-area/">checking stock at resellers</a> and generally crossing your fingers as you hope to get lucky in the midst of countless others doing the exact same thing.</p> <p>Enter the iPad 2 Inventory Scanner, which is bound to improve your chances. All you need to do is enter your zip code and the model you are looking for, and the utility will check all nearby Target stores for any inventory of the model you specified. Yes, you read that right, it <em>only checks Target stores inventory</em>, but it is still very useful and one of my friends used this tool to track down an elusive iPad 2 today.</p> <p><a href="http://cristianradu.com/ipad_scanner/">Check out the iPad Scanner at ChristianRadu.com</a></p> <p>The web app is based off the <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2011/04/07/ipad-2-finder-target/">finder links</a> that appeared on MacRumors forums some time ago, but the interface is much more user friendly for quick searches. So if you’re trying to track down an iPad 2, check this out.</p> </div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/KzMC2jl-Gym-kfKhFOQ-Aky9FiM/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/KzMC2jl-Gym-kfKhFOQ-Aky9FiM/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/KzMC2jl-Gym-kfKhFOQ-Aky9FiM/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/KzMC2jl-Gym-kfKhFOQ-Aky9FiM/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=9TL7RbkGaqY:JtgDUkLxvA4:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=9TL7RbkGaqY:JtgDUkLxvA4:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=9TL7RbkGaqY:JtgDUkLxvA4:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=9TL7RbkGaqY:JtgDUkLxvA4:D7DqB2pKExk"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=9TL7RbkGaqY:JtgDUkLxvA4:D7DqB2pKExk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=9TL7RbkGaqY:JtgDUkLxvA4:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=9TL7RbkGaqY:JtgDUkLxvA4:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/osxdaily/~4/9TL7RbkGaqY" height="1" width="1"/> View the full article
