Lots of weekend news on the iPad 2

If you ordered the iPad 2 online when it was first available in the wee hours of Friday last week, you may have learned your unit is shipping.  Apparently some WiFi and Verizon iPad 2 units have started the process.  In a move unusual for Apple, online orders seem to have taken a back seat to in store purchases.

In the past, you had the ability to pre-order products from Apple.  Usually the delivery day coordinated with the in-store on sale date.  Meaning smart online customers received their products the ame date without the hassles of line waiting.  Not so this time around.  In fact, we are informed the earliest online orders will hit will be Wed or Thursday this week.  What’s worse, if you didn’t set your alarm Friday morning to place your order, online orders have been getting pushed back from 2-3 weeks, to 3-4 weeks.

All this extra time waiting means that when you get your iPad 2 you’ll now be able to Jailbreak it according to Engadget.  Yup, that didn’t take long did it.
