Sales begin tomorrow morning at 9 and you had better get in line early. Tech analyst Richard Doherty expects Apple stores to sell out by early afternoon. At Best Buy, it might be far earlier because those stores are getting limited supplies. Unlike the frustrating waits during the iPhone launch, sales should move along fairly quickly because there is no AT&T service to activate (only Wi-Fi models are being sold tomorrow). Anyway, they're saying that 200,000 to 300,000 iPads might be sold this weekend.
