Ok pretty much all 5 Walmarts in my area will have ipad mini at 8am. If your trying to get it at midnight I say give up.

I was told the sale is blocked by corporate so even if a manager wanted to make an exception the system won't allow him to sell it :(

I went to Walmart earlier and they didn't have any iPad minis. It was a wasted trip. I called first but wanted to see for myself at midnight.

I'm pretty sure they do have them. Expect 15 to 30 per store. However it won't be till 8am. Some employees say they don't have them but its because they don't k know but the managers that come I the morning shift know.

I called a store guy said they don't have them then be said hold ill ask the manager; then came back saying yes but not till 8am

I was told they haven't even received them yet from all of the Walmart stores I called. So we're you told they would be receiving them at 8 am or they already have them, but can't sell till then?

I only went in person to one store. He did have them there. Has 15 white 15 black. Just can't sell till 8am. I'm pretty confident all USA Walmarts will have them just some employees don't know where they are being kept: hidden probably by the manager.

Should I call or stop by around 6-630? It would save me gas and time if I could get it at Walmart. They should know in morning right?

San Jose, Ca
I just walked into the Target at Oakridge Mall in San Jose, Ca. They told me to arrive early because they only received 5 mini iPads. 5!! I thought he was joking. Nope! 5.. No way I'm getting up for a chance on 5 mini's. But there is an Apple store in the same mall.
