Buying an iPad 2 was Worse Than Anticipating a Tsunami (Really!)

I’ve stood in line for three of Apple’s major product launches in the past 13 months:

1. April 2010: iPad
2. June 2010: iPhone 4
3. March 2011: iPad 2

The process of buying the iPad 2 was, by far, the worst buying experience (Apple or otherwise) I’ve experienced. The worst part of it is that most, if not all, of the problems associated with this terrible retail experience could have been avoided if Apple had simply provided a way for customers to pre-order an iPad 2 for delivery on its release date (March 11).
