Slightly ahead of the announced 1 AM PST launch time, Apple’s iPad 2, which was introduced earlier this month, is now up for sale at the company’s US online store.

Estimated shipping date for iPads are from March 18 to March 25th. That day, the iPad 2 will also be made available in 26 additional countries – Apple says further international availability and pricing will be announced at a later date.

Online orders will ship within 3 to 5 days, and buyers are limited to two units per order.

Later today, at 5 PM local time to be exact, the iPad 2 will go on sale at all 236 Apple retail stores as well as at AT&T, Best Buy, Target, Verizon Wireless, Walmart and select Apple Authorized Resellers.

Other than that, not much to report.

Question is: are you buying? And if so, which model, and which color?

(I did not purchase an iPad 1, but I will be buying a black 64GB iPad 2)
