Apple Offers Video Guided Tours of iPad 2

With iPad 2 fever running high, Apple keeps the temperature rising with these 14 just-released “Guided Tour” videos showing off that shiny floozy it’ll be selling on Friday at five. See all 14 videos here.

These are some gorgeous videos. I especially like the way each logo is pinned against a moving background at the beginning of each segment. The iPad 2, a full one-third thinner than its predecessor, has never looked so good as it does in these beautifully produced vignettes.

However, if you want to get an unbiased preview of the iPad 2, you’ll have to peruse our reviews this weekend. Or, just wait until Friday, March 11, when you’ll be able to hold one of these babies in your own hands, and decide for yourself if it’s for you.

Here’s a little tidbit of good news for you if you’re hell-bent on picking up an iPad 2: Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster says the lines to buy one will be a whole lot shorter than they were last year.

That’s because last year, Munster says, Apple had 1200 retail locations distributing the iPad, while this year there will be more than 10,000 stores selling the iPad 2, including Best Buy, Target, Verizon, Walmart, AT&T and the Apple Stores. However, Munster says the Apple Stores might have long lines, since they’re starting sales at 5 p.m. on Friday.

Unfortunately, there was one way to buy the iPad last year that doesn’t exist this year — you could order one online and receive it via FedEx on the same day it was offered in stores. No such luck this year, where you can order one on Friday, or go to a store and buy one.
