Almost all gone today. Although we have listed only 17 out of the 30 resellers launching iPad today as these were from Twitter/Facebook accounts, we are pretty sure the rest of the stores have ran out of iPads. Stocks are reportedly coming in in two to three weeks time. Do talk to the retailers to see if you can reserve sets from the second wave.
So far here are the stores that were reported in Twitter/Facebook to have sold out of iPads:
- Challenger Tiong Bahru
- Challenger Jurong East
- Challenger Funan Centre
- Challenger VivoCity
- Challenger Tampines 1
- Challenger Parkway Parade
- Best Denki Great World City
- Best Denki Compass Point
- Best Denki Junction 8
- Best Denki VivoCity
- Best Denki City Square
- Best Denki Century Square
- Best Denki Parkway Parade
- Epicentre Marina Bay Sands (unconfirmed but there seems to be stocks there)
- Epicentre Suntec City
- Epicentre Bugis Junction
- EpiCentre Somerset 313
- Sapura Digital @ MDIS
(17 out of 30 “retail stores”:http://www.apple.com/sg/reseller/shop-ipad/list.php sold out)

Seems like there are some shops holding onto some stocks for those who had reservations and also to keep it for next day. The bigger resellers still have queues running – just not sure if there are sufficient sets to go around for everyone – thus we probably won’t hear of them selling out until later.
Do twitter with the hashtag #ipadsg when places have sold out of iPad.
wow! that’s crazy! lucky i got mine last month =D
Epicentre at 313 Orchard also sold out.
iStudio at Orchard Central sold out for 3G models
Let me tell you a little secret: Most of the had no stocks in the first place!
None of the iStudios are sold out? Hopefully there’ll be some left when I’m off from work :)
You mentioned some seem to be holding on to some stock for next day sale. Any hint where they might be? Think there’s any chance to find a 32gb 3G ipad on sale Saturday morning anywhere?
Epicentre@ION was selling the whole day, for sure they had the most stocks but ran out of 3G models early predictably according to the staff when I was queueing. They say dunno when next shipment coming, but can’t blame them, last time I worked IT retail, you don’t know stocks until 2-3 days beforehand only.
I order my iPad from the online store and got it in about 2 weeks. i think you can get it now for 3-5 business days. This should solve the problem of not enough stocks from the apple reseller stores.
