Apple's iPad 2 is now on sale via its Web site, with expected ship dates between three days and three weeks.

Apple is selling white and black iPad 2's in 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB. You can purchase a Wi-Fi version or get Wi-Fi + 3G from AT&T or Verizon.

On the main page listing the iPad 2 options, Apple currently sets the ship date for the tablets between 5 and 7 business days - except for the 16GB black 3G version from Verizon, which has an expected ship date of 3 to 5 business days.

If you click through, however, all the devices except the 16GB Verizon show an expected ship date of 2 to 3 weeks. So depending on how many iPad 2's Apple has on hand, you could have your device by early next week or have to wait until month's end.

Apple offers free shipping and free engraving for the iPad 2.

For those who don't want to wait, the iPad 2 will be on sale in Apple, Verizon, and AT&T stores, as well as Target, Walmart, and Best Buy starting at 5pm local time.

For more details, see PCMag's full review of the iPad 2, the unboxing, and the slideshow below.

PCMag also took a look at the new iPad 2 Smart Cover, GarageBand for iPad, a tablet chip showdown: Apple A5 vs. Nvidia Tegra 2, and a full review of iOS 4.3.

My Experience

I started out covering tech policy in DC for The National Journal, where my beat included state-level tech news and all the congressional hearings and FCC meetings I could handle. I later covered Wall Street trading tech before switching gears to consumer tech. I now lead PCMag's news coverage.

My Areas of Expertise

Getting my start in DC means I still have a soft spot for tech policy; Congressional hearings can sometimes be as entertaining as a Bravo reality show, for better or worse. But PCMag is all about the technology we use every day, as well as keeping an eye out for the trends that will shape the industry in the years ahead (or flop on arrival). I've covered the rise of social media, the iOS vs. Android wars, the cord-cutting revolution that's now left us with hefty streaming bills, and the effort to stuff artificial intelligence into every product you could imagine. This job has taken me to CES in Vegas (one too many times), IFA in Berlin, and MWC in Barcelona. I also drove a Tesla 1,000 miles out west as part of our Best Mobile Networks project. Of late, my focus is on our hard-working team of reporters at PCMag, guiding and editing their robust coverage.
