Besides Apple, RadioShack is now open to sales of the new iPad.
Today the company said it’s taking pre-orders for the new tablet, which was announced at an event yesterday and proceeded to go up for pre-sale only on Apple’s Web site.
There is a catch for those who choose to pre-order with RadioShack though, buyers need to purchase a $50 RadioShack gift card, and make the pre-order from one of RadioShack’s retail stores.
RadioShack can only hope that people who physically visit one of its stores to buy an iPad will also feel a strong desire to buy alkaline batteries and RJ-11 phone wire.
