Best Buy Will Also Sell iPads on April 3rd

"Apple on Monday announced that the iPad will go on sale this Saturday, April 3, at all of its 221 U.S. Apple retail locations, as well as "most" Best Buy stores. 'iPad connects users with their apps and content in a far more intimate and fun way than ever before,' Apple CEO Steve Jobs said in a press release. 'We can't wait for users to get their hands and fingers on it this weekend.'"

If you go to an Apple Store, you get some hands on treatment with employees helping you set up your iPad as well as some sessions you can attend that will help you get the most out of your iPad. But if you haven't reserved one for pickup at your nearest Apple Store, then this is a good option. There are 675 or so Best Buy stores that sell Apple products so you have plenty of choices.
