I would assume business account holders have different rules to consumers. I think the main blame are the touts who buy loads of "whatever" on launch day, and then hawk them on ebay at grossly inflated prices. Granted if people are stupid enough to pay it then so be it, but it's pretty crappy behaviour.
Oddly, I could go into either PC World or my local Apple store and pick up any 3G iPad from stock at the moment. (UK).
