They will not take cash as they can not track how many iPads a person purchases with it. Someone could hit 5 Apple Stores and get 10 iPads in 1 day. They could then turn arround and sell them at a minimum of 100% markup to people outside of the U.S. .
This will only last until the iPad is launched in all of the countries where Apple does business.
They will not accept Apple Gift cards for iPads either. You can however use cash for all other purchases except iPhones.
