I didn't know 3 would unlock their Mifi. That's cool, because I'm already paying for my O2 3G for the iPhone. I won't be needing the 3G for the iPad very often, but I would be able to stick the iPhone simcard in the Mifi for the odd occasion when I do need to use it. I think that's what I'll do.

Not that the 3G model isn't cool. GPS and stuff is always handy.

Doesn't the network check the IMEI number of the connecting phone ? So they'd know it wasn't the iPhone connecting ?

No idea. If so, I guess that ruins peoples idea of cutting the sim card to make it fit the iPad (the extra size is just plastic).
 
Lmao I missed both the ramping up of expectations and the subsequent crushing oh hopes.
 
My mums sisters, aunt's cat's boyfriends goat told me it will be 6pm tonight and he knows everything.... On a more serious note, rumours are just rumours and I'm taking it as hearsay untill it comes out of the mouths of apple!!
 
Reminds me of that Eddie Izzard joke about why the Church of England wou;d have been rubbish at inquisition - cake or death? Um, cake?

"Cake or death?"

"Eh, cake please."

"Very well! Give him cake!"

"Oh, thanks very much. It's very nice."

"You! Cake or death?"

“Uh, cake for me, too, please."

"Very well! Give him cake, too! We're gonna run out of cake at this rate. You! Cake or death?"

"Uh, death, please. No, cake! Cake! Cake, sorry. Sorry..."

;)

I'm afraid I haver nothing iPad related to add, other than to say that I too, say - in a proud and happy voice ... Give me iPad or give me Death !!
(Perhaps we should have t-shirts printed.)
 
What do you think about them announcing the International details during the OS 4.0 event?

It's a US event and given the short notice of invites I doubt many from outside of the US will attend, it's possible but I wouldn't bet on it.

I would genuinely find it rude of Apple if they had the cheek to move onto an entirely different product without even telling us the price of "the most important thing" Steve Jobs "has ever done."
 
It seems that UK Apple Store staff are all being briefed this week.

you are right, the trafford centre and manchester staff were briefed yesterday evening

I was there and I saw a kid with a 3G iPad (it had the black band on top) come out from the back room and put it inside a case after a bit.

according to a staff member he was steve's granddson giving his macbook in for repair

They've updated the Hot News UK page.

iPad now available in US
6 April 2010
The magical and revolutionary iPad is now available to buy in the US, with Wi-fi models on sale now and Wi-Fi + 3G models arriving in late April. In addition, all models of iPad will be available in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, Switzerland and the UK in late April. Read more: apple.com/uk/ipad

Guess that means we're not going to hear any details for a bit then?
 
.. Christ you have got to be kidding me..

And that's putting it politely.

Im gonna go out tonight and have a skin full just so my hangover can occupy my time tomorrow so i cant sit infront of a computer due to the killer headache that is bound to surface!! :)

I have two more days off after today. I better get some news or im gonna go to work and my productivity will hit the floor with the diistractions!!

I also wandered around my local Apple store today just incase anything had changed or i could overhear a conversation or something. Alas nothing! :(
 
all according to the staff member - believe them or not

but I saw the iPad anyway

It's you I'm having problems believing to be honest...

You previously said with authority:
Both models will be available on April 3rd.

You also claim to have won millions on the lottery but you're taking the time to sell your old ipod in order to buy a new iPad.

Apologies for the disrespect but it doesn't add up to me.

somewhat offtopic but selling/giving away the ipod is more appropriate than keeping it and doing nothing with it

money doesn't spoil everyone

also obviously my prediction of both models on april 3rd was my interpretation of some news

there's nothing in it for anybody to lie and say that you saw an iPad at a store or paraphrase what an employee told me
