Now that is actually a legit question, and I cant remember for the life of me what time that went live. Anyone else recall this?

As to the iPad, I don't really know either as I did not feel that preordering was going to be necessary at all...and I was totally right. :cool:

Not only that... but with so many companies with iPhone on release day... I don't think it will be too hard to get our hands on one.

I'm just shaking my head because all this needed was a simple "we don't know." Instead people feel the need to expend extra energy and posts to be ***** hall monitors over it. Move along or better yet, get a life.

Stay tuned.... I'm sure we'll all know soon ;)
 
I am as excited as the next person, but all this fuss over what time exactly the iphone 4 will go on sale is a little over the top. At some point on the 15th the iphone 4 will be available for pre order. Whether you pre order at 6:00am or 6:00pm it's not like you are going to get the phone any sooner. I mean it's not like the people who place their order within the first minute of the pre order are going to get their phone before somebody who ordered two hours later. As long as you get your order in before the cut off, you will get it on the 24th.

Apple will make sure that everybody who pre orders before the cut off gets their phone on the day it goes on sale to the general public. They always do.

I think most people's concern is that (1) they will run out super-fast, or (2) the site will bog down and you won't be able to complete a transaction, until they run out.

This is probably unfounded, because I haven't heard of Apple selling out that fast. But none of us know how many they have and how popular it will be. It is a "game changing phone", you know.

what time did the ipad preorder go up? I would be willing to guess that it will be the same time as that.

iPad's went on sale at 8:30am eastern. Keep in mind they (probably) had way fewer iPads in inventory to sell than iPhone 4's. I wouldn't expect the phone to sell out, at least not from pre-orders anyway.
 
The Apple agent that I just spoke to said that she expects them to be taking orders at 7AM Eastern tomorrow morning, but that she personally will be checking the website from 12:01AM EST just in case!

Can't we all just get along and HELP one another? Who freaking cares if someone searched or not? If you want to help a noob THEN HELP A NOOB. If you don't , just move along and don't reply. Is it really that difficult? Christs sake GROW UP.

I thought apple always ran on pst. That would make it 4am. That doesn't sound right to me.

The rep I spoke to just now said the exact same thing.

I interpret this as, "They have no idea." Undoubtedly they will be told at some point, "You can now take preorders." and the software in their system will be turned on to allow them.

I'll be checking at midnight tonight...

Thanks for the info.

On my way back to LAX in flight from a business trip and will go to the gym tonight, and start checking at midngiht.

This, at the very least, helps me plan!

wrong... if they take preorders at 7am est that means people on the west coast would have to be awake at 4am for a chance to get one.
