Apple Begins iPad Pre-Orders in U.S.

I don't think the dock connector has digital video output- which means a direct HDMI attachment would require an active converter. So you could "build" one for the cost of the Apple VGA output cable + $120 for the VGA - HDMI converter ;)

That said, since it only supports 1024 x 768 anyway, a "VGA" signal is probably good enough for most people (most HDTVs still have a VGA port).

Yeah, but in the day of HD movies, it would be nice if it supported some type of digital output. It's possible that the hardware just can't support it yet. And I would not be opposed to the mini display port - as long as I could get an hdmi converter.

So this ipad really is just a big ipod. Maybe I'll wait for R2, we are surely to get some more features. Hopefully this is at the top of the list.

I could care less about Adobe Flash. I disable it on my Macs anyway with FlashBlock.

A camera would be nice.

Did someone say "multitasking?"

For what it is, I still like it. I am sure that this is only the beginning. I may still pick up the $499 version and then get the top of the line 2nd revision when they come out.
 
No cleaning cloth?

Um, anyone notice that Apple didn't include a cleaning cloth for this? I'm not a germ-o-phobe or anything, but would have been nice to wipe the screen off occasionally after extended use.
 
64GB 3G pre-ordered. My wife tells me I am also getting a Bluetooth keyboard and a year's 3G service as part of my Best Birthday Present Ever.
 
Dang it. I told my self I wasn't going to order it, then I went numb for a few minutes and now I have a pre order e-mail in my inbox.
 
32gb Wifi+3g ordered to ship to me whenever Steve feels like it! :apple:

Steve....if you're listening....which I know you are....HELP A BROTHER OUT....ship this bad boy ASAP! There will be a little extra something in your stocking this Christmas. :D

The words "in U.S." is key here. Looks like there's a shortage after all, or it'd be available for pre-order here in Euroland as well.

Steve Jobs said the iPad will be available first in the USA when he did the announcement. Internationally it was going to later in the year.
 
Just wanted to chime in.

Reserved for pick-up.
Cheapskate here.
Wifi 16GB

Have this strange feeling we might not make it through the year without buying a second one.

lol not sure if you're being sarcastic or not, but I just went ahead and RSVP'ed for store pickup instead.

I really would prefer to avoid the crowds (despite the fact that I believe them to be clean and relatively well-behaved), but I think my area is going to be a hotspot for iPad deliveries, and I just don't trust Fedex to deliver to my apartment.

My street is one-way, one-lane with no place to double-park, I'm in an interior courtyard, and there's just an empty foyer with lots of doorbells. I've ordered stuff before and I often wind up magically missing the delivery person (even if I'm home--many just give up before even ringing my door buzzer) and picking the package up at a fedex office. At least with in-store pickup, my success or failure is more in my hands.

The final straw is that the fedex saturday delivery didn't include the iPad case I wanted to order with it, meaning I'd have to go to the Apple store anyway :p

Oh well... chilling at home sounded nice.. I guess I can still change my mind later if I want.

You live close to the Republic of Cambridge...take public transportation! Or maybe not, some people on the trains or T are not so clean or well behaved! lol! There are also other Apple Stores in MA too

Is it just me, order has nobody received a pre-order confirmation email yet?

I ordered straight a away and have the web order number printed out, but no email and nothing on the order status page.

I also reserved one for pickup just in case, and I got that email straight away!

Anybody else not get the email?

I RESERVED 3 hours ago and I have NOT received any confirmation yet. I will wait this out for awhile before being concerned. I am sure they have a bazillion orders to manage.

Ordered my 3G 64 GB unit today. I made enough on my March 20 200 call options to pay for it several times over.

They're going to sell like crazy.

Just ordered my 64GB Wi-Fi. I will probably get another one when the 3G service is available. Can't wait!
 
Brewser and others who have ordered recently...

Do you mind posting order numbers X'ing out the last three digits with your order time and time zone (time and time zone very important).

If you don't want to post here, please email to ipadsales10@gmail.com

We're getting data to figure out how many of these are moving. So far, lots and lots.

Thanks

I don't think a microfiber cloth would appreciable reduce the amount of microbes present on the surface.
 
What happened to the SD adaptor? I thought it was coming out at the same time as the iPad, but it isn't available.

Not purchasing right away as I need to see what Apple brings to the Mac Pro update in features and price.
