Did the haters finally give up here? It's amazing that most of the posts here are of excitement for the upcoming iPad. This is totally a 180 from the day it was announced to the world. What changed? :eek:

Our good fortune. But when you ask a question like that, please knock on wood.

Pretty sure that is to help ATT 3g handle the load as 3g usage drop over 55% from 7pm-5am in the US (SLEEEEP)
The first iPad release won't impact AT&T since it will be the Wi-Fi only model.

Steve's illness damaged the RDF. It still works but takes longer.
 
Free Case or keyboard adapter for the iPad would be nice or maybe $100.00 off an iMac when you buy the iPad to generate sales
 
3g and ATT ipad at 6pm

lol, would help if payed attention lol, well i can still hope, Apple could use secret Apple powers to get approval speed up....lol

Either that or they moved over to the Joo Joo tablet threads (if any exist) lol

I hope they do pre-orders

Who said there would be pre-orders? Apple never does pre-orders. Why would they now?

I don't think that you're correct that they *never* do pre-orders - other posters pointed out that they allowed pre-orders for the 3g and 3gs, but not the original iPod. The "notify-me when this item is available for order" option on the web gives me some hope that they will.

I really hope that they do allow pre-orders as I live a hell of a long way from the US and any Apple store. My plan is to order it as soon as it's possible to and have it delivered to my in-laws and then have them DHL it on to me.
 
I have to say waiting in line for the iPhone with my daughter was a great experience and I will never forget it. BUT, I will not be waiting in line in Ohio in March for the iPad. I will just pre-order.
 
Apple's own site, Apple.com, states that the WiFi version is "shipping" in late March, and that the 3G model is "shipping" in late April.
 
I honestly don't think camping out is going to be necessary. I can't wait to get my iPad but most people I don't think will want/have the means to get one on day 1. Ill get there early enough in the day to make sure I score my 64gb but I don't think I'll have any issue what so ever.

I hope not. You and I go to the same Apple store. So, just in case you're wrong, you should let me cut in line in front of you. ;)
 
I would like the "Special gift" to be no tax on the iPad, but it most likely be an Apple shirt.. lol
 
WOW! There is a line already formed waiting for this. Lots of day to live outdoors like that.

Isn't that blatantly misleading for MR to do, showing an older pic of an iPhone waiting line.

Like how Fox "News" uses older footage for current Tea Party crowd and go: "Oopsie! Wrong videotape in the machine! ;)" :rolleyes:
