Apple Online Store Down Ahead of Today's Media Event

The big ipad 2 question:
No - the real question is: Will it blend?
Thunderbolt will soon cater for USB and SD (using adapters/dongles), but offers a lot more speed when used native. Won't take long before Thunderbolt-enabled peripherals will appear - and then you would not want to go back
I didn't know people used/paid for MobileMe? I thought that was one of the reasons why they were making it free, because there wasn't enough support from the community to keep it as a subscription model.
@Mattie Apple will never add HDMI or SD to any device. They want you to spend money for an Apple dongle to do that, like the current model.
If those mockups are accurate, iPad 2 is looking ugly and the refurb store for an iPad 1 will be calling. The rest of the leaked specs are snore-some.
i'm so disappointed they won't be live streaming this. i don't understand why they wouldn't? the last 4 or 5 have been live streamed, and this is a big event. it's been hyped in the media like crazy as far as i can tell.
honestly, this is the event i've been waiting on for soooo long. out of any of the apple devices i've wanted it's been this one more than any.

finally, a reasonable, well thought out, and most likely wish list that I +1 and completely agree with.
is it 10amPST yet?iPad 2 will not be called iPad2.
It will simply be termed: 'iPad'.
That's my only guess for now (& has been been for a while). All the others will be a consequence of this.

In the macbook pro thunderbolt doubles as mini-display port, so you may get your wish. Idk about SD though.
I want too know this to, after that one live stream it's just so boring reading Engadget's live blog. I want to see it as it's happening.
The Apple Store is down; Monday's article said "Apple Cuts Off iPad Supplies to Resellers Ahead of Media Event". That pretty much spells immediate availability to me.

Once you've gone wireless though, any cable based syncing is annoying no matter how quick it is. It's just nuts that you can't sync an iPad or iPhone wirelessly.
Even my 4 year old Nokia syncs wirelessly.
Hmmm so I wonder- if the iPad 2 is super cool, and the price plan is better, can I return my iPad 1 to Verizon and buy the new one? Huh?

Man, thunderbolt would be awesome on this! And not even because of it's own connectivity (although that would be handy when enough TB devices are actually released), but the fact that you can use adapters with it to use USB, firewire, and probably SD, THAT would be very handy indeed... What's always annoyed me the most about the ipad is the limited connectivity (always syncing, without a more "direct" connection). Although I wouldn't mind upgrades to iOS that allow the user to directly access the file system... or at least some of it!
Well, at the very least, in a couple of hours we will all finally know which rumours are true and which ones aren't!
hopefully the new ipad won't suck!

I think they pre-announced it by an hour last time, so I guess we'll know soon for sure. Doesn't seem like it will be one though
It does seem odd that they have decided not to broadcast this live.
Off all the events that you would expect to go live the iPad 2 event would be the one.
Strange Apple...

I was going to say an all too obvious list of the usual boring suspects.
