Looks like there are some at Farmington, CT. I am not driving over 2 hours tonight to pick one up though. It would cost me in gas, what the 64GB version would cost me. I considered it for a second, guess I have to wait.
Got a tip for us?

Any first day orderers who's order has left China? I ordered 2hrs after they went on sale and it's sitting at Chek Lap Kok, Hong Kong. Actually went from Shenzhen, China to Chek Lap Kok, Hong Kong back to Shenzhen, China then back to Chek Lap Kok, Hong Kong. UPS is the shipper.

My first-day cellular order has left China (as of this morning) and is scheduled for delivery on 11/20 (the original "projected" delivery was 11/26 - 12/4). Carrier is FedEx.
After 2 full days of waiting for my online order to update & ship, I've located the same model at the local Apple Store and canceled my order. Not sure what was taking them so long. I just have a hundred things to do during my lunch break so I probably won't get this thing until Saturday

I did the exact same thing. I picked mine up at 8pm though. Took a couple of hours because Apples systems went down today and couldn't pick up when I paid at 6. Now my bank account has been charged twice for a 32gb cellular iPad mini. Hopefully it clear the cancelled one soon.
Cool, my Apple devices are from the UK (got the tax back
Does your friend have a Hong Kong credit card? I use Shop and Ship for ordering photography gear but no Apple stuff as my US Account asks for a valid credit card in the US.
Hongkong apple store doesnt require Hong Kong credit card. Works with any credit card just like UK apple store. I dont know why Facetime isn't working for me in Etisalat but when I use my mobile du a tether to my macbook the facetime works instantly. Else it just shows "CONNECTING..." and then fails.
