European apple stores down, uk, spain, norway etc

Anyone want to guess why?

This'll be interesting... If it is indeed iPad 2, let's time how long it takes to go to 3-4 weeks!

 

[MRU]

I suspect it's just routine update.

 

[smiddlehurst]

Yeah, 23:00 on a Saturday sounds like routine maintenance to me as well.

 

[JWalker1995]

I've read on many sites that from midnight there's gonna be pre-orders in countries set for march 25th launch

 

[v66jack]

Pre-orders would be great but I think probably just maintenance. More likely they are testing pre-order stuff. I doubt they update it at 23:00 on a Saturday to launch.

Then again SXSW is on today, so tech savvy folks will be online seeing whats happening so maybe.

 

[v66jack]

The store is back up, no big changes to report. No iPads

Only change I see is that now there is a iPad 2 banner across the page where iPad first gen is on for sale....or was that there before?
