The delivery driver and his family have disappeared and no one knows their whereabouts...
When interviewed regarding this incident, Apple officials refused to comment.
:eek:
 
All references to the Apple/Chen/Gizmodo issue, sarcastic or not, are old. That's so two days ago...

... that's my last mention. :)
 
Is it me or is the quantity of these "Oh, the person must have went to a bar and..." jokes getting ridiculously not funny.

Right up there with the sophomoric iPad name jokes.
 
send SWAT stat.



no all seriousness, that UPS delivery center has some big trouble coming from higher-ups.

in this business, clear violation like this is usually not taken lightly.

Its one day early woopy do. Its nothing new its an iPad with a 3G connection. Although the way Apple have been crying over the iPhone 4G leak they will probably be applying for this poor bugger to be dragged through the courts!!!!

On a negative note, us British have to wait another month!!!!! Although i suspect the delay has merely been to Apple ironing out the WiFi problem....... so it could be a plus!
 
Clearly a fake...

...not even my brand new MacBook holds 100% battery life for more than a few seconds unplugged.
 
I call FAKE!!!!

Just look at the blurry photo / rubbish Photoshop'd reflection / your entry here

But the owner was really chuffed getting it early :-D

I agree, if mine came a day early I sure as sh it wouldn't just take a picture, a quick and simple youtube video would suffice..
 
This just in - this was actually stolen from someone at a bar.

Gizmodo will be dismantling it shortly.

It is just YOU. I'm sure the Apple Gestapo is on their way to seize the illegally timed goods!
 
First all 3G iPads seem to being shipped FedEx and not UPS. Second ship dates were probably based on estimated ship time. I used to get stuff from Newegg all the time in 2 days on free 3-day shipping. That's when Newegg used Fedex.

It isn't just you. They are not only not funny, they are stupid, but what you gonna do, juveniles need to have their fun.
 
Why would Apple care?

Why would Apple care if this thing arrives a day early? There is nothing secret about it. I understand the secrecy around undisclosed products, but I cannot imagine why they would be bothered if you get your iPad today or tomorrow.
 
It was..

You know who really got the that iPad 3G?

JASON CHEN!

Apple decided to send it to him early so he doesn't show any Apple device early anymore.
 
I'm looking forward to hearing reports from people using Skype, Vonage, and such on the road, making this like a big iPhone.
 
Finally, now someone will be able to confirm whether the black plastic stripe is a nuclear particle accelerator or not. If not, I'm not buying it.
