Italy

I got mine this morning instead of tomorrow.
Ups man told me that they were tons of ipad to be distributed and that ups was in 'tilt' for this...
unbelievable....uh no.... sorry...believable...

UPS tried to deliver mine today, but no one was in. My housemate would've been in if they'd waited an extra 20 minutes too. Bugger!

Still, I was expecting it tomorrow anyway, so will just have to wait as planned...

Same thing happened with mine, except my partner missed the TNT guy by literally 5 mins! like u said, no worries wasn't really expecting until tomorrow anyway.. But I can't help thinking... 5 mins!!! Damn. Lol

My company is buying iPad's for all staff. They've ordered AND paid.

Those of us in the AU office are still waiting

I wish Europe would gets Apple products at the same time as USA. If iPhone are not ready at the same time, I will be pissed and send an angry email message to Steve

Not to worry...

Again, who marks this as negative???

Haters!

You do realise how nationalistic and silly that comment is? Ever hear of Jonathan Ive? So much for American innovation, eh?

Stop being so frigging tribal. We're all humans for frick's sake.

I am no fan of louis comment (although I am fairly certain he was teasing), but Ive did not do much of note before he got here

If it makes you feel better I'm in the USA and I've been waiting 3 weeks for my camera kit and I see some of the European users already got theirs.

Ahhh, it feels so good to be on Macrumors reading threads and catching up with the latest in Apple news....While on my unibody 15" MBP utilizing the wireless hotspot ability of my newly upgraded Nexus One running 2.2 Froyo getting over 2Mbps.

Having a fully functional flash device that allows me to choose how I want to use the internet including flash games and full video is also really nice. Choice is good isn't it guys?

Choice certainly is awesome! I chose to get an iPad and mine arrived yesterday. It's absolutely wonderful. I'm very, very happy with it

(By the way, having seen the video of just how jerky Flash makes the browser and scrolling performance, how are you enjoying Adobe's choice to release an absolutely awful Flash beta?)

Just jumped onto the Apple NZ website and it appears that it won't come to NZ until July oh well, when I graduate at the end of this year I'll celebrate with an iPod Touch as a reward for all the hard work during the year

TNT failed to delivery mine twice yesterday.

When I spoke to them they said they were 'inundated' like it was a surprise. It's out for delivery again today so that's two days sitting around the house waiting for the damn couriers. Of course they can't tell you a time other than 'sometime today', but then they said that twice yesterday.

Seems they can get it from China to Bristol just fine, but the final twelve miles to my place is too difficult. Not impressed.

is there a cooling filter for your camera in that bundle of purchases?

I wish mine came early....*sigh* All mine says "Ships by June 7th"

I am no fan of louis comment (although I am fairly certain he was teasing)

If that's true, then I'm zero for two - someone I thought was being sarcastic, wasn't, and really did make an ignorant comment, and someone I thought wasn't sarcastic might have been?

If so, I stand corrected.

It's Buffy hanging on to Willow when she is flying. taken from the 'season 8' comics Joss started after the end of Buffy on TV.

And yeah, I've already ordered a different case! The Apple one is like some rubber fetishists ultra skin tight pouch!

Speaking of cases or skins!

Check out the Gelaskins for the iPad. They're tight, but they're soooo colorful.
