just got back from work and now I have "prepared for shipment". Dates haven't changed yet, still 15th/19th.
 
16gb Black Wifi.. No engraving

I got my iPhone to tether off of whenever needed, which would not be often since I don't plan on taking the iPad out of the home... But whenever it does get out then I got the Hotspot.

I also wasn't in a huge rush to get it either... It is for my dad so that's why I didn't go stand in line for it and even though Apple said 3 weeks shipping, it will come in 2 weeks.

Now do I give it to him before Father's Day or now.... lol

Will you be able to keep from giving it earlier? :p I have never been able to bring myself to go stand in line for any product so far. But this is the girl who bought the 3GS weeks before the 4 came out because my BB was acting up so much. Yeah, yeah, judge away :p

16gb Black Wifi... No engraving or gift wrap. Smart Cover came last week
 
Cool ordered the same iPad on the 25th at 12:46AM PDT. I'm waiting for Belkin's Access Folio stand to come out. I ordered a Phantom Skiz for the back and will use a generic netbook pouch until I get everything.

Booooo, Monday will be here sooner than you know it! Just think about how you don't want to go back to work on Monday, and it will feel like it comes up a lot quicker. :p

LOL, I gotta stop reading some of the stuff on the forum - I bet some of the "flaws" people notice are things I wouldn't unless looking for them. And now I will of course be looking for them :p

You reserved an instore one... Online?
 
I managed to reserve a 64gig black 3G for tomorrow morning.

One issue though, my online order...

I had ordered n iPad2 and 3 accessories in the same order.
Ive received the 3 items and have been billed for them, as they were shipped.
The iPad2 is listed " not yet shipped" but when I try to cancel it, it says I can't.
Any advice?

Yeah, in Toronto you have to reserve through the online reservation system after 9pm. You select a store, then an iPad model if it's available. They go REALLY fast though, I was on RIGHT at 9pm, lol. You reserve for next day pick up.

Problem fixed

I showed up at the store, and they had my reserved iPad2
I called the 1-800-MY-APPLE number, and they were able to cancel my online order.
I now have my iPad2, backing up my iPad1 and preparing to transfer to the iPad2.

Got my iPad!!!

Congrats!!
 
Thanks guys. Now I have to find out if there are skins for this thing. Not a big fan of the smart case. Draz, you get yours Monday right?
 
beyondthesmile: gelaskins has a TON of nice ipad2 skins. I suggest you look there. Plus it's a toronto based company so they apparently have cheaper shipping rates when sending out the skins locally. (Still a pity that their eaton centre booth closed :() Also grats on getting your ipad2. It's still going to be a LONG wait for me. *sighs*

Yup mine comes Monday!
And as for a good skin, I would recommend Gelaskins. Toronto based and they are great quality. I have one on my iPhone 4.
 
My iPad has been Prepared for Shipment for 5 days now. Is anyone else seeing this? I know two people at work whose order was prepared for shipment a day later than mine but has already shipped. Apple says there is nothing wrong with the order. Anyone else?

It said "prepared for shipment" on Thursday and finally changed to shipped today (Monday). I ordered on the 25th at 00:40 PDT. It's a 32G wifi black with engraving. Fedex says it will be in Montreal in 2 days. So happy!

You may find it goes from "prepared for shipment" to halfway to your house. My computer did that last year.
