Well, I'm in MD and when I order a lot of times there is an Apple hub in Pennsylvania that supplies my stuff (which is only a few hours away), so that could be why if they are all shipping from there (the Smartcovers- not the iPad 2's)

LOL

Well it does say he's against leaders with delusions of godhood so that would imply he's against right wing leaders like Bush whom the conservative voters seem to believe are part of some divine plan. On the other hand the right wingers, especially the tea baggers, seem to project their own issues onto others. The Obama = messiah talking point for instance is a commentary on their own behavior.
 
After my order processed I check the status of it through the store. I found it ironic that is said my version White Pad would ship on April 1st and I would receive it on April 6th. WTF?! Talk about Buzz Kill! But I will get my Smart Cover a full week and a half before then.

For a while at least. Seems it didn't affect Tokyo too much, and the body count, as of now, is only in the hundreds. Unless that starkly jumps, or the tsunamis affect anything American, this story will die enough for iPad to get its mention on the evening news.

Ummm, have you been watching the news. Media love a HUGE story like the quake/tsunami. iPad will get a mention somewhere today but it will be tiny compared to what the real story is. As it should be!!

My order has been cancelled because apparently I bought more than the limited quantity per customer. Well actually I ordered one iPad. Not particularly amused. :mad:

I wish they would cancel my order and give me my money back. That way I can go to the store and buy one.
 
I didn't get a chance to order an iPad 2 online from Apple.com until this evening. I ordered a 32GB Black Wi-Fi model. I also ordered a dock and a Smart Cover. The Smart Cover will ship in a few days, but the ship date for the iPad2 and dock says April 1st with an estimated arrival of April 6th. Ugh.....

As a peds resident with scary student loans, I wish I could believe I'd earn enough someday to pay someone $300 to avoid standing in line. :p :(

I ordered mine at 4:29am but when I wanted to cancel the engraving Apple says I'd have to cancel the whole order then re-order :eek: .

So I re-entered the engraving but when I check on my order the second line of the engraving doesn't show up. Both lines show up in the order change confirmation email, though.

Should I worry?

You should call them but expect to wait 45 minutes to 1 hour on the phone:eek:

Wow, mine now says shipped! Sweet

I ordered around 4am give or take 5 minutes and my iPad shipped today as well. It is expected to arrive by 3/17 or sooner. Waiting for Fedex site to update.

As a side note, besides the crazy line at my local Apple store in Central NJ pre-launch yesterday which started at 10am I heard and the store didn't open till 5pm, today I happened to stop by to see if there were any this morning. Not at single one. Sold all they had yesterday. Said to call before heading back because they have no idea when they are getting another shipment. Crazy.

Glad I ordered in the privacy of my own bed and rolled over and went to sleep afterwards. My red cover is expected to arrive around the same time. YAY!:D
 
Ironic....

that the iPad2 page at the Apple Online Store says "Fast and free shipping".

3-4 weeks is not fast in my book... I wonder if I should play the waiting game at the local Apple store.

Or you could order one online then and then pop into a store today. If you get one you can always cancel the online order because they only charge you once it's shipped. :)

This is a good idea, never thought about this strategy.
 
Could the 2-3 weeks change?

could apple be giving these later dates like they did with the iphone 4? I remember when i ordered my iphone 4 and 4 am on preorder day, and got it on launch day. my uncle ordered his a week later, and got his within 6 days, although at the time apple's site said it would be 3-4 weeks. I didnt get to order my ipad 2 until 5pm-ish on friday when it was saying 2-3 weeks. is there a good chance i might see it before then?:apple:

I think their point is that Android's tabbed browsing is one-touch rather than the two-touch tabbed browsing of iOS, which is more convenient, but the tabs chew up real estate, which is actually a bit of a problem on the Xoom because it's widescreen format increases the horizontal but reduces the vertical relative to the iPad (in landscape orientation), and the Xoom loses real estate at the bottom for its task bar, so it really is painful to lose the real estate at the top to the tabs.

I fully agree. When using the Xoom I wished the tabs would fade away and come back when I tapped the top of the screen. The whole screen felt very squished.

Interesting how they brand the Verizon one on orders and email but not ATT. I don't know how the carriers could influence Apple into not making them interchangeable. They aren't subsidizing them. If Apple isn't doing it I would guess the engineering hasn't been worked out yet. The huge number of SKUs is very unApple like.

Agreed. I think the GSM version lacks the AT&T name because they are going to sell the same sku device in many countries in a couple of weeks where AT&T is not the carrier. However, the CDMA version is pretty much Verizon-only until Apple decides to ship it in China and a few other select countries with CDMA networks.

By the way.... several local Targets where I lived had 5 to 15 units of the 64GB White Verizon iPad. And Target's "Red Card" linked to your Debit Card gives you 5% off on every purchase you make with it because Target wants to track your purchases. I almost cancelled my order and went and bought the white one, but I decided that I really wanted the black one. My wife also helped convince me when she said that she felt the white one was a bit feminine. You don't want your wife teasing you about your iPad being too feminine. I can wait till Friday the 18th.
