@FeaRThiS : Thanks for that. I was sure that that was the case, since the order was listed in my account, but you never know! I also ordered with 1-click at around 1 am, so I will begin my patient wait....
Got a tip for us?

Spelling Police here: You should have used the word Queue Not Cue like you have done!
I really hope the 82 in your name was not your year of birth - as someone aged 29, should be able to spell the word Queue. A child of 12 would be expected to know the correct spelling.
Perhaps you should have delayed the ipad purchase and concentrated on buying a dictionary???
Wow who cares this is an apple rumors forum!
Maybe you should put that amazing writing talent to a more positive use?
Haha calm down buddy. No not bitter, you weren't there (unless you were one of the guys I mention buying two at AT in Cardiff
I understand there are plenty of genuine reasons for buying two, I'm not the only one in my house with an iPad - and if people buy two to sell one on, fair enough it's up to them what they do with their purchase, just frustrating if you were queuing and missed out. I've got one ordered now anyway, but like I said you weren't there at the time, this was my personal judgement on a situation I experienced, no need to get so riled up.
I was indeed there. There was no one in the queue who seemed anything like you're suggesting. Sorry, but you're just having a go because you didn't get one.
I'm not riled up. Just annoyed at people making rash judgements.
Anyone want a Black 32GB Wifi? Bought it for my girlfriend but she prefers the original. HMV won't accept a return as the selophane has been opened, but the iPad's still in the plastic packaging, not been on/activated, etc. So it's still brand new and unused, I though about putting it on a classified site for a £10er less, does that sound reasonable since it's only missing the plastic wrapper, or should I go lower? I have the receipt still and Smart Cover that I bought with it. Any ideas?
Thanks
Leon

Just called up Currys, said that my order has been "released", which according to the woman on the other end means it's actually left the warehouse and been shipped. I'm a little dubious since I haven't received any notification, but she said call back tommorow and it's likely that they can give me a tracking number. She then said that delivery was 3-4 days.
Hopefully I haven't just been fed a bunch of ********.

If I was you I would sell it for +£50 of RRP on eBay or in Classifieds. If you took a day off work to queue up then it's reasonable to pass on your expenses / queuing up fee. If you feel bad about passing that on then sell it for RRP. Why sell it for less just because you opened the outer cellophane?
i'm bidding feverishly on a 16gb white model on ebay, hope i win it. pity the seller wants 40gbp shipping for europe but oh well.
I'm fairly disappointed with apple and how they are handling their online store orders. I ordered just after orders went like at 00:30am for nothing practically

I got call from Curry for security check, asking for personal details etc and they said I should receive e-mail soon!
Congrats to all those who had their iPads delivered so quickly. I ordered mine for Monday collection but as I'm in all day I wish I'd had it delivered instead now!
Shame you can't change the delivery status once you've ordered. Hey I'm not complaining at least we've all managed to get hold of one
Lol - I was about to post the exact same thing. Just had email from apple too, same delivery date
however my tesco order seems pretty solid and is still saying I'll get that one Monday. I'll keep the apple order open untilMonday then as soon as ive got the iPad in my hands I'll cancel the apple order. I'm stuffed though if apple ship it before then lol - I'm guessing I'll be able to return it though?
Same here, although due to the site being crazy I didn't get my order in until 1.03am. No Tesco order for me though, so I'm just trying to forget about it till April! Fortunately Apple tends to project worse-case estimated lead times for both dispatch and shipping so hopefully I'll see the iPad a little sooner than 4 weeks' time!

What a complete loser taking the time to write that... I think the envy train pulled in early with this guy up front!

thanks for this .. will now be optimistic and think that the same is happening to my Currys order

I have a white 16gb wifi that a friend of mine asked me 2 get him when I was in the queue only to find out he was only joking (or he couldn't get the cash).... I am gonna return it to the apple store on Monday unless someone wants to give me £425 for it (it's still sealed) I live in sunderland
