iPad 3G to be Available on April 30th in U.S., Camera Connection Kit Shipping

[rworne]

That might explain the bump from 32mb to 64mb. It does NOT explain or excuse the bump from 16GB to 32GB for $100!

Sure it does. I'd like to thank you for subsidizing my 64GB purchase.

Besides exactly what you said what do you mean?

Going to "Order Status" on the Apple Store's website yields a totally unformatted page with the only text:

An Internal Server Error Has Occurred.

I got through once or twice, but most requests (95%) are failing.

Hello, does anybody knows if the camera connection kit will be available in retail stores? i mean " late april" ?

 

[LSleeter]

Finally! At least I have a date to look forward too!

I have my wireless Bluetooth keyboard and I have my iPad case (guess I should be glad I have one of these. I have been told that they are sold out and are on back-order).

I am all set to receive my iPad (64GB 3G) on the 30th! Only 10 more days of waiting!

Its about time they give us a date. And boy were they serious about the "end of April" thing. Anyway, ive been waiting for this and ill be counting down the days till I get mine.
Im surprised Apple didnt do a "reserve your iPad now" like they did with the Wifi vers.

Wasn't the 'reserve your iPad for in store pickup' an option when they first went on preorder?

Only for Wifi, not 3G. 3G was pre-order for delivery only.

But who knows - maybe AT&T wasn't ready (that's my most likely theory on the release decision because we know how AT&T is about bandwidth).

Shortly after the keynote I recall reading that the extra wait for the 3G was due to Apple needing to get the appropriate FCC approvals for the 3G radio.

I have asked the apple stores here in the Dallas area (last friday) and they said 1st or 2nd week in may.

I had mine ordered but was hoping to grab one early for an airshow. I got mine yesterday, and it is really kick ass.

An interesting observation though...It looks like fedex is dorking with the history on the shipments check this out:
