iPad Shipping Estimates Improve to 'Within 24 Hours'

Last Sunday I was able to go to the Apple Store at Arrowhead Mall (Peoria, AZ) and they had all models in stock. Also the local BB had a sign out front saying iPads in stock...
I think as part of the event Wednesday we will see a) iPad shipping worldwide (at least WiFi version) b) Beta of iOS 4.1 for iPad released to Developers

Agreed, MC. @Sirozha: stradale33 has posted twice on MacRumors, and used the word "inshallah" once. So where's this "Muslim propaganda in every post" coming from?
The lack of RAM is really starting to annoy me now. Can't switch tabs in Safari without the pages being refreshed. So. Irritating.
They're shipping so many of these, don't they want to give a thought to upping the spec a bit? A Rev B of sorts?
Multitasking is going to suck. :/ They're making it harder for themselves in the long run, and for us too.

That's great, i can't wait to not buy an overpriced incredibly gimped ipod touch.
Not really, they will release a new ifad with more memory and sell millions to the millions that just bought an ifad.

You just need to hack the software switch that enables the 128 GB of on die RAM. It is a feature that is being reserved for iPad IOS 4.0 but all you need to do is poke a value to an address and it turns on.
I imagine that a lot of people are stalling for Wednesday. If there was a sudden freeze over a couple weeks in anticipation of an Apple event, it would help Apple catch up.
Who knows what's coming, but it'd be silly to buy an iPad this week. I know that by the end of the week, I'll have a new Apple product: iPod touch, iPad, iPhone or something else????
I neither said nor implied there hasn't been a decline in sales or demand. What I'm saying is the statement "everyone who wants one already has one," which another commenter correctly pointed out is the same cynical statement often made by the naysayers regarding every new Apple product that comes down the pike, is most certainly bogus.
Why aren't you using one of the other browsers out there then if you don't like that?
Atomic Browser is even free:

OR you can go with the small charge for Perfect Web Browser if you prefer that one instead:

More like people are focused on end of summer and getting the kids back to school etc.etc. An iPad will make a great Christmas gift and I suspect that a lot of people are holding off for that as well. Course by then, they might be hard to find again! LOL
Trust me, there is no danger of me getting an iPad anytime soon. It will take a few generations and at least matte screen or e-ink.
It groups Wisconsin with Illinois so it's obviously not driving skill, and it groups Wisconsin with Idaho, and therefore not potato quality. Any other ideas?
Yes it was a generalisation but there's merit in the argument that iPad sales may be declining as Apple runs out of early adopters. That's not naysaying, it's just a simple observation. You fanboys are a defensive little bunch.
It seems that sirozha's bigotry has been brushed under the carpet by MR.
I can't imagine holding this without the large bezel, i'd constantly be catching the active touch area. Not only does it serve as a beautiful frame when i've got this thing on the side as a digital photo frame, but I think it's a practical and integral aspect to the iPad design.
here here!
The usual faces criticise, tell us a product is doomed to failure. The product is a success and they move on to criticising something else. not sure why they're on an Apple forum if all they want to do is talk c**p. Are these people so bored with their lives that they need to criticise products they neither own, have real world experience of or intend to purchase?
As BA Barracus would say "crazy fools"...
Quite agreed. If someone says "Please God" or "God willing" is this Christian propaganda? There's no room for bigotry in this world - idiots please move along.
Guess you'll never own one then. Shame, it's an amazing device. People don't want e-ink or matte screens, it's why iPad outsells the kindle and why this device has sold more units in it's short life than any other tablet device in history.
Most people who complain about gloss screens on iMacs simply don't own one and have it for every day use. The gloss/glare is a non-issue.
I want a matte screen for reading, which is why I have owned 4 Kindles. And there are lots like me. Ereaders are a good sized niche market. Niche because they arent netbooks and do one purpose, but do it exceedingly well.
I am still working my little white intel iMac because I dont care for the glossy screens on the newer ones. The whole design just doesnt move me. And I have 3 of the newer aluminum bodied Macbooks, didnt care for their screen either.
I am no inexperienced or ill informed, but just have different likes/wants than you. You need to step back and stop speaking for everyone in your broad statements.
This version of the ipad is already outdated. In a few months apple is going to release one with dual cameras for face time action. It would be dumb of apple not to do so. If my guess is right we should have camera's on Ipod touches tomorrow making the purchase of this gen ipad a waste of money.
Because we all know that iPads are the same size as touches right? I'd never type this message out on the small screen of a touch. But this can and is being
Sent from my iPad.
I ordered one here in the UK at 1PM yesterday, Id recieved am email saying it had been shipped at 7pm. They estimate it will arrive to me today. If it does, that will be incredible. Less than 24 hours from payment, shipment accross the Atlantic, and delivery.
And the American chap I spoke to on the phone was so nice and friendly. Not like the stiff upper-lipped salesmen on the phone here. I love Apple, and I dont even have a Mac, sitting on the Fence about that though.
