Don't know about you guys but I have decided to order my new iPad online this morning at 5am and then take my chances at the store today. When I places my order it said 2-3 weeks which is a bit scary!! I went for the 32gb 3G in black with the grey smart cover (yes I know I'm boring) let me know whether you have taken the same route and also whether you hear from Apple on shipping. I will hopfully be heading out to Covent Garden this afternoon to try to get my hands on one.... ATB Nick

BTW meant to call it "online ordering UK" but my finger slipped on my iPhone can't change it now!!!
 
Hey uknick, firstly welcome to MacRumors ;)

Yeah, I'm going to wait and order mine. I'm not rushing in to it. I'll order mine online also, unless I have good reason to pop in to town and buy the iPad2 from the local Bristol store. I'm still wondering if I really need it or not. Still deciding, but temptation is strong! :rolleyes:
 
That's the best thing you could've done, because I failed to do so, and now I waiting for my iPad to be shipped on April 20th, here in the US.:mad:

Yes I'm hoping that it will be first come first served basis and maybe it will be early next week??

Come on Will - you know you want one!! Just give into the inevitable....

I bought the first gen a year ago and never regretted it ( sold it on eBay before the new one was announced :)) it is by far the best gadget I have ever owned and believe me I have tried many! I even had a brief flirtation with a Galaxy Tab over recent weeks - but it only took me a few days before I gave up and stuck it back on eBay! Once you have tasted Apple other fruits taste just bland ;-)

I can't wait to get the new one particularly for AirPlay with my Apple TV.

I would be going to Bristol if I wasn't working today. Hope that there might be one with my name on somewhere in London.

One last small point - can you veleive that Orange block this site on my iPhone because they say it is "adult content" that really annoys me - it wouldn't happen on my 3 SIM used in my iPad!

Ring orange up and say you want adult content turned off, I think you can do it without speaking to a human also ;)

No but seriously, it's not just porn they block, they block many other sites under that stupid block.
