For whatever reason, I knew Apple was going to start taking orders earlier than they had announced. I went to their site at 12:45 and was pleasantly surprised that my instincts were right.
Just ordered a 16GB WiFi black with green smart cover. The discount I get through my employer makes the smart cover feel like a freebie.

You know... This may be very true, and could seriously hurt the shipping time unless they are here in the USA already.

Nabbed one!
...no expedited shipping? Oh well, I can wait... as long as it doesn't go through customs for too long. (Or do new iPads have to go through customs?)

If I can't pick one up easy this weekend, I will order one Sunday night. It is saying 3-5 biz days, there really won't be any difference if I order it now or then.
The discover.com link goes directly to the Apple Store front page. I then clicked on the iPad at the top and then went to View Models and Prices.
Don't think the 5% applies to iPads.
Offer not valid on gift wrap, gift card, gift certificate, iTunes, Verizon iPhone4, ATT iPhone4, refurbished iPad, Apple One to One Membership, shipping, iPad, or iPad 2 purchases or Apple in-store tutorial services
Not really sure what it applies to, other than iPods.
32GB WiFi, and after a last minute near-choke, White.
Black Leather Smart Cover.
$714 with NJ state tax. Thank God for American friends.

Placed my order
Ordered mine 12:45am and it went through no problem. I'll go to Apple store today and wait in line to get one more for my wife, I ordered one on line to make sure I got at least one by next week. But I do think I'll get one tonight as I plan on taking day off of work to wait until 5:00pm.

Ordered a 16GB WiFi (White) with no Smart Cover- I'll get one at the store today. Sucks that we'll have to wait a week, but oh well.
I can't wait 3-5 days! I was hoping for overnight shipping and having it on Saturday.
I ordered anyway but I'll head to the Apple Store SoHo at around 4PM and see if I can snag one there to play with this weekend.

Scary watching the Japan quake coverage on CNN. Originally from the Philippines and I've experienced Intensity 7 quake and it's scary
They aren't in the US yet - this is why the shipping delay.
Again, it shows Apple has sent all its initial stock to the stores.
As more stock becomes available now, the shipping will start. Most likely early next week.
I ordered my smart cover online with my iPad, it says it will arrive before my iPad, I am so excited to play around with a smart cover for 2 or 3 days see what it will stick too...NOT oh well
By Sunday it will say "Ships in May"
Especially is supply chains are disrupted by the quake. I guess you better head over to the store and wait. Pack a lunch
Yeah - I got a text while I was ordering the iPad. We live bang next to the beach in Southern CA - and for 2 secs I thought about going into panic mode - but decided to complete my order....
