If you ever want to contact *LTD* just start a post in some slight way criticizing Apple. (If it's really urgent though its faster to praise Adobe).
You probably don't know me then
I don't seem to have these problems on my iPad.
Got a tip for us?

The reason for Apple's existence sonny: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASML_Holding
Cough *Echelon*... Perhaps you would like to rephrase the part about 'good business practices'
What bad WiFi?
Ha! A company lies about supply and demand and you swallow it hook, line, and sinker.
The last refuge of a scoundrel company when an item is tanking is to hold up supply to hopefully try and create artificial demand.
Oldest trick in the book.
Except the item isn't tanking. LOL

Pay attention.
This sucks.

You ever heard of ARM processors? Like the ones in, say, the iPhone and the iPad?

Cambridge, England, United Kingdom, EU.
Apple, although brilliant in many ways, also do sometimes suck. They over-charge and under-deliver. Jobs is a control freak who only cares about squeezing the last penny out of the consumer.
Just my opinion. I hope I haven't broken any laws...
sue me sue you blues
"I think I'll sue ASML because they are good." - Typical EU response.
If they are good, they must be doing something wrong.

Okay why is this thread even 18 pages? I understand it sucks that the ipad was delayed. But get over it! You will get it when you get it.
Mean while you can always buy one from ebay or hop on the redeye and come over here to the states.
Keep in mind here in the US we often have to wait for new products as well that come from japan and europe. So be patient and you will get it. But either way playing the violin and asking for cheese with your respective whine is not going to change a thing

European designed computers? Ha ha. Try the iMac.
I'm betting you're one of the infamous 82% of Americans that don't have a passport yes? Nature's quarantine.
I hope you wait until 2011 for a bowel movement.
????????? I may be a dumb Dutchie but I really don't understand one word from what you just posted.....
So you are saying Europeans must leave Europe to create innovative designs? Must be why you have all them there Passport thingers.
Even as one of those pesky Europeans, I also find the whining a bit odd. Let's not forget how long we had to wait for the original iPhone. Personally I don't give a rat's ass - the delay just means more time for the 'early adopter lust' to dissipate. It's just a consumer toy after all. See, it's already dissipated for meOkay why is this thread even 18 pages? I understand it sucks that the ipad was delayed. But get over it! You will get it when you get it.

anyone else getting fatigued waiting for the iPad 3G
I ordered the iPad 3G 64GB on March 12th, and my excitement levels were through the roof. Now after the ipad wifi launch, reading all the reviews, listening to all the podcasts, and waiting waiting waiting...I kind of feel like I don't care anymore. Dare I say I'm feeling like I almost regret dropping $900 on an iPad.
Don't get me wrong, I'm sure I'll love it, and the day it finally ships my attitude might completely change, but at the present moment, I'm loosing interest. It's April 14th, and we still don't even have a delivery date.

Pot meet kettle. Microsoft is not a monopoly and you are giving them a negative image.
Here's a hilarious comment from a Neowin member (bad grammar included), which is quite telling about what's really eating away at the anti-iPad crowd:
iPad is simply annoying, it shouldn't be this much popular.
"It shouldn't be this popular."
It's anger, folks. Even more so than envy or frustration. Anger that Apple can get away with limiting choices in a closed environment and end up rocking the tech world. Again.

I'm not getting into a war over which continent has the greatest designers, inventors, thinkers etc. Historically, you'll lose. Badly.
Ive was a rarity. Went over during one of the numerous brain drains. $$$ spoke. But let's not forget his talent lay unrecognised for years at Apple, and he famously had his resignation ready in his back pocket when Jobs first requested that meeting.
LOL. Maybe if you left the bathroom occasionally, you would have seen articles like "Apple shrugs to iPad Wi-Fi problems," from the Register:
"Apple has admitted that its iPad isn't very good at Wi-Fi, and suggests that customers having problems move nearer to their hotspot to get a signal."
Well if anyone ever doubted that Apple doesn't give a toss about anything other than it's US market, here's the proof.
This might be their Achilles heel one day (although I doubt it).
Screw you, Steve.

Oh, I'm sorry, I thought you meant it actually had an effect on sales or that it was so widespread there would be an uproar.
Misunderstood. My bad.
Europeans have contributed greatly to technology, there is no question about that. Unfortunately it has been difficult over the past 20 years for European companies to release any really innovative technology products. We can agree it is not the people, so why then are the overwhelming majority of technology products with global appeal being released by American companies. The designers are often Europeans, Asians, and Indians working for American companies.
My guess would be there remains a higher risk aversion in European companies. To release a significant consumer electronic device globally requires an enormous risk of capital (Which the Europeans have more of than the Americans) and a willingness to let it all go down the drain (Which the Europeans do not have).
Hmmm. Cliff is actually the only guy on the board that I have marked as a buddy. He is very reasonable and has a good sense of humor. And I'm a European. And I'm pretty sure that Cliff agrees that just as many tools live in the US as in Europe... And I don't mean percentage wise
Oh, yes. As I pointed out, nearly half the U.S., by population, are tools. If you fly from NY to California, nearly 70% of your time aloft is spent flying over what we call "tool country." Remember, this is a nation that invented a sandwich consisting of two pieces of fried chicken instead of bread, with cheese and ham in between. Tools-a-plenty.
We're told if we leave the country we have to pay to use the airplane bathrooms, so we'd rather stay here and enjoy our delicious chicken-ham-cheese sandwiches.
I bet you are one of those lazy communist Europeans who thinks they have government supported health care.
I hope you get the hiccups so bad your ears get sucked into your brain.
