Sorry. You are just flat out wrong. This entire discussion is laughable. There is nothing you can say which will change the fact you are wrong. Just move along and respond to something else. I feel bad for your business school....they failed to teach you the basics.

Prove it.

First off, you make the same mistake everyone else does ... thinking that costs and prices are the same thing. They aren't, and that's Economics 101. The price charged by a company is not the same thing as the cost. It CAN be, but it often is not.

Second, what you are claiming is exactly that ... the basics. When you start to learn more about manufacturing efficiency, logistics, and the like, you learn that the standard economic principles don't always apply.

Lastly, if you think you know so much ... where's your iPad?

Still waiting. I ordered the 64gb At & T wi-fi/3g at 4:20 Am Eastern Time on 3/11/2011 and my order "Still has not Shipped". :(
 
WTF. I ordered my 16gb black wifi iPad at 3:45am EST & it's 'released for delivery' in Alaska. :/ WTF does that mean? lol.

mine has said the same thing since last night.. so frustrating since people are now getting theirs today and theirs also arrived in alaska yesterday at the same time.
 
ah i think i see it now.. anyone who has international shipment release yesterday at 11:36 is out for delivery today.. anyone after that.. sadly still sits in alaska..

my ipad is also freezing in alaskan cold.. hopefully should be here by tomorrow..

SuperRob,

There is no point in fighting with this Zoey person. They are not worth your time.

I think after spending the night in Alaska, my iPad will REALLY appreciate coming to Miami :D
 
Are you guys serious? We are all here for the same reason. OUR iPAD 2

Can we please act civil for the sack of people like myself that find this discussion useful?

And please don't question my education while you guys are on the subject because I am a college student with a degree in Accounting.
