If there is a limited supply, it IS a race. IF they run out, we might be waiting until the 14th, or the 21st, or maybe even December. Pre-ordering eases my mind that I will get one in the first week, at the latest.
Of course, I don't feel like this about every product, but to me, iPads are special. It's the device I've been waiting twenty years for, ever since I first tried to read a book on a laptop, and wanted to take off the keyboard. I guess I'm still not over the excitement at finally getting what I wanted.![]()
Yikes, I would want to be in front of you in line
