OK, fair points on the 3G. I guess for me, I use the 3G mostly on the train and I find the 3G connectivity to be pretty poor on both my daily commute (South London to Victoria) and the work travel I sometimes do (on the East Coast line up to Yorkshire). The 3G is constantly in and out due to tunnels and dead spots so I don't think it warrants the extra cash. I may as well just put up with iPhone 3G or tethering my iPad. I can see that if you are regularly in areas with consistent 3G connectivity but no wifi it makes sense though.
Got a tip for us?

This has been happening intermittently for the last couple of hours - at least that's been my experience.
That's bad news for us
However I'll probably just end up getting a LTE MiFi whenever they're released.
Hi guys,
I am also in the cue!!!
I think I will go for 32gb and 4G, is my first ipad so worth getting the 4G. I will probably go giffgaff on the microsim, you can get precut sims for free http://www.giffgaffmicro.co.uk
Got luck everyone!!!

annoyed that I have been trying to order since 7pm.
I miss the Apple that was a Computer company, sorry but this is a joke, maybe the Apple tech department were not told of the little event today and to expect maybe a bit more traffic? Muppets.
In the Post PC era, its time for the Post Apple online store era, this crap of brining it down then to be hammered as soon as it goes up is a BS strategy. 3 hours the store is dead...
Awesome Hardware, Awesome design. **** internet implementation.... yup like thier iCloud services... a joke! Probably the same team that did mobile me has done applestore.

Good grief, at this rate Im going to be up all night, my impatience won't let me stop refreshing!
Going for a 16GB WiFi Black model myself, along with a RED leather Smart Cover and new Apple TV. C'mon Apple I can't telepathically give you money.

This.
My iPad 2 was 16GB Wifi and this time around I'm pushing myself to buy a 32GB version. Adding 3G to that would push the cost of the device close to the price of a new computer.
Actually, I kind of like the 3G because of something similar to your reasoning. I find that I get a consistently faster data connection with my iPad on Three than my iPhone on O2, particularly if on a train or as a passenger in a car. I like having two networks to rely on.
Also when away in hotels I find that they charge such astronomical amounts for wifi that the 3G is worth it. I used to have a mobile broadband usb stick and I found it paid for itself after just a few nights in a hotel.
Anyone had any luck ordering one? I really want to pre-order tonight!
Don't we all. LOL.
Not sure how reliable that is, as the RAM has yet to be confirmed, and the iPad 3rd gen is NOT quad core. The graphics chip might be, but this is still very much a dual core cpu.
iCloud has been pretty good for me too although I'm frustrated at the loss of iWeb and iDisk. However, iTunes Match has caused me no ends of troubles - so much so that I ended up restoring to a previous iTunes library and disabling Match. Money down the drain.
I think EA saying that it had more RAM than the Xbox 360 or PS3 was a giveaway. The Xbox has 512MB.
I do like these UK threads - it's so refreshing to have threads on here that manage to go beyond about 3 pages without degenerating into trolling and personal insults!
I'm sorry Apple but if you can spend $1 Billion on a new Datacenter, but you site still goes down for preorders, you don't really deserve my money...
I thought it was the guy from Epic who said that. EA wasn't at the press conference were they ?
Maybe we should start discussing nazis in order for the internet not to implode.
Ive been sat at the computer for 4 hours now, still no store. Im kinda ready to give up. See I dont NEED an iPad, this is meant to be an impulse buy to justify spending the money. However you cant call sitting in front of a computer for 4 hours an 'impulse buy'.
On the plus side I work for a major ISP so I am getting employee discount
