Who pre-ordered the iPad 4?

i bought an iPad 3 on October 3, so today marks the 23rd day post ownership.
i fall within the 30 day unofficial apple store return period. i have been reading that people have had mixed results in store - i was planning on going this evening to see if i can get it done.
however, i just checked the lead time and it says the LTE model won't ship until Mid-November which means it wouldn't deliver until the 3rd week of November. that is certainly a long time to wait, but getting the A6X for no extra cost i feel is worth it. the Facetime HD camera and Lightening port don't matter to me, but returning to the same level of fluidity as i used to have in my iPad 2 would be a great thing. the A5X just isn't cut out to handle both the Retina display and a graphics intensive game like Metal Storm
the negatives would be that i lose my jailbreak which means i can't use BTC Mouse (at least until there is an iOS 6 jailbreak)

32GB Black AT&T. This is my gift for the year from my husband. He gets my iPad 3 
. This way, all of my iDevices (I also ordered a 16GB Black AT&T Mini) will be on the lightening connector.
My order says the iPad 4 will be here on November 26th.

Have a big GC for Best Buy (from selling my 3 and wife's 2) - unfortunately no pre-order from BBY...
Oh well - guess I'll be over there on Nov. 2 to buy my white 32 gb in person.

I was going to order a 3rd gen for christmas for my parents, but ho hey, now they'll get my 32gb 3rd gen, and I'll enjoy a new 4th gen! Works out superb, I think they would have been super happy even getting an iPad 2, so it's a win win!
My boss bought his employees a 3rd gen the DAY of the keynote, but that one is going to my kids for Christmas, and they surely don't need an upgrade to 4th gen.

Same for me. Replacing an iPad 1! So tired of the slowness; this will be a great step up. I love the A6 in my iPhone 5.Yep.
Holy smokes, yeah, you should see an _amazing_ bump in performance. Even our iPad 1 compared to A5 based iPads (2nd/3rd gen) seems a little clunky. The mix of 256MB + A4 is finally starting to show (at least from my perspective).
I went white again too. There's something I really dig on white for the iPad ... I know some folks suggest the black bezel "blends in" better when watching video but I don't really notice.
Enjoy!
Verizon 16GB LTE White. Can't wait!
Didin't pre-order till hours after it opened. I had school the whole day. Ordered yesterday around 10PM. I don't feel like I missed out, the ship dates didn't change so I'm sure I'll get it on launch day.

Black 64GB wifi here. Just sold off the last of my 30-pin devices. All lightning now! I just might buy an iPad mini later on. Next up will be the new 27 inch iMac when it's released.
Ordered a Black 32 Gig Wifi! Delivery will be on Nov 2. I find it funny that my dark gray smart cover will arrive two days before that
