The Monkey Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 The various reviews and flurry of apps are pretty fascinating. Not to be too bandwagonesque, but it kind of seems like a "moment." For some reason, this device conjures up this text for me: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grawk Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 TUAW -- The Unofficial Apple Weblog iPad Frenzy: Getting yours by Erica Sadun (RSS feed) on Apr 1st, 2010 If you're looking to pick up an iPad on Saturday without having pre-ordered or if you're concerned about your pre-ordered iPad arriving safely at your door, TUAW has some helpful updates for you. Ignore your tracking data. Does your iPad tracking show that it is still sitting in China? Mine does. But according to Boy Genius Reports, your iPad is actually here and waiting under guard. They write, "Don't worry if your tracking info still shows the package hasn't left China, it's probably only 10 miles from you, sitting comfortably under the watchful eyes of Top Flight security." On his Twitter account, Thomas from UPS agrees. He is busy reassuring freaked-out Apple customers that, in fact, the tracking information they're seeing on UPS's site is inaccurate. It doesn't help that Apple's Order Status system has been up and then down and then up again all morning. Buying one on Saturday. Did you not order your iPad in advance? We called around to a number of Apple Stores today and spoke with representatives, all of whom confirmed that they will be receiving stock in addition to preorder stock. This stock will be sold on a first come, first serve basis using the same two line system (one reserved line, one drop in line) you saw back during the 3GS release. Any remaining reserved stock will be released at 3PM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blessingx Posted April 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 Looks like Apple may be calling and scheduling in-store Saturday pickup. Anyone get a call? Apple store calling to confirm iPad orders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jinp6301 Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 Apparently they're getting a maximum of 15 per store, with four of those earmarked for display only. So, no.

tyrion Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 (edited) It appears that some people are getting this email from Apple: "To Our Valued Apple Customer: Thank you for your recent purchase of the magical and revolutionary Apple iPad. We would like to advise you Saturday delivery is not available in your area. Your order will be delivered on Monday April 5th. For up-to-date information on your order, please visit our Order Status website at http://www.apple.com/orderstatus." I don't know if it's true but there are a few people that claim to have received them. Also, the iPad App store is live: http://www.macrumors.com/2010/04/01/ipad-apps-begin-to-go-live-in-app-store/ Edited April 1, 2010 by tyrion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopstretch Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 There's also an element of payback for Flash performance sucking so badly for so long on the Mac. Adobe would probably argue that's because Apple won't let them put hooks into the actual OS the way Microsoft does, but nanny nanny boo boo fuck plugins the end.

n_maher Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 I wish we could fast forward about a month from Saturday to hear what people are saying and how useful they're finding iPads. There's little doubt in my mind that initially it'll be almost a resounding success but I want a bit of the shine to wear off and hear some real opinions. I'm counting on you Stretch/Mike/Dan/others.
