My iPad
I got my iPad 16GB from my auntie who live in Arizona and I am so proud to be the first Malaysian who own iPad and among the first to own it in Australia as I am studying in Melbourne at the moment.
My experience with it, every time I use my iPad, everyone will take a peek of it and whispered about it to each other and some are brave enough to ask me and asking to hold it.

I'm in Madrid. It was Fedexed to me on Friday from California by a friend, but a technical error with an invoice sent it back to sender hours later. It should get reFedexed today, but I'm not too hopeful for a speedy arrival.
Any wifi issues so far? I fully expect to find a constellation of dead pixels on mine when it finally gets here, in the shape of Jobs' middle finger.
An iPad in Scotland
I pre-ordered mine from Apple (with an American VISA card) and had it delivered to a friend who was traveling from Nevada to London just after the orders were to be dispatched. Nail-biting to see the progress, knowing the deadline of her travel plans. But she got it, and so I got it, and have it now up on the wee island in the Inner Hebrides where I live. Certainly the very first iPad on the Isle of Gigha (pop. 150).

Fingers crossed my friend has one for me.
I'm in the UK but should be in the US now, but due to the ash cloud still here, however I have a friend stuck in the US who I've asked nicely to bring one back for me.

Guarantee?
Is the iPad guaranteed when it is bought in the US and brought to the UK?
I heard it wasn't.

I havent had the chance to try WIFI too much yet but it works as a charm thus far. really sorry about the delay but I am sure your ipad will be just fine when here. app store gave me a couple of messages saying i am not located in usa so i cant buy but it is fine now and i did not do anything to fix it!
I am presenting my new research project on keytone tomorrow, cant wait to make the impact!

Got mine the Tuesday after launch day, Fedex delivery to the UK. Bought on Ebay, live in England. Amazing.
I hope to use mine for reading the thousands of pdfs I've accumulated on the netbook, after giving up on the Sony eReader for this purpose. It's in Fedex Indianapolis now, and according to the news yesterday Fedex is rerouting through Madrid. Either it will arrive quickly this week or get here covered in gray ash in a month after a donkey ride across Europe. I'm waiting for the stores to sells cases here next.
Just got my 64GB iPad from a local store for HK$7450 (US$960)
I wanted to wait for the 3G but every day I kept reading more and more about the device and I decided to go ahead and buy the non-3G version right away. Also got a silicone case for HK$50 (US$7) since the official case and keyboard sell for over 3x the US retail price over here.
