iPad EU News (Abandon all hope, ye who enter here..) ("Are you nuts?!" - Steve)

Isn't that still better for him than returning it and paying a restocking fee? So he's helping out a fellow forum member and he's rented it for a week.

Is he waiting for the 3G one, or he's not buying one at all anymore?

Yep, the restocking fee would probably be over $100. Don't think he's getting one at all anymore; the listing says he wasn't comfortable without having a keyboard. I'll have to wait until I receive it so I can make that decision myself.

Folks, mark Friday 23rd April as a likely release date..... why?
Because my boss just came in and said that we can't have time off that day (unusual where I work), so you can bet your ass that the day I can't get off work is the day that they are released lol

If thats the date, then preorders 'have' to be today, otherwise it's gonna be a case of Apple putting them on the website for immediate sale, which will cause complete chaos!

Down

And We Are Down!!!!!!

 

[talkingfuture]

Well, the store is down for MacBook updates so I hope they put the iPad on at the same time.

 

[limesmoothie]

UK Store IS DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[PrinceDraven]

And We Are Down!!!!!!

Sorry, forgot, CROSSES FINGERS!!!!!

 

[Yixian]

Store's down.

 

[watsonjm]

How long do we think? an hour? 2?

 

[aerowave]

haha, saw the forum spy get flooded with posts from the Arrandale thread and thought "I bet the store has gone down"

Let's hope for some UK iPad news!!

 

[limesmoothie]

Too much excitement for one day - I am awaiting delivery of my new 24" ACD (I needed a tech fix whilst waiting for iPad news).

 

[One Love 1867]

Oh god, PLEASE, this HAS to be it!

 

[Dodgeroo]

Yup! No offense to the guys waiting on the new MBP, but I really hope it's not just that. Fingers crossed!

 

[PrinceDraven]

How long do we think? an hour? 2?

No idea, hit refresh about 20 times so far!

 

[OwenDarko]

I'm not getting excited...it's probably only for the macbook updates...surely concentrating on the ipad is more important!

and my store isn't down! haha (Well the ipad section anyway...so)

 

[iWoz]

Haha! I had a feeling it would be today... Now lets hope we get an iPad price and launch date(UK) and not just MBP's

 

[iPaddy]

We're all in this together. Whatever happens today, iPad or no iPad, we're not alone.

 

[OwenDarko]

Lets all chant 'ipad' it may help....

 

[limesmoothie]

Right, I've transferred the cash into my current account that I had put aside for the iPad. Come on Apple. Bring. It. On.

 

[MRU]

Yep, I'm certain it's legit. First, it's preowned, or as preowned as a one week old device can be. Second, I'm buying it off alphaod, who has 13,000 posts and is a Demi. I

Oh that's grand. I thought it was an eBay purchase rather than a Marketplace here seller. Lycky sod saving a few $$ there

 

[PrinceDraven]

Lets all chant 'ipad' it may help....

Chanting is banned in my office!

 

[badbradderz]

not to sound desperate but PLLLLEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAASSSSSEEEEEEE PLLLLEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAASSSSSEEEEEEE PLLLLEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAASSSSSEEEEEEE LET THIS BE IT!!!!

 

[ethical]

Considering the Apple UK homepage is of the iPad, with large text saying "Coming late April", I'm not convinced this is going to be it

EDIT:

I forgot about pre-orders

*crosses fingers*

 

[JonnyIreland]

Wow, good luck everybody that has waited, I truly mean it!

 

[ollybutch]

Obviously nothing is confired untill we see in it black and white but i can't help being excited. This could end the months of waiting......... CMD R CMD R CMD R
