They're probably wondering why they're being DDOS'd by all of us refreshing it constantly.
Got a tip for us?

They're probably wondering why they're being DDOS'd by all of us refreshing it constantly.
But what if the entire UK supply of iPads is storedin the basement of the Regent St. store?
OK, well just keep half an eye on it, then...
Store is up and no ipad info as expected.....

Serious Question
What on earth takes this long???
Updating webpages should take a matter of seconds/mins surely.
They have to have the pages all ready on their servers ready to publish right??
I dont get it.

Wondering? They'd be worried if we weren't!
I have a day off today, so sitting here watching Doctor Who and refreshing google reader for news of the iPad, and wondering if I should trade in my MBP for a core i7 one...
it's got to be showmanship, there's no way, like you say, that they are busy rewriting it all, checking it maybe, but all they have to do is overwrite the old sections with the new ones.

If it is then what are we waiting for?! I'll bring the crowbar, you get the masks of ex-American Presidents.
its part of the suspense
also I think that maybe they ensure that all the pages are working as if they had to shut the pages down again there would be murder!
Because the technicians like to go on forums like this and watch us all get worked up then they hit "the button" to show us nothing actually has changed.
Then they make bets on what comments we will make.
The worse swear word beginning with 'c' comes to mind!
The thread is nearly 100 pages long! UK customers want the ipad and we WANT IT NOW!!!! Freedom!
Apple love creating a buzz, don't they?
It's like when a Space Shuttle is returning to Earth and there's 20 minutes of radio silence as the ship passes through the upper atmosphere...
It doesn't really take them long. Apple does this as it generates interest and people starting talking about it on social networking sites. Even tech news websites start commenting on it. That way they can maximise the buzz about it and then open the store.
no, he's fully qualified.
ahahahahahahah
sorry.
EDIT: Dammit beaten to the Joke again.

So random guess how many times do you think you have hit refresh??
I would guess a few hundred.

Witch Doctor ?

I bet he knows how much an ipad will cost
I heard his Tardis runs on Quad Apple A4 processors
