I got my iPad the Day it came out..

(Payed an American friend to go to America, Line up for 6 hours and buy 1, then send it back to the UK!)
 
People please, a little perspective here! The thing will be in stores and in your hot little hands (if you get one at a store) in 7 days. 7 (SEVEN) days! How is that anything but "immenent"? (BTW it's spelled imminent) It isn't coming any time soon? Seriously?

Have we really become this short of attention...this conditioned for immediate gratification? It's a friggin' toy. It isn't going to extend your life or solve world problems.

Folks, if you find yourself pining for a 3G iPad and feel you simply can not wait any longer, go outside...ponder the sun. It's 4.5 billion years old. It has 5 billion years of energy left. Ponder the moon if it's night time. The moon is also 4.5 billion years old. The amount of time left before the iPad 3G arrives is microscopic on the scheme of things. Subatomic even.

RELAX. IT WILL BE HERE NEXT WEEK.

+1 internets for you, sir.
 
Sorry, Imminent

Are you an English professor?

As for being a "toy" I beg to differ with you. The iPad is in every way a powerful computer. Elsewhere here there is even a thread that states the iPad is preferred for casual use verses the MPB.

Wondering if you have some inside info that tells us the iPad WiFi + 3G cannot get here before April 30?

No problem for me, I will wait until April 30. Am buying one for myself and my adult daughter. For me the iPad will do things that a MBP or iMac or a netbook will not do. I am a serious going pro photog and the iPad is perfect for showing my portfolio.

OK, much much more once I get one in my hands that is my own.
