Let's play...Guess the Preorder Date Game!!

[danlovaj]

Well, Feb 25 is about 3 hours away from being done. No rumored release date...not that I was expecting so.

Let's do a poll. We love those don't we??

My guess is March 2, its a Tuesday (Apple seems to like Tuesdays) and is one month from the "60 days" per Steve Jobs.

Your guess?

(Winner wins a good old MacRumors pat on the back).

Oh, bother!

 

[thejakill]

are you talking about the actual release date, or the date they will announce the actual release date?

announce: march 9
release: march 26

 

[danlovaj]

The day the release date becomes official. But both dates work too.

My take:

Announced date: March 2
Actual release date: March 30

 

[danlovaj]

Oh, bother!

What else do we got to do, but be obsessed with this forum, poring over it for any new changes every hour of the day? At least lets be entertained. If some site can start a rumor of Feb 25, then we can too. Did you see how excited the 'Net got over that rumor?

OR

I suppose I could just sit in front of my computer and hit refresh continously on the Apple Store until something happens....

I don't care about "when" I care about pre-order!

I don't care about "when" I care about pre-order!

That is what I mean by "announced date". I'd imagine when we can preorder, that it becomes official, with an announced official launch date.

March 26

March 26

Last Friday of the month, I think that sounds right. I'll guess:

Preorders start Wed 3/3, Release date Fri 3/26

 

[CylonGlitch]

Beware of the Ides of March!

 

[danlovaj]

The wait is a killer!!!

If we had an exact date, then we could all relax...but no...this waiting sure is good for one person..web forums like MR and the Apple website. I'm sure webpage hits are increasing as March drags on by.....

 

[SchneiderMan]

None of the above?

Oh, bother!
