okay seems like the emails are not going out by model or date/time ordered. Are they going out by name... doubt that but maybe the email accounts are not receiving right away... not sure but seems a bit sporadic from all the postings. I love this analyzing fun.

So they are not apparently sending out the letter in order of people ordering their iPads. As they missed me. . . :(:(:( I ordered on Mar 12 9:15 PM PDT 64 Gb 3G. still no email.

Could be the handling by the apple e-mail servers, handling by each person's e-mail service, some combination of the two or it could just be :apple: trying to see just how riled up they can get us. :p
 
I just got The Email and said by the end of the month! Why are some getting May 7th?

I did order the WiFi and 3G the first day they took preorders:eek:
 
Steve is a genius; I've never wanted to see a nearly thousand dollar charge hit my account as badly as I want this to. It's bordering on pathetic at this point, and the saddest part of all is that I recognize it and yet continue in my behavior. ;)

Don't worry Pete, we're in the same boat with you! :)

I've said this about Apple, and I'll say it again. They control the leaks, and they have the hype built up on their releases.
 
Just got my second email for my 32 3g I order on April 7. They've already charged for the 64 3g I ordered at 10:41am on March 12th. Just waiting for the second charge.

May 7th is ONLY for NEW preorders starting TODAY.
Remember March 27th for Wifi iPad when Apple decided to cut off the April 3 delivery and everyone who orders after march 27th will get theirs in April 12 instead of April 3

This is the same situation....

WWSD! What would steve do?
 
The ones for May 7th are for new orders placed as of Yesterday I believe.
Pre-orders prior to that should be on time which is before end of April.

Someone earlier in the thread stated he/she placed an order yesterday and got an email today. Looks like the cut off is today.

I have my charge on there, just not posted to the transaction detail. With a current balance of $32.44 but an available balance of about $1,100, hmmm, what Apple product could have caused that! :D

I just checked my Visa account, and I have now been charged for the AppleCare protection plan for the iPad. So now I have A.P.P., case, stand, VGA cable... all I need is the bleepin iPad!!

I have everything set up on my desk. The mail guy at work holds up the package before he gives it to me and says, "It's from Apple...is this it?" (he knows that it won't come to the office until later this week or early next week). My response with a smile, "Ed, another thing for the 'set-up'!" I have everything set up on my desk except the iPad itself. We both agree though that Apple could have just shipped everything together in one big box!

lol I vote for the latter.
 
Apple put a pending charge on my account the day I pre-ordered my iPad 3G, April 16th.

I am so happy that I got my pre-order in on time, it would have sucked to miss this shipping batch. I received my email this morning.

The bottom charge is for 2 iPad WiFi 64GB versions and a few accessories.
The 880 charge is for the iPad 3G 64GB + sales tax

Why do I feel like we are on a roller coaster and are starting up the first hill? Click, click, click, click.

Keep your hands and feet inside the ride at all times!
 
Let me put my cynical spin on this: Since we got the emails today, that surely means that it's another day (today) that they won't be shipping them. It would've been nicer to get a shipping confirmation email :) :p
 
Beginning to get that floaty feeling in my stomach:eek:

well, this is something

I also got an email, but it tells me nothing more than what the website tells me. The only charge I have been hit with is this for the dock I ordered.

Wow. I just wanted to check my order status on Apple's website. It took over 5 minutes for me to login. Either they're getting hammered with requests, or maybe, just maybe, they're doing a massive database update?!?

Or my ISP is just pathetic. Just sayin'.
