[Merged] iPad 3G Ship Rumors

I think this is likely just for new orders. Those who pre-ordered should get theirs by "late april".

It didn't take long for the wifi-only to change from April 3rd to April 12th.

Nice to at least have some sort of defined date, even if it isn't what you are after.

I agree. I wish the CD rate in US is 5%, so that my $829 would mean something in the bank then just numbers.

Those are for the new orders! I noticed on my account that I am charged and ready for shipment. I suspect that you can buy one at the store by the end of the week. Have fun waiting in lines!!

Are you serious???

Show pictures!!! Please!!!
 
My order still says late April...I'm holding them to it:D It would be bad business to have an order say late April and ship in May.

I have to believe this is the cut off point, all new pre orders from the 19th on will be May 7th.

... because it isn't released yet ...

I'd imagine they have already gone through their initial allotment. My order status still says late April.

I hope so too. Everybody would be happy to have them before May kicks in.:D
 
Calm down guys. This seems to be for new orders. On my order status it still says Late April. It seems to me those of us that have already pre ordered will still get our iPads shipped this month.
 
Woah found this out because I was teetering towards pre-ordering it tonight. Nevermind that!

What about in-store availability? Is it May 7th or still late April?

Same question. I always planned to just go grab one when they come to the store anyway.

That sucks.

I'm so glad I preordered mine 4/15. =D

Orginally I got flack for it because "Why don't you wait for them to at least announce the date?" "Well I'm going to get it anyway, so why does it matter?"

Now I'm so glad! =D
 
thank god i pre ordered on the 14th, well i really hope this is for new orders since im really anxious to get one now.
 
Credit Card Just Charged $13 for 2 Day Shipping

FYI, I have no idea if this means anything and I Know all iPad orders now have a shipping method of "priority"... but on 3/12, I asked for the 2 day shipping option which was $13 and it was just charged on my credit card...
 
I am a bit confused how this works. Let's say theoretically the iPad shipped today, wouldn't that mean if you had overnight they would be here by tomorrow? Will ones ordered online get to people before ones go on sale in-store? I do not know how this worked for the WiFi iPad, my only exerience is they tend to ship video games to arrive on the day of the in-store release.

Thanks! :D
 
i dont know why people say that they have been charged. Please give proof, i just checked my account and i havent been charged yet either

i think its setup like this, the day u get ur Ipad in the mail is the same day they are available in store. At least i think thats the way they did it with the wifi version.

I would think that would be the goal, otherwise people would be reselling their early ones for huge profit to people who can't wait a few days :p

Once again, when are the 3g pads available in stores? May 7th or late April? Ta very much in advance!

If I had to take a guess, I would say the end of this week. That's assuming the pre orders are shipping within the next two days. In my mind, this first round of iPad 3Gs will go to the early pre orderers and Apple Stores.
That's just an educated guess, though.
