It's 12:26pm here in Chicago and I guarantee 100% that this damn iPad gets delivered at 2:59 with 59 seconds.
 
Aaargh!

I've got to meet someone at 2pm, it's 12:30 here in Houston and I know it's 'before 3pm' but I was hoping to pull it off.

It's raining so not sure about the note on the door business.

Come on fedex dude! Its not like you're busy or anything.

I've purpsefully avoiding going to the apple store to play with an iPad, shunned my friends with them because I want the first time to be special with my precioussss.

Happy iPad 3G day everyone.
 
It's delivered...

My wife just called, she got it. This is in Long Island, NY.:D

To do list:
- put the screen protection film on (amazon)
- try the new rubber skin case to if it fits (amazon)
- try the new Neoprene Sleeve(amazon)
- connect to my home Wi-Fi
- connect to AT&T 3G
......
 
at last!!!!!

Finally! as of about 10 minutes ago. The FedEx truck pulled up, then the driver spent about 6 weeks or so banging around inside the truck, while I hopped around barefoot in the sunshine, about to die from impatience. But he finally emerged, box in hand. I asked if he'd had a lot of these to deliver today, and he said, yeah, he had. And lots of folks glad to see him? Oh yeah, that too. :)

Syncing right now.
 
GOT MINE!

Synced and connected to 3G! ( went with the unlimited plan for this month to see how much data i use )

testing Wifi and 3G speeds now
 
So it is 1:52 here, and still no sign of the FedEx guy! I'm patiently waiting... I guess only an hour and 8 minutes to go at most...
 
still waiting

in Atlanta, it say's its been out on the truck since 8:15 this morning, 40 minutes until 3pm here and still no 3G in my hands.
 
When I track on FedEx, I see this (in Ft Worth TX):

Ship date Apr 29, 2010
Estimated delivery Apr 30, 2010 by 4:30 PM
 
Received mine at 11:00AM

My delivery arrived at 11:00 AM, the Fedex driver indicated he had about 50 on his truck. It sounds like it will be a busy Friday for Fedex today, given this was one drivers feedback.

With all of the preorders it may bode well for those heading to stores to pickup today.
 
Delivered about two hours ago. Driver said he had about 45 more stops than usual because of these. Said "have fun with it".
 
11:43 San Diego -

knock, knock!

FedEx Guy: "Enjoy your new toy!"

Me: "Oh, you know what it is..."

FedEx Guy: "Yea, we've got 500 of these. Good job security, though."

Me: "Good luck!"
