The "Delivered iPad" and Impressions Thread

Not an Attitude but Purely Based on Past Experience

This attitude cracks me up. UPS seems to be killing it this morning, fulfilling a herculean task, and so many on this forum can't say anything nice about them? tsk tsk

No, nothing positive to say about UPS. My experiences (many decades) with UPS delivery service have been awful!
I'm excited about getting my iPad but that doesn't preclude or diminish UPS's sad track record :p

4. Accelerometer seems more responsive than iphone (although might just be because of size? Aka, because it's bigger, i'm moving it slower, which makes reduces "delay"

So, on my iPhone, I hate the screen delay on a new orientation, and for a long time just thought the processor or the accelerometer weren't fast enough.

But, then, I have certain apps on the phone that show an amazing responsiveness to the accelerometer, and I've concluded that Apple built a "delay" into screen rotation responsiveness to buffer against too frequent screen changes.
 
Call UPS and track it over the phone - all your destination scans will magically turn to Out for Deliveries.

Some people have zero appreciation. Free Saturday delivery to your home so you don't have to wait in line and you're concerned that the website isn't up to the second.
 
Acton, MA just arrived

According to UPS it's still in route from E. Boston to Chelmsford, but it's in my hands as of 5 minutes ago.

Okay I appreciate UPS's lack of accurate tracking online. I appreciate UPS's poor track record with past deliveries :p

BTW, Saturday delivery was not a gift from UPS ;)
:apple: did/arranged it . . . credit where credit is due
 
Heavier in my hand than I expected. And typing this is horrible. Fingernails gotta go. :)

So post about it in the 'Official' thread. Pretty sure we don't need one thread per delivery.
 
Screenshot language selection

He guys, as you will have great attention from abroad, could someone send a screenshot which language's are available for selection?

You will have eternal gratitude from everyone abroad..
I am hoping "dutch/nederlands" will be one of them.

Thank you!!!
 
Charlotte, NC. Delivered at 10:03 am. :)

1. Arrived with 97% charge. Mine does not say 'Not Charging' while plug in via USB,
2. Can join a 5 GHz, 802.11n only network with no issues.

Greatest minor annoyance so far.
1. No tab key. I keep trying to press one with muscle memory.v

I'll bet you get your iPad today, without a problem. Perhaps wait to bitch until that is proven wrong?

UPS's track record of poor delivery service will remain unchanged after today's delivery as well. One instance does not erase years of bad service :p
