I visit a lot of diverse forums, lots of different hobbies. This forum has the highest percentage of drama mamas I've ever encountered.

Girls, please adjust your panties. They appear to be in a wad. ;)
 
This thread is now obsolete as some iPads are now actually being SHIPPED!

I was wrong about this thread being obsolete this thread is now very viable, as units are apparently being shipped.

I second that. These are the days of our iPad lives...
 
BS. Anyone who buys $1000 worth of goods expects communication about their shipment and customer service. Unless of coarse you are a fan boy.
****.

Attempts at "Fan Boy" insults aside, I don't ever recall being given a specific date when any product from any company is Pre-Ordered or on Back-Order. Normally, you just get it when it becomes available. They will sometimes give a time frame, as Apple did.

Apple said you would get your notification when your product ships. Now if they ship the product without e-mailing you, I think you might have a point. But, honestly, and without hysteria, I think you're holding Apple to a different standard.

WOW. You need to expand your horizons! Spend five minutes researching pre-orders for videogames and DVD releases on Amazon.com. Yes, they are all available for pre-order, and yes, they DO give exact day of release... months ahead of time. So you might want to rephrase that statement...

No thank you.
 
excited

People, me included are excited about the iPad coming out, I am counting the days even though I have no shipment date, so let people get excited. just like everything else, if you dont want to read it don't, if so do. That simple. I enjoy these forums for this reason. Plus people don't have all day to search for info so we rely on one another. Let us be geeks and all is well....:)

If you aren't lying about the shipping info, I guarantee you that tomorrow FedEx tracking will say something like "package held at request of sender"

how did you get this info?
 
How can this be?

I will be in Omaha the day my iPad delivers to Florida AND my hotel is within view of an Apple store(literally one block) I was so hoping to have it for my trip. Bill Gates would have caught a glimpse of me using my iPad (Berkshire Hathaway meeting) but nooooooo. I won't see my iPad until Monday when I get back! Waaaaaahhhh:-(

I will have to join the crowd at the store 5pm and take a pic with my empty case, smiling and being a happy Apple customer:)

And no, don't even think about me trying to change shipping to Omaha! I don't want to chance it. I can't wait to have my iPad:)
