Woz get's his iPad... 3G?

[Squid7085]

Well, it appears Woz got his iPad, no big news really, except, its a 3G iPad. The one's that aren't out yet, right?

Via Engadget... He's in a Mall, and got it from the Apple Store. Figure this one out.

He's a co-founder of Apple, he can get whatever he wants from them I'm sure!

Yeah, but from an Apple Store? Obviously the 3G model is in the wild, but I didn't think Apple Stores would have um.

He'd have arranged in advance to get one to that store.

Woz scored a 3G this morning? (pic)

i'm pretty sure he scored his before this morning.

Probably, and he camped out for additional units.

I would have a great big smile on my face to.

Looks pretty nice, actually. I was afraid the black strip would be ugly, but I guess the gallery pic on Apple's site just doesn't do it justice.

Can't wait to get my 64GB 3G. WiFi and WiFi + 3G both come out at the same time in Canada so there's not really a wait time deterring me from the 3G.

Just to play with in line according to endgadet.

Update 2: We've got video of the 3G iPad running Netflix. An Apple engineer apparently walked through the queue with it, it didn't come out of Steve's magical trenchcoat pocket.

Ok......this will be a dumb question...


if he's got one, why wouldn't they be available for the rest of us? I understand the politics and all.......

Help me understand this!

It either has to do with FCC certification or a production issue (e.g. they couldn't produce enough of both 3G/non-3G at the same time).

At least you know they are ready to go and soon they will be released.
