Orderd right at 7:30
” width=”19″ height=”19″ alt=”smile” style=”border:0;” /> 3 more weeks. Dock with keyboard ships mid April
Last minute switch. 2 3G 16GB models instead of wifi only. Oh happy day. Now to find out what late April means.
placed my order for 2 – 32 gig wifi’s and cases. Will any aapl bluetooth work on the IPAD?
Ordered!
I’m in……. 64GB Wi-Fi only.
Looks like there is a limit of 2 iPads per order. DOH!

ordered one! 64gb+3g
64 gig, case, dock, ACare
Got a 64gb wifi with case $798 total
iPad says to be delivered on the third the case says to be shipped around then. So it looks like we might get the iPad on the actual release day and the accesories a few days later.
I didn’t see any options for in store pickup on the online store or on any of the retail store pages. Guess you gotta do that in store?
Btw I ordered exactly at 730 and still haven’t gotten my confirmation email…
Just ordered mine. 64GB Wifi+3G with keyboard dock and case. Can’t wait!!
wifi only has bluetooth 2.1 + edr, so any wireless apple keyboard should pair.
@Msavwah: I ordered at roughly the same time, and it took quite a while for my confirmation email to arrive (nearly 20 minutes). I imagine they’re a little busy.
My prediction: Apple outsells three years’ worth of Kindles in pre-orders alone.
No wonder the internet is slow today.
Anyone having problems with reservations? I get “Please select a pick up date” with no where to pick a date, on the last step.
64 Gig WiFi 3G w/keyboard, power adapter, VGA, AppleCare – already have MobileMe (at full price).
Now, I almost have a MacBook w/black bezel.
@buh-bye Kindle,
Wouldn’t it be funny if that happened in the first few hours? I would not be surprised.
Ordered my 64GB with 3G, case and Applecare right at 8:30a EST. Probably wont make a difference in priority but so be it. Can’t wait.
Got mine. 16GB WiFi. Just want it for around the house web browsing really. PERFECT! No accessories, will pick those up in store once I figure out what I want.
Wireless kb? I didn’t know they were doing that
poor poor me no ipad ordering today! Asap tho
Where is the Memory card adapter to import photo’s from a camera which was talked about during the introduction of iPad? So Apple expect us to travel with both a computer an iPad to import our photo’s into it? How much more can Apple limit us?
“Will any aapl bluetooth work on the IPAD?”
Yes, it will, you can use your iMac keyboard on the iPad.
I guess we have our confirmation about no webcam! Disappointing!
64Gb WiFi – pickup in Store on April 3rd. I live in a rural area that doesn’t have reliable Saturday delivery, I’d rather drive an hour to the Apple Store and know I have it on 4/3.
I ordered a couple of docks and the case after I finished the reservation. I’m hoping those ship out in late March and arrive before I pick up my iPad.
1st App Purchase?
