Ordered 2
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!
http://iPadLot.com
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?
@John thx I just got the email few mins ago.
@Bryan pages numbers and keynote will be available from the AppStore via iPad for $9.99 each
For in store Reservation, I had to go to the actual store’s website. There was a link that said “stay up to date” about the iPad. On that page, there were two links, one for ordering online and one for Reserving at the store. Then you still have to select the state and the store to reserve it. You pay when you pick it up and it will only be held until 3pm, then it’s first come first served.
Ordered 2 (64 WiFi,64 WiFi+3G) at exactly
8:30am when Apple store came back on
line. No waiting, no problems. The WiFi
comes on the 3rd and case some 2 days
later.
Confirmation eMail at 9:16am.
Interesting that iPad Camera Connection Kits
were not available.
It’s gonna be a long 3 weeks.
Reserved mine for pickup at the Local Apple Store. So I guess I’ll be in line at the Apple Store on release day!
I ordered mine! 64GB Wifi and case. Bring on April 3rd.
Got mine ordered shortly after 7:30 CST.
Can’t wait to get iPad in my hands.
Conformation email received!!
When you come in to pick up your iPad, you’ll be part of an exciting launch at the Apple Store. We’ll have Specialists ready to help you set up your iPad, free workshops, and more. We can’t wait to see you at the store.
Sincerely,
The Apple Retail Store team

Signed up as a business customer yesterday and ordered 3 iPads to be delivered. It appears that business customers were able to pre order before today!
Reserved the very first one at the Apple store in Natick MA this morning. I was there for one to one training before the store opened.
Great place with excellent employees.
2 ordered… 1 64GB wifi+3G, and 1 16GB wifi only just because I couldn’t wait a month to use the 3G model. I’ll sell the wifi on eBay.. who knows… by then they may be out of stock and I can get more than I paid. Wishful thinking maybe…
Not user upgradeable for memory.
Checked this morning.
No sale.
I am waiting until the price drop on version 1.n (where n > 0). I can’t bring myself to pay that much for a Mac without a terminal command shell. Sorry, just the nature of my work. I am sure many others will find this deice immensely useful and entertaining.
just my $0.02
iPad + 32GB + 3G + case + extra AC adapter.
Now waiting, again.
Ordered wifi and 3g 64. No email yet. But looking forward.
Just placed my order….
iPad with Wi-Fi + 3G 64GB
iPad Case
Pad 10W USB Power Adapter
Almost as exciting as my first Mac Plus order 25 years ago…
My cc was billed immediately for the full amount. Anyone else notice this? They usually do not bill until item ships.
I’ll wait for a webcam.
Wife asked if I could wait until after the 3rd to buy one… I pre-ordered my 16gb Wi-fi 10 minutes ago, and she will never ask that question again.
Ordered 16GB WiFi with accessories to understand where the future lies. As long as this can connect on the network, there seems no reason to not be able to use this a s a form of smart terminal @ work for half the price of a MacBook.
Reading emails, orders, acknowledging and printing shipping docs, seems like a reasonable thing.
Plus, my dear wife can figure out how to use the iPad without significant training just like she did with the iPhone. That means I don’t have to constantly explain how & why and her MacBook goes to the business for other work.
Win-Win: Apple gets money, I spend less support time.
1st Day Preorder #s Guess: What do you think?
My guess is Apple announces 350,000 on day 1.
At 5:30 PST rdered 16 gig wifi and 32 gig 3G. Wife gets the wifi as soon as I get the 3G model. Waiting on the curb for delivery…..
It’s now been about 3 1/2 hours since Apple started taking orders. Any minute, we should feel a slight disturbance in The Force, as iPad sales surpass Nook sales entirely. A couple more hours and it’ll pass the Kindle too.
Checked with the local apple store and they were experiencing the same errors. Might just be in the southeast. Back online with a working reservation page bu 11:30 Eastern time.
Order 16Gb Wi-fi for the house. Going to wait to order the 3G till later.
Anybody not get a confirmation email? I’m talking for pre-orders not reservations.
I used a non-US card. I was not sure if that would be ok but it was accepted.
I can see my order status on the site no prob.
But no confirmation email like seemingly everyone else got?
Anyone else waiting?
