Apple iPad and related items

If I walk into an apple store tomorrow, I won't be able to get one will I?

I'll let you know what the queues are like in the morning (I walk past the store at 7am on the way to work) but this may be of use... http://www.3g.co.uk/PR/May2010/Apple-iPad-To-Be-Sold-in-Currys-And-PC-World-At-Launch-3G.html

The early bird catches the iPad.

There are also a variety of Currys branches that will have some stock, think there is a list of which branches somewhere online but I dont have a link.

BBC iPlayer for iPad comes out tomorrow too, which is nice.

Still not tried mine, my boss phoned me up and now Ive got to do some work for a bit.

[hendo]

There have been a couple of niggles though haven't there, specifically a wifi connection problem reported with some units.
I totally get it though, I don't care, I want one too.

 

[Crispy]

the wifi issue is a software one, apparently

 

[FridgeMagnet]

I thought it was to do with antennae placement.

UPS tracking site now says:

THE RECEIVER WAS UNAVAILABLE TO SIGN ON THE 1ST DELIVERY ATTEMPT. A 2ND DELIVERY ATTEMPT WILL BE MADE

...except it's to my work address with permanent manned reception and they haven't even fucking tried.

I swear they're going to try to pull some shit like this with me. I wouldn't have minded if they'd said "yeah it'll come tomorrow", I could have left the house then ffs.

Vbulletin forums work real nicely with it, can type pretty fast too.

Almost perfect, though the ideal device would weigh slightly less, would not be able to feel vibrations from speaker, would perhaps have more RAM, no real complaints so far though.

 

[FridgeMagnet]

shut up you

 

[Crispy]

You need to activate it with a computer with itunes don't you?

This will complicate matters if I do get one tomorrow morning...

 

[elbows]

shut up you

Sorry. I think you may have to allow till 7pm before giving up for today, as they have been a bit overwhelmed in some areas. What does your tracker say?

 

[FridgeMagnet]

Still out for delivery. I have to be somewhere at 7. Luckily it's not far I suppose.

 

[Kanda]

About 10 people queue outside Regent St store lol
