Been waiting for months for this, holding off the iPad2, this and probably an aTV3 if its the same price as the aTV2.

If preorders go live tonight whats the likely ETA based on previous releases - day of release or a few days after?

My original iPad was delivered the day before release. I hope it is released next Friday, and I can get one, as the following week i am going onto a 5 day working week, boo I've loved working 4 days for the last 4 years, and will no longer have every Friday off. Shame as it's great for deliveries.

Thanks,

Looking forward to seing the specs of this badboy, could be a very good indicator of what else is going to be released this year.

Oh, it's a 'badboy' now is it?

If its any Friday I have no college on Fridays so that be good I I can't preorder.

Looking forward to the keynote, hope there's a live stream. If not oh well.

QuickPwn.com have announced they are streaming the conference live here.

Usually they are bad quality streams though, so I normally boycott them and just read the live blogs...

I have updated the live blog links, as well as add two more to choose from in the OP.

Rar, not amused that you can't stream the conference. I guess I'll watch it tomorrow morning once Apple have uploaded it.

The mother in law will be in the US in the next couple of weeks.
Might just wait for her to bring me one back - is there any significant difference between the US and UK version, or is the same same, with a different regional setting applied?

Also, reckon she'd get done for "Muling" a few more over?

Jimbeam3678 · 7 Mar 2012 at 12:03

She'd get hit with import tax amongst other things yes!

If you got caught with loads of them, then yes you would have to pay up.

However, Apple usually has a 2 per customer policy on new product launches, so I doubt you could buy loads of them.

Not if she doesn't declare it

Buy one and dump the box and your unlikely to have any problems even if your stopped by customs. Any more than one and it could get painful. I wouldn't want to be in your shoes if the mother-in-law had to spend several hours with C&E. No point getting greedy.

Or unboxes it for you (and disposes of the box) then she could bring it through as her own.

Supercow · 7 Mar 2012 at 13:38

I'll get her to buy two for me and unbox them

Thanks!

Is there going to be live streaming?

Not officially, live blogs though which are just as good

Not a stream from Apple unfortunately...

However, QuickPwn.com have announced they are streaming the conference live here. These streams are usually pretty poor though, so I would have the live blogs on just incase.

Rubbish, what happened to live streams it seemed to be in for a few conferences.

Yeah shouldn't be too bad for audio - but in the past you lose the feed every so often.

I believe they've streamed it once (maybe twice) before to test the iCloud servers, but they've stop doing it ever since

It's definitely a shame though
