Will the Apple Stores be having them in stock? Because if they do, surely to get one on release, early start + going to an Apple Store will net you one?

Doh!
Forgot to use quidco for my order... considered cancelling and replacing the order but just noticed the delivery date is pushed back to 7th June now...
Hopefully I'm in the first batch, my email clearly says "Delivers by May 28th" so fingers crossed. Dont know if anyones clocked this, but if it doesn't come on the 28th, the Monday's a bleedin' bank holiday so it'll be Tuesday - not 100% if they intend to send them out, or get them to us on the 28th?
Sad isn't it, if I would be willing to wait until the 7th, I could save my £18 through quidco... am I going to?
...
nope
I thought Quidco/Topcashback wasn't being paid for iPads? Read somewhere that it will track but not pay!
Is it possible to get an iPad delivered to a store?
it better get paid, i am getting fed up of Quidco asking me to go hassle retailers because stuff tracks then never gets paid, if i am not paying them to deal with stuff like that what am i paying them for.
They have edited the bloody apple page!
"No cashback is presently available on iPad, iPod nano, iPod classic and iPod shuffle purchases."
That wasnt there when i ordered mine! i have £14.27 tracked from the apple store.

I'm thinking of getting an ipad with just Wifi and wanted to know if i will still be able to use apps like "whats app" which uses push notifications as I'm unsure if the ipad remains connected by Wifi when its on standby
For those people with the problem of what apps to synch to what devices, would a simple method like having two users on the same PC work?
It's the way I distinguish between my iPhone and my wifes iTouch as we have different apps and different songs on each one.
Not an ideal solution, but it may work if it's causing you major problems.

But you just tick which apps you want to synch to which device in iTunes, works fine. I have different apps on my iPhone and my iPad.

Aye 12 days and coincidentally I have that week off. Shame it's not out next Friday so I could have a whole workless week with it.
not that it matters thought i have a load of work and studying to do wont have much time to play with the ipad lol

Well, I rebooted my iPad for the first time and I now have the widely reported WiFi issue where it keeps dropping and Safari doesn't load any web pages. Sucks. Just got to wait until Apple release the software update. 
Poor but expected from Apple.
Poor but expected from Apple.And yet we still buy their products
(But to be fair, this is not something expected of Apple as they are usually quality products no?)
The golden Apple rule - never buy the first generation. This was quoted by an old mac head.
However usually their products keep running and are engineered to high standards.

Have no issue with the hardware, just sometimes the software can let the product down.
I've decided to get one, I just can't make my mind up which version.
16GB should be enough, but the extra £70 for double the capacity is decent value imo.
I can't think whether I need a 3G or not either. I'll be mainly using it to take to client meetings so I guess I'm going to have to. I just don't like the idea of another monthly bill on top of my iPhone contract.
Argh!

£70 for double is pretty good value. Just think about what your be putting on it. Like im guessing more movies then music as you have your iPhone.
So you can still put a few movies on a 16GB with plenty of applications and such.
Forgot how much the monthly cost is, £10 or something? On top of the £100 more or so for the 3G version. Its rather expensive. Though it is great thing to have as there's not to many public wi-fi spots.
I personally will probably go with the 16gb wi-fi only version and try to get a mate to get me one when in america. I can use JoikuSpot on my Nokia 5800 to make a wi-fi hotspot. Not the quickest thing ever but it works from my phone to ipod touch
Probably no music at all because that's all on my iPhone, as you said (I even have an iPod if I want to take my full music collection with me).
I would like to have a few movies/tv shows on it for commuting purposes (if I get the train anywhere for example) but I'm not talking loads and loads. 32GB would probably be just about right.
You're right about the £100 extra for the 3G though, especially when you factor in the extra monthly cost. Someone posted an O2 £10 a month tariff with unlimited internet, so that looks like the way to go if you're going down the 3G route.
So what started off me looking at the £429 16GB WiFi version will probably end up in me getting the £599 32GB 3G with a £10 monthly cost on top.
I just need to work out whether it's worth it. The extra £170 might not be that much, but I'm going to need to factor in a case for it and other accessories - it's all adding up
Decisions, decisions.

I wouldn't want to spend £10 more per month on top of my £20 contact for my phone and everything else! Though maybe if i was an adult and had a full time job i probably would

Anyone know why they have the headphone jack hole at the top of the iPad and not at the bottom. Not to sure how it is on the iPhone but i know on the ipod touch its at the bottom. Thought it would make more sence having it at the bottom...?

£10 a month 02 tariff seems perfect, i pay £15 a month for 3gig limit for my netbook now.
Yeah I don't think it's unreasonable at all. I'm not put off but when you think about the other costs of getting a 3G iPad it really does start adding up.
