*** The all new Apple iPad thread - Keep all iPad stuff in here ***

Do you guys recon if i go to the app store on friday morning , theres a chance of me getting a 16gb wifi model ?

I'd get there before 0800 if possible. No one knows how many each store will get. A couple of other stores, non Apple, are apparently going to be stocking them on Friday in an exclusive deal with Apple. 139 stores, or something, across the country. I won't mention them as I don't want a ban right now (I mentioned them in an earlier post and a mod edited it. Last time I mentioned competitors twice I got a ban).

I work for UPS (London area) and all drivers have been asked to start work 30 mins earlier than normal tomorrow,
due to an extra 3000 or so packages coming in

And that's just UPS for London. I wonder if TNT will be delivering there as well. The stores gonna be tested tomorrow. Hope it's better than EVE Onlines server.

Hmmm, mine's apparently in Tamworth as at 7:58PM..... (UPS) Wonder what that translates to? Will be surprised if it comes before Friday.

iBooks is now on the app store, not checked to see what's available yet.

I'd be surprised if you didn't get it tomorrow. Couriers like UPS don't stop shifting stuff round the world/country at night.

No publishers are there yet, it's just out of copyright stuff.

Really want to get a load of apps tomorrow but I know a highstreet card shop are doing Buy One Get Second Half Price on iTunes gift cards at the weekend so it would be wasted money But I want apps tomorrow when I get the iPad

 

[ElliorR]

Yes, a couple of people posting in this very thread have done so.
