Just had UPS at my door dropping a distinctive size box off to me:

WHAHAHAHA?!!?!?

 

[TheRoadWarrior]

Is it?

Man, why did mine have to go via TNT?

 

[keogh]

And I opened it up and it was:

Doh! Sorry guys, but when he knocked at the door with that shaped box I was like what the f...! I ordered the Elgato Video capture yesterday (gonna backup all my old home vids) and was told 3-5 day delivery, not next day!

I really was expecting the iPad, oh well, tomorrow hopefully!

 

[Gee]

Anyone who is waiting for TNT tracking to go live apparently it'll happen after 6pm, from macrumours:

I just spoke to TNT customer services - apparently the tracking numbers will go live at some point after 6pm this evening. She also assured me that, as they're an overnight courier company, they will DEFINITELY be delivered tomorrow (but couldn't tell me what time).

Looks like I'll give up hitting refresh for a while and do some work for the afternoon... dagnamnit!

Guardian have posted the best review of the iPad 3 (i.e. the most realistic):

http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2012/mar/15/apple-ipad-3-review?CMP=NECNETTXT8187



Says it all really. There's very little wrong with the iPad 2's display - unless my nose touches the screen I cannot see pixels on that!

On the voice dictation:






Also, T3 have reported that the battery life is worse on the new iPad:



New York Times:

This post is the mother of all biased quoting.

You Tease!

I'm LMAO! First I was like GRRRR then i was like

 

[keogh]

Couldn't believe the odds of UPS turning up with a box that shape today when I was not expecting UPS at all and certainly was not expecting that to be delivered today. I really believed it was the iPad and nothing else.

It's times like these that I'm glad the missus doesn't work and is home all day

[Jay794]

Sat happily reading comics on my jailbroken iPad 2, wondering what all the fuss is about lol

 

[gonda]

Anyone know how to add a delivery note on the UPS website to instruct them to leave the package with a neighbour? Says you can do it on the site but I can't see where....

 

[keogh]

I hear that yours is now coming next week.

 

[scudstrike]

na it's not coming next week, it's coming with a damaged screen and flickering display...

Does anyone know if I can return my online iPad order in-store? If so, what is the time frame for doing this?

Just thinking I should probably go for the 32Gb +4g instead of the 16Gb+4g arriving tomorrow.
