*** The Official iPad (Early 2012) Thread ***

My mum says I've got a parcel as I walk in from work - I'm thinking "Surely it can't be the iPads..." and it was my free Pies and Beer from O2 Still a win

Lol at all the 16gb purchasers who said they didn't need the space, t3 said this

"Retina-optimised apps, 1080p video and hi-res photos come in seriously hefty file sizes - Nicolas Winding Refn’ HD Drive movie comes in at more than 3Gb. The 16gb version seems like a non starter"

Why do I need more than 16gb when ALL my content will be stored on a NAS/Livedrive

I won't be playing games on it, that's what my PC and Xbox are for

When im mobile, I'll have access to 4TBs of Livedrive storage

Anyone else got theirs yet?

If they have, they won't say in order to keep the delivery driver out of trouble especially if they are a neighbour

Would love to see some unboxing pics

Unfortunately, when mobile, the network infrastructure can't support much in the way of HD streaming.

Yes - on the UPS page if you click the Quantum tracking link you can get them to automatically send you emails as the status changes. That's what I use when Apple ship via UPS to me.

ive taken a look at my ups page and cant see this quantum tracking link anywhere. the only quantum tracking thing ive seen on the website requires me to register as someone who wants to ship a package out. ?

 

[Slogan]

Got my shipped e-mail earlier today, TNT estimating a 'delivery by' date of the 19th and Apple rang me again today to say that it'll definitely be with me tomorrow. Not convinced though.

 

[Egon]

Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaage!

In business got my tracking details from Apple. Despatched from Tamworth and looking good for delivery tomorrow by UPS.

 

[scudstrike]

Well just phoned them. They claim it will be still delivered tomorrow. I'm not convinced!

Apparently it's in Birmingham, being re-routed tonight, delivered tomorrow. I'm clinging on to that hope!

 

[scudstrike]

[ElliorR]

If mine doesn't get delivered tomorrow I will hunt down and kill Steve Jobs.
