Gotta love how Apple products are now for sheep, when just a few years ago they were for contrarian hipsters.
Oh, it's still for contrarian hipsters. That's the thing, they are for everyone.
Everyone except for ultra tech-savvy grognards with aspergers.

Store is failing me!
Man, is it really that bad if you get it by the 18th or something? I'd pay that price for being able to press the buy button with peace of mind.

They sell these when the store opens nowadays, right? I remember the iPhone launch was 6pm.
some of the larger apps are 1GB, so I think I'd be wary of 16GB personally. 32 is probably the sweetspot, with 64 if you want to have a lot of offline content with you
Well, see, I don't really need it right away. It's probably just "New gadget lust". I could easily wait a few weeks. I only bought the iPad 2 day 1 last year because I didn't have one. Now I can probably wait. Even though I do have all the money ready.

Could you guys here please stop bombarding the online store? I can't pre-order my the new iPad.
Fair enough. I think The Verge's video podcast will be good enough for me later this evening.
Its for both sheeple masses and contrarian hipsters!Gotta love how Apple products are now for sheep, when just a few years ago they were for contrarian hipsters.

Nice! The apple tv is only $109 in Australia, the previous model cost $129. That 109 includes sales tax so it pretty much costs the same here as it does in the US.

Dammit I need an Apple TV and iPad
You can change the "genre" tag for books/PDF's much like you do with music in iTunes.

1. White bezel doesn't show fingerprints as much as the black.
2. My wife, mom, mother-in-law and brother-in-law all have black iPads. Wanted something different.

I liked how the white iPad looked until I saw it in person.
Something about that just seems wrong to me. But hey, options are good.
I prefer the floating black "window of content" with no distracting tone around it.
Also - I have an iPad 1, and I think I will still wait. It's running like a dog these days but there's only 11 months until the next iPad.
I will, however, pick up the new Apple TV for my big plasma, and move the old one to the 720p set i have upstairs. Pretty happy about that.

lol, I have two browsers open trying to connect to the store, plus my iPhone. I can't get on!
There'll be an official Apple Keynote on iTunes and Apple.com later tonight as usual where you can watch the actual event instead of people talking about what they're seeing on other blogs.
That's a bit crazy town. Whoa.

if I preorder, would they charge me now? or would they charge me like amazon just before it ships? Never ordered from Apple store.

I'm completely validated with this conference. More Tim. Less Phil. It was awesome. Can't wait to watch the keynote.
Steve's poor health was probably on the back of his mind .. he looked a lot more excited this time round.

I'm talking about all of today not just right now.
iPads aren't sim-locked. They take any sim that fits (micro sim, I think).

Sure it is.
Who wasn't expecting that even without the rumors? People were hoping it was going to be in the iPad 2. When it didn't happen then, everyone knew it was going to happen now. The resolution was no surprise because the same thing happened with the iPhone. With Apple's push on the retina display to begin with, and the need to give something that was a jump, this was something everyone expected.
So yes, it's by the numbers.
