So what's a good condition 32gb iPad 1 worth now? Thinking about selling mine.

For any Canadians (such as myself), here is a map I found on Apple's site explaining the March 16-20 delivery window.

They wanted $270 for my 16GB iPad 2 as of yesterday. My wife gets it instead.

From what I've been reading around the Internet, it sounds like people who had their iPad engraved have statuses of 'Preparing for Shipment' or 'Shipped' while everyone else has statuses of 'Processing Items'.

$350. Not too bad, I expected it to be lower.

ok So I changed my order from 16 gb wifi to 32 gb wifi after noticing that my 16 gb phone which has NO music or video has only 2 gb left

You can't fit crap on a 16gb. I have a 32gb iPhone and I'm still finding myself deleting videos and apps because I'm running out of room. I even deleted 90% of my music and just threw on the most common songs I listen to because of space issues. I really need the 64gb model.

Indeed. I was quite excited when I found that map, discovered that I was in zone 1 and would be getting my new iPad on launch day.

wait is there a map like this for US ?
You need to educate yourself on streaming software like plex. I have two albums on my iphone everything else can be accesses as long as i have a signal. Which is always because i never go camping or hiking or 100 feet underground.
Yeah, that's the product I was talking about when I said it was a NAS rather than a simple USB hard drive. It functions as a wireless access point and has a web interface. But the downside of course is the price. It costs twice as much as the external HD I bought last year and has a quarter of the storage space. So I'd be paying 8x as much per gigabyte. So I still don't understand why there hasn't been more interest to develop support for generic USB storage devices on jailbroken iPads.
Isn't that a pretty big drain on your data plan if you don't have a Wifi connection?

I'm going 16gigs and don't foresee any problem. I have a 64gig phone that is mostly full. On the phone you really do need the media on the device.
For the iPad though, I can't imagine what you'd store locally. Photostream is the only thing I can think of. Any video content I watch will be streamed.
If you're a huge iOS gamer I could see 16gigs getting in the way, but for my uses I don't expect to have any issues.

well yeah thats a option.... but what if the internet is down or I am somewhere with no internet at all.
If I could just plug it into a pc or USB drive and copy/paste word doc's over without syncing through iTunes it would make the iPad a genuine replacement for a work laptop for me.
I have a iPod touch. I might mess around with jailbreak stuff and see what options are available before I decide if I should pick a ipad up.
well, it's different for everyone. I thought I'd be good with 16 GB this past year since I don't use a lot of heavy apps but I struggled because comics and newsstand apps eat up a lot of space.
if you're not going to use the ipad for that stuff (or movies or big games) then, yes, 16 GB is enough.
but since there's so many different use cases, 16 GB can get filled up surprisingly quickly.

1GB and we aren't the hardware development team, so we can't answer you last question. It's quad-core GPU, though. Realistic answer is that it's just not needed at this point, with the bump in GPU being a greater need for the retina display.
Holy shit, and I just wasted about a third of an iPad last night.
its also $200 for a 500GB portable drive. thats insane.

You can pre-sign for it by filling out a form available on the order tracking page. You leave the letter on your door, and they'll leave it.
The link won't show up until your item ships.

Once it ships you will be able to print out a paper for the delivery driver off Apple's site that you sign and leave on your door.

Bah I am nervous about 600+ dollars sitting on the doorstep. Though to be fair I have shipped hundreds of dollars over the years and not had a single thing stolen. Only thing is thieves will likely know iPads are arriving next Friday.

Just preordered mines. 32GB wifi in black. can't wait! I'm upgrading from a 16GB 1st gen ipad. Sold it on craigslist for $225. Had some minor scratches on the screen.

Do you plan on selling this iPad in the future?
