Fuck I regret getting the 16GB now, but if I cancel for the 32GB I wont get it day one... QQ
Haha. I just called, and they said they aren't sure yet, but will most likely have a separate line for in store pickup people.

Damn. FedEx won't hold the delivery at the FedEx location. Guess I'll just have to miss it then grab it late that night.

The only thing "confirmed" was pushback for anybody ordering in the last couple of days. My order hasn't shipped and I ordered in the first hour on Wednesday. I expect some stuff just won't ship til a business day (tomorrow).

They should be able to do it with not a problem at all (trust me, I work for FedEx). Call the CS # ( 1-800-463-3339), give them the tracking information and specifically ask for the agent to change the package from Delivery to Hold. A customer service queue will automatically generate at your local FedEx station, where the driver should be informed that the package is to be held at the station before it goes out on road on the delivery date. This is not guaranteed that it will happen, though, but 99% of the time we drivers are more than grateful to have a package held at the station (less deliveries is less work
Also, FYI, even though a package has a release signature on it, most drivers wont leave the package outside the door if it is perceived to be an expensive item and/or in danger of being stolen.

Mine shipped yesterday (UK). I have a tracking number (TNT are delivering, sigh) but it doesn't work at the moment. Just need a case now...

Apple requires the package to be attempted to be delivered at least once. So long as you haven't pre-signed, and no one signs for it at your home or office - you can pick it up at the delivering location.

I wish Apple would lose the stupid Home button and adopt Sony's swipe-between-open apps method. The bubbles and stuff on Vita can suck it though. I also wouldnt mind having different wallpapers per page of apps on iOS. I love most of my Apple products, but iOS is really not that great. It's dead-simple enough to have mass appeal though.
Nope, you didn't miss anything. Apple still says anyone that ordered one when it said "arriving on March 16th" will be getting it March 16th.
You can swipe between apps on the iPad using gestures.
edit: oh and removing the home button for that would be an atrocious move

I don't think you realize how hard that actually is.
As long as you didn't engrave the device, resell at launch and go to an Apple Store. Or you may be able to return at Apple Store and pay the difference?
I have some of the nicer stands that are $18 on that site but I got them for around $5 at Michael's craft store.

Yeah, people with opinions contrary to my own upset me too...no wait, they don't. I'm not a fan of everything about iOS. I'm sorry that fact upsets you so much.
I'm well aware of how hard that is. It's actually harder to be both simple and powerful. To get what I want requires a jailbreak. No biggie.

Cases like this one will work with iPad 2 and 3.
They're even selling it as a case for "new" iPad now. I've seen no snap-in cases that say they'll work with both yet. Probably that half-a-millimeter difference. That will require a brand new case.

Was a reference to your herpderp response of "Oh this is too rich" instead of actually posting something meaningful in response. I'm a big boy, I can handle people stating their opinion even if it doesn't match mine. It's a shame you couldn't be bothered to post anything like that. I love my Apple products, but they're incredibly far from perfect, and that includes the lackluster iOS (non-jailbroken).

I was laughing at you wishing for an iOS feature that already exists, and then writing that iOS is dead simple. The contrast was funny.
You're very serious about your tablet operating systems.
Agree. Retina will only truly be appreciated on a big screen

I tend to be serious about anything I spend 500+ dollars on. I'm silly like that.

Baconsammy you gotta enable multitasking gestures and then four finger swipe between open apps.
Can you selectively download apps over WiFi from your computer? I.e manage wireless sync settings from the iPad?
Memory management would be simpler if I didn't have to use my computer or download over the internet
I also hope it isn't. I am going after work and am hoping I can be in and out.
It can mess with some apps. It's not a complete solution.

It also barely works on an iPad one. Err, it does work but its slow and chuggy and alot of times forces apps to close out and go to the homescreen.
The way it stretches out the left side of the left most app when you pull it to the right is kinda neat though. However, it noticeably degrades the image, almost as if it just took a screenshot of the app and then stretches it. I wonder how that will look on the new display.

This seems like a nice cheap option. Do they work well with iPhones too?

Thanks, but I gave my iPad 1 away to my mom (she loves it). I got sick of web pages reloading and apps failing to maintain state. I'm really hoping for better on iPad 3. Thanks for the heads-up on the swiping. I love the gesture support on my MacBook Air.
Didn't notice this on the day the site went live - maybe its old?

The loupe showing the differences between iPad 2 and the new one. 3 different apps as well. Simple but really impressive

Text at reasonable distance doesn't look any different to me. The photos look great though. Can't wait.
huh? The biggest improvement is the text IMO. I read a lot of PDFs that can't be reflowed. You notice it the most when the text is smaller
A few days of waiting versus spending over 500 dollars on something you're not truly satisfied with. Not a tough decision. Not a decision at all, really.

I don't see much of any difference in the text until I use the microscope thingy they provide. From a couple feet away the text is indistinguishable. This will always be different if I read on my iPad from less than a foot away.

My issue is that they should have had a page where you can see both iPads at their original iPad screen size as an example. I don't see the difference without the loupe but I Know I will when I hold them side by side

You can't simulate a retina display on your crappy computer monitor unless you use the loupe. That's the point.
I guess this concept is pretty difficult.
Damn. Apple's really telling the iPad 2 owners that they should upgrade to the new hotness.
