I have decided to wait until they are in the Apple stores and then get my beady little hands on one to try out to see which version would suit me best. So far the 64Gb wifi version appeals most to me. Though I think I will get one later this year or early next year.

I got a 3 mifi a while back, which is a little sub-mobile phone gadget that connects to 3G and shares it via wifi. It cost about half as much as the as difference between the wifi and 3G iPads and the tariffs are much the same...

Actually quite a while before then. Insomnia is not your friend but he does catch the early bird :)
I ordered a 64GB wifi and the camera connection kit.


lol - was just speaking from personal experience, you understand ;) I also bought the camera connection kit and case. Yes, I thought about the MiFi option as well, but I think it would end up being just be one more thing I'd have to carry (or not) along with associated chargers, cables etc... I think the 3G option is just simpler for my intended usage, albeit at a price of course.

So, roll on the 28th - day after my birthday, as it happens :)

I've ordered the 64GB WiFi, as I'll be using mainly at home and friends rather than on the move I opted for the WiFi. Also I don't like the look of the black strip on the 3G, shame the reception is hindered by the casing.

Well that's quite a few people here who have already ordered.

I wasn't expecting such a large uptake on the forums.

Maybe two polls one for those who have ordered and one for those who plan to buy at some point. It will be a lot of options though.

There was a poll (CC's I think), and IIRC, the response was nothing like this thread :lol:

Just received my confirmation email at 17.09 - placed the order at 06.35 this morning! Maybe first day pre-orders are better than expected - or maybe they're just having a slow day ;)

Apparently the initial batch in the UK have now sold out since if you pre-order one now you won't get it until June 7th. Took, what, 3 days?
