I need one to tests some Apps, so further delays would mean longer delays for my apps and some other projects.
This all meant that I had to make a trip to the closest Apple store in the US, so on the 16th, a road trip to Buffalo. It was lucky my client moved a meeting a week out, so the day opened up last minute.
Just so you know. The pads are still on short supply. You can't just call a store and put a credit card down to purchase and show up the next day to pick them up. The sales person said you have to show up at a store to place an order ( in case you want a partcular model ), she said you have to be at the store to purchase. I explained that I was 2 hours away, how would they guarantee my trip wouldn't be a wasted trip? She said to drive fast after I call in the morning to confirm stock.
So I called the night before and started out 8am to be at the store when it opened. The limit is 2 units. I was lucky to get a 32gb, the 2nd guy behind was told to come back next week. They didn't have any 16 or 64gb versions.
Last bit, read the reviews already posted by all the tech journalist. My opinion - It is a gread device.
Solid feel
Instant on
Great screen
Replaces a lot of core functions on my notebook
I take it everywhere, I don't take my notebook everywhere.
The new iPad apps look really good, now to make my apps look just as nice.
