If you have an unlimited AT&T plan with the original iPad you'll get unlimited & unthrottled 4G/LTE as well..

Pre Order was fairly simple. Guess they resolved the server overload issues. White 16gb with Pink cover on the way for the future wife.

Edit: Spoke too soon.. guess I need email confirmation first to ensure it gets delivered on March 16th..

I don't think he took you up on that offer, but I will. I will cover the Apple logo with a Sony sticker, robot, twig, whatever you want. Let's do this.

I love the 2 a lot. The nicer screen is the only selling point to me I think. Could care less about the camera, the speed is nice, but until I see more apps that use that processor, not sure. The 4G doesnt interest me too much either.

I'm semi-serious.

I thought you were offering it up out of the goodness of your heart! But fine, I will give you $1,500. I'll have to have my bank manager at the National Bank of Nigeria wire you the funds upon receipt of the iPad. I'm gonna need your CC number to verify your identity as well.

I was FINALLY able to pre-oder an apple TV off my phone after like 3 hours of trying between shooting.

I was getting so many errors my phone was giving them to me in German...

I haven't tried for an iPad yet because I don't see the LTE models on the apple store yet...later release date? Been out all day haven't been able to read all the release notes.

This is the 7th major iOS device release announcement...you'd think apple would have finally put in some kind of measures to deal with heavy server traffic.

I think they like having this shit go chaotic

I think this one was even more than any they have done. People are grabbing this one because of the screen.

I remember emails taking forever to get sent out...or there was one instance where I never got one.

But they are in my order status.

It took me two tries to order the iPad...I adnt been trying because the LTE model isn't listed on the apple store app. not sure why.

Took me like 3 hours to get the apple tv over the phone app.

Dunno if it was stated already but due to the new high res screen and what that will mean for apps...Apple boosted its 3G download limit to 50MB
