iFixit teardown is up!

http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/iPad-...eardown/8277/1

Oh and a quick shout out to my boys at iFixit! I order their Pro Tech tool kit and it came in yesterday and I replaced the battery in my iPhone 3G with the tools in it. Let me just say that that is the BEST toolkit I've used for working iDevices, Macs, PCs, etc. It has a bunch of tweezers, spudgers, suction cup, and every screw under the sun and they're magnetized!

You'd be surprised how quickly fedex/ups can move a package across the country

One time I was waiting for a package from Phoenix being shipped overnight. When i went to Bed, it said departed Phoenix, when I woke up, it said "Out for Delivery"

I think the package went from JFK airport right to the truck and to my house

I was hoping mine would show up before I left for work, but no dice. Its back on the truck for another attempt tomorrow. Hopefully they deliver it and the ipad together, before I leave for work this time!

In my experience, FedEx tracking info isn't always 100% up to date.

I've seen it changed almost in front of my eyes. I checked status of package, then had knock at the door. Opened package and mess around about 10 minutes. Went back to computer and refreshed page.

Just print out the pre-sign note and sign it, they'll leave it for you...you can even designate where you want them to leave it.

Depends on where it is.

I think the center is by the Oakland airport which isn't that bad of an area.

Nice ill get one eventually.

So I decided to get a 32gb one if I can and sell my 16gb one.

I'm here at a local strip mall and there is a bit of a line in front of bestbuy but no one at radio shack or the Verizon store.

While everyone is on line outside cold and wet , im parked in front of radio shack in my car having coffee listening to the radio. Why does everyone go to the apple store or bestbuy by default? Do they not know other stores sell ipads? 10 more minutes before the stores open then off to work

I am waiting, not patiently, but waiting for my dog to go into a barking frenzy. That I know is the FedEx driver walking up to my house.

the display.... the display....

Its so beautiful that the cheap screen protector that I purchased was pulled off with the quickness and thrown away because it screwed up the beauty of the screen. The screen is currently naked and i'm a bit nervous but I think i'll be fine.

Also it seems a bit snappier than other ipads i've messed with but i've never owned one before so I can't say for sure

the Display....

trying to find some good apps for this thing
