Who pre ordered an iPad today and what did you get. The WiFi or 3g.

I'm waiting for the infamous price drop. The 3G plan doesn't look that bad. Still need some hands on and more details....

Pre ordered mine today 16gb wifi. Going to use it as my home theater controller.

Shame Apple do not take pre-orders outside the US!

The iPhone history repeats itself it seems, with first restricting sales to the US then months and months later finally opening up for sales in other countries...

dont forget the rippoff prices they charge when hitting countries outside US.when the ipod touch 32gb landed in my country,its price was and still $600.not to mention iphone 3gs:$850+data plan on vodafone!! people in the US should be thankful for what they have.

Yes, we pay 50% premium here, but I doubt it has anything to do with Apple wanting to charge those prices since both China and Hong Kong are cheaper. Then, Japan is way cheaper too. Korean politics just hate anything not Korean and will surcharge everything.

It ain't always Apple's fault.

I'll probably skip this version simply because of financial reasons, and I'd like to get a plan, but it ins't worth it in this country who'll offer like 50MB per month and charge 50$ for it.

This product is ridiculous and pointless. Buy an iTouch and a netbook with ION. It's cheaper and does 10x more.

I ordered the 32gb wifi version. When the 128gb 4g version comes out, I'll pass this along to my wife.

Yes. This is unfortunate when a country wants to limit goods shipped by other countries. They just hike up the taxes and if that country wants to sell its goods, then up goes the end user price. And you know, Steve Jobs is not taking a pay cut to lower prices over seas. Hell, when Best Buy runs a sale for an ipod in the US it's like 5 dollars off.

The wife will be getting one for her birthday.

 

[chicagojammer]

was going to order one but realized it was utterly useless

I was thinking of getting 1 for the wife, but it's a bit on the large side for her (she's 5ft tall). Besides, I'm actually gonna take iLounge's advice and wait to see how this goes, and if the Gen2 is better.

Is anyone planning on using the iPad as their sole portable music device? Seems kind of big to lug around.

Seems same kind of big for a portable audio player as my 20"/ 17lbs laptop for portable use. Try carrying it one day and you will definitely decide it is much too big.
