Apple Pre-order, Free Shipping

iPad preorders begun this morning at 8:30 am.

iPad pre-order limit: two per customer. If Saturday delivery is not available in your area, iPad will be delivered on April 5

I ordered mine this morning! Here is the selection of iPad accessories available through preorder



You can also order Apple’s iPad accessories. The book-like case is $40, the iPad Keyboard Dock is $70, the regular dock is $30 and the spare mains charger is $30. In the box with the iPad you get this charger and a dock cable, but no headphones at all. Two-year Applecare for the iPad is another $100.

So, which one did I go for? In the end I was torn between the 16GB and 32GB, but settled on the 16GB. Also, I went for Wi-Fi only since that’s the one that ships first, and this is going to be more of a showcase device than a productivity enhancer at this stage.

All the hype, in a few minutes I’m left $533.93 poorer and awaiting the arrival of my new toy. You definitely have to hand it to the Apple marketing crew. Not only did I set my alarm and make sure I purchased right at 8:30am, but I did this knowing that there will probably be more than enough iPads available at the Apple Store on April 3rd. I should also mention that I haven’t physically held the iPad, so somehow Apple convinced me to part with my money for a device that I haven’t even fully experienced yet.

Did you pre-order? If so, which iPad did you pick up? Order yours here
