    WTF, where is the Mini?

    If you watched the keynote or have been reading any news at all, you would know that it is slated to be released only by the end of November.

    November 21 is the speculation.

    Ordered from AT&T.com last night about 2:50 AM, it was already live. No info whatsoever on shipping date however. Will be pissed if it is not shipped by the end of today.

    Ordered mine at 8 EDT very easy. To pick up later today in SOho. 128 GB Wifi Silver
    Obviously not an iPhone release nor iPad- like in the past.

    Can't wait to pick it up later today.  And the mall has a California Pizza Kitchen, so bonus. :)


     

    Next to the Microsoft Store, LOL

    RIDICULOUS NAME.

    The iPad Ar weighs 1.00 pound. The iPad 2 weighs 1.33 pounds. Wow. The latest model practically floats off the table.

    Seriously why didn't they just keep the name iPad? This is as bad as the iPhone 5c, which is just an iPhone 5 in a plastic case. Why change the name?

    Ridiculous.

    Swung by Best Buy at 8am on my way into work- walked right in- no line- out the door in 3-5 minutes and didn't have to deal with mall parking and the Apple Store wait. Too bad Best Buy is a dead man walking... it def. is convenient on launch days.

    Ridiculous.

    The 5c at least makes since... it is a different color.  I dislike the Air name.  I would just assume that people call it the iPad in the real world- no way I'm saying "You have an iPad?  I have an iPad Air"

    On a side note, I think Apple has got a winner in space grey.

    It could be worse and be called the iPad Magic.

    Got my iPad Air today from Best Buy. Only 9 people in line ahead of me, and I was out within 15 minutes. Ended up paying a grand total of $0 for my 32GB WiFi Space Grey and (RED) Smart Cover. Used $455 in Best Buy Rewards Certificates and $220 in Best Buy gift cards that I cashed out from Credit Card miles.

    And got another $25 in reward points for your next purchase... towards the iPad Mini w/ Retina.  ;)

    I don't think so. Since I didn't pay anything out of pocket, I don't earn any rewards for this purchase. I think that rewards are only accumulated for what you actually pay out of pocket (cash, credit card, etc).

    Gift cards are the same as cash- sp maybe you got $15.

    I just clicked refresh about once per minute until it worked. It was a few minutes late.

    Not what I found. The store, on my iPad, and the Apple store app on both the phone and iPad didn't give the message "we'll be right back" until about 2am. I refreshed numerous times, including completely closing Safari and the apps. Only later did the message come on the screen of the web site and the apps. It took until about 3am until the store and apps were ready for sales. I though it was very strange.

    But I did get the space grey, 128 GB LTE model from Verizon. Hopefully, it will be here in a few days. Previously I've stood in line for three hours. But they went on sale at 6pm, not 8am. Standing in line was fun because of meeting a lot of people, and sharing interesting information about how it was used, and how people were intending to use them. About half were buying them for their businesses. I'll miss that.

    If people ask me which iPad I have, or whether I have one, I'll just say "I have the air", which is what I imagine most people will say.

    After much debate, I finally decided on buying my first Silver iPad. I ordered from the Apple Store online right at 12am. I'm hoping it delivers on 11/4 as the website says.
